Someone Missed The Bush Administration

My bold--Reform Care, Not Freedom | TheLedger.com: "We have lost part of our freedom, an event that has not happened in our lifetime. Last month, the Democrats in Congress, at the insistence of the Obama administration, passed a Health Care Reform Bill that will deprive us of the freedom of choice when it comes to health care..."

Really? How about searching without warrants? How about arrest and incarceration without warrant or trial? How about that Patriot Act? Now, that's what a real loss of freedom looks like. How about the Second Prohibition-- the one against pot et.al. ? How about the draft of the 60's and 80's? The health care reforms to me simply represent more taxes, a power the government obviously has. So if a loss of freedom is what you are howling about, how about screaming about a freedom that really matters-- like having an unmonitored telephone conversation?
