Ever notice that those who make the most noise about protecting American freedoms, in reality seem to be more concerned with governmental restrictions on freedom. For example, some liberal bureaucrats in New York City on the one hand want the firefighters to risk their lives putting out fires and saving lives, and on the other hand, want to control even the minor details of a firefighter’s everyday life.
According to Reuters, NYC firefighters have been issued a directive from above to remove American flags, American flag stickers, refrences to firefighters who died on 9/11, etc., etc., etc. The Uniformed Firefighters Association is threatening to sue the city on the grounds that the free speech rights of the firefighters have been violated.
In Europe, the noose around the neck of individual freedom has been tightening for some time, with socialist bureaucrats dictating more and more of the details of everyday life while everyday people shrug their shoulders in apathy. Here in America, meddling bureaucrats don’t have such an easy time of it.
Americans thankfully seem to be much better than our friends in Europe at smelling when something’s rotten and are certaily much better at fighting back.
The sure sign
