I might be overly cynical, but those people who scream that 'group X' who has a different ideology than them are 'taking away our freedoms' are usually the same people who, if they were allowed to, would take freedoms away from 'group X'. Basically, it seems to me, that they're terrified that 'group X' is trying to do to them what they would do, if they were capable of it.
Example: You have people who scream that Athiests are trying to take away religious freedoms. However, there is currently a Christian attempt to remove a governor from power because it has been discovered that he's an Athiest. Fortunately, in the US, the 1st and 6th amendment prevents this happening, but they're hoping to tie this up in court a long time, thus preventing him from doing his job.
Just something that's made me a bit grumpy today.
What was it? Don't point out the speck in your neighbour's eye, until you've removed the beam from your own?
Basically, any group who is overly paranoid about such things are probably the same people who would do that sort of thing. If they weren't the sort to do it, it most likely would'nt even come to mind. Sort of a 'I have to stab you in the back, before you stab me in the back' sort of thing. Why would the guy stab you in the back, because that's what you would do if you were in their situation. So obviously that must be what they're thinking!
