> Our rights that were once protected by the Constitution are slowly being taken away.
Agreed. Screw the NSA!
> We can no longer pray in public
Yes you can. Seriously, go ahead. You can even pray in school if you want --- I've done it, it's fine. Your pastor misunderstood the law; what was banned was mandatory prayer instituted by the school.
> we no longer have free speech to voice our own opinion
You just did. If you do it on TV they may cut off your mic, same with a graduation ceremony or an internet forum, but you can always start your own internet forum and gather for your own ceremonies (getting broadcast spectrum is a bit complicated, but TBN did it).
> making comments about how things were years ago in history is forbidden
Yes you can. Seriously, go ahead.
> history books are being changed to be politically correct in today's view
Sad but true.
> we as a majority can no longer vote on a issue without a judge later ruling that our vote did not count
judicial review did not apprear the day you started paying attention to politics. It's been there since the constitutional convention.
> and people are so afraid to offend non-Christians that songs that were once about Christ's birth are being changed to remove Christ from the lyrics
Father Abraham copied Polly Wally Doodle, not the other way around. Wait, you mean Christmas songs? I don't know of any that have secular and religious versions.
And even if this is happening, I don't think it's being government mandated.
> It is a sad day in America when our rights are no longer honored. Which Constitutional right will be taken away next?
Probably right to privacy? Wait, already happened (screw you NSA!). Right to a trial? If they can call you a terrorist, they can put you away without a trial. Free speech? Makes sense. Contrary to this post, free speech is not yet gone.
