What freedoms have they lost exactly?

Other than having to prove their citizenship at any time when visiting Arizona that is.....
 
Ho-hum. You are being forced to buy a product (health insurance) where have you been? You lost the right to decide what to spend your money on and the right to choose.
 
Freedom to use one's property as one see fit.

Freedom to enjoy the fruits of one's labor in whatever way one deems appropriate

Freedom to use one's body in a manner of one's choosing.

Freedom to follow one's own moral code.

Freedom from being taxed to fund government tyranny.

Freedom from government intrusion .into one's personal life.

And Freedom to be left alone.
 
We have lost the freedom to choose not to support the criminal insurance companies.
 
Interesting that everything noted here was also under the Bush administration and yet they didn't feel deprived then.
 
Freedom to use one's property as one see fit.
--The government does not tell you how to use your property.

Freedom to enjoy the fruits of one's labor in whatever way one deems appropriate
--The government is not telling you how to exercise the fruits of one's labor; it merely taxes people 2% or $90.00 if they choose not to buy health insurance (which is what I assume you're speaking of)

Freedom to use one's body in a manner of one's choosing.
--The government has protected this by upholding Roe V. Wade despite attempts by conservatives to fight and overturn it.

Freedom to follow one's own moral code.
--I don't even know how to begin to tell you this one is wrong.

Freedom from being taxed to fund government tyranny.
--There is no "tyranny" within the United States. Just because you disagree with a position of a person or group of persons does not automatically make him/her/them a tyrant(s).

Freedom from government intrusion .into one's personal life.
And Freedom to be left alone.
-- Since this and the above are the same, the conservatives have done more limiting an individual's "freedom to be left alone" through the Patriot Act than any number of socially progressive programs which have been proposed by the left.
 
They feel that they've lost their freedoms to be uninsured and their freedoms to be selfish capitalists whom care for nothing but the acquisition of more money.

Edit: Sound of silenced2 and Archilles didn't have this problem when Bush was President.

Why? Because they're Republican voters. But they feel threatened when a Democrat takes over--reason for their "protests" over what's been "lost" under Obama.
 
Why did liberals rant about "losing their freedoms" during the Bush years yet
couldn't produce one incident of it actually happening?
 
You need to stop relying on NBC, CBS, and ABC for your biased news, but hey, if it puts you in a happy place go ahead then.
