* RIGHT TO A SPEEDY AND PUBLIC TRIAL: Government may jail Americans indefinitely without a trial.
* RIGHT TO LIBERTY: Americans may be jailed without being charged or being able to confront witnesses against them.

Don't be silly. Several posters here on GFY have continuously posted that since they are able to get up, get in their used 1991 car and drive to the grocery store "freely"...then we haven' lost ANY rights and we are FREE!
All that other stuff is just dumb.
Or ask anybody that lives in Eastern Europe. They will tell you that you don't know what losing your freedom is.
We just have to keep giving the Federal Govt. MORE money and MORE power!
Just like those stupid gun owners don't "need" assault weapons...we really don't "need" all those freedoms and rights!
</stupid post by me pointing out in a sarcastic way that YEP Obama is doing everything that a real freedom loving "liberal" is against>
