America is not free.

Since Pro made reference to the “state of Georgia” implies Pro is talking about the US and not the entire continent of America. Con thanks Pro for bringing an important topic to the debating floor. Con is still glad we have the freedom to debate our freedom in America. The US Constitutional configuration of government, is based on a Law in Nature known as life's Unalienable Rights of “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness” (Amendments 5 and 9). The US government objective is to embrace and protect the individual's Unalienable Rights from the crimes of others and from the crimes of government, no more, no less. This small limited government has power over the states, to execute this objective. The state governments are responsible for the rest, competing with each other for the best and brightest to move and enrich their state. http://www.bookdaily.com... http://avalon.law.yale.edu... This form of governance sparked a social experiment within a short period of 200-years, changed the world like no other society in recorded history, through the fruits of technology, food production, and medicine, the stables of human existence throughout the world today. A compelling example of what happens when our Unalienable Rights are free to operate within the awesome machinery of nature.Having the mission to embrace and protect everyone's Unalienable Rights, the US started with a difficult task relative to the cultural reality of the day. Cultural norms do not change overnight, because they are inherently Conservative. Slavery and woman's standing in society were deeply rooted in the culture, including the norms of the ruling-class, for they too reflect the culture of the day. Our founding Fathers knew Unalienable Rights will remove cultural ills, as a result, slavery, the treatment of woman, and today's treatment of gays, etc, in time during the evolution of culture as a function of our Unalienable Rights and the design of Congress, representing the people, and the only branch to make law correcting such cultural ills.Life's Unalienable Rights are the evolution engine of life (Takac). These Rights are also the engine for social evolution, if, and only if, the configuration of governance supports such natural engine at the social level. The US Founding Fathers developed a configuration of government supporting evolution before Darwin came on the stage. Eighty some years later, Darwin's work eventually came to light, where scholars in political science throughout the world at the turn of the last century, adopted a perverted view of evolution known as Social Darwinism. Our founding Fathers viewed the foundation of the rule of law to be stable (Conservative) within a Newtonian context making the structure of our Constitution difficult to change via the Amendment process. During the dynasty of the former President Woodrow Wilson (a leading father of modern progressivism, creator of the IRS, the formation of the League of Nations--aka UN, the Federal Reserve, a desire for “fundamental change,” etc.) was a promoter of the Social Darwinism ideology, advocating little resistance to constitutional structural change, stating the following from his book: http://books.google.com....“Living political constitutions must be Darwinian in structure and in practice.” Wilson, in his book, also took issue with the individual's Unalienable Rights, where he went on to say:“No doubt a great deal of nonsense has been talked about the inalienable rights of the individual, and a great deal that was mere vague sentiment and pleasing speculation has been put forward as fundamental principle.”Clearly, Wilson rejected the foundation of the US Constitution and started a slow cancer known as the “living constitution,” and this cancer, over the last hundred years, is starting to metastasize. Today's Congress represents the lobbyist more than the people, while the President has a “pen and a phone” to make law, and also, the administration branch (a fourth branch not part of the US Constitution's three branches) is made up of hundreds of departments (IRS, Education, NSA, Energy, EPA, etc.). These departments employ hundreds of thousands of government employees, who are not elected, writing regulations having the same power as law, to control, monitor us, etc. Today, the people are essentially out of the loop, except on Election Day, and look what choices we have. It should be no surprise why the US government controlled educational system promote “living constitutional” concepts, to benefit the freedom and growth of government, while reducing the freedom of the people. The indoctrination of progressivism, through our government schools, is a spark of genius from generations of powerbrokers to embrace the progressive ideology, while demeaning Conservatism--the natural desire for the preservation of our Constitutional structure and individual freedom relative to our Unalienable Rights. Unbeknownst to Pro, innocent and unaware of the subtle power of progressive indoctrination illustrated by the title of his debate. A title where Pro has given up on freedom, a freedom he still has. The genius of our Founding Fathers knew the greed of human nature within the ruling-class, may one day create the illusion of a progressive centralized big government promise of utopia. Their wisdom prompt them to include, in the US Constitution, giving the people freedom to gain control over DC without DC's intervention. Close to the eve of celebrating our independence on July 4th, Pro should talk to his Friends and Family about the freedom we have in America (USA). Tell them to pass the word about the following two books that will help deprogram progressive indoctrination from our government schools, awakening to the fact that we have the freedom to make DC dance to our music. http://www.amazon.com...http://www.amazon.com...And in closing, the people today have the freedom of “hope and change” in America, to bring back the US Constitution.
