Freedom as we know it is under attack

Freedom as we know it is under attack, be it freedom of speech or Christian liberties and so much more.Please wake up American citizens. If up do not stand up for something, you will fall for anything.Take time to research your constitutional rights. Did you know that the 4th amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures.
Through the Fourth Amendment, the Constitution protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government. However, the Fourth Amendment is not a guarantee against all searches and seizures, but only those that are deemed unreasonable under the law. 
Or the 8th amendment protects against Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. I would encourage you to search the laws of each state and the constitutional laws as well; it is your choice, your freedom.
Webster’s dictionary defines freedom of speech as “the right to express facts and opinions subject only to reasonable limitations (as the power of the government to protect itself from a clear and present danger) guaranteed by the 1st and 14th amendments to the U.S. Constitution and similar provisions of some state constitutions.” According to this definition, freedom of speech is a right given to the citizens of the United States by law. In that sense, freedom of speech is not a biblical concept but a political one specific to a particular time and place in history.
The founders of the United States believed that humankind has certain “inalienable rights,” including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Thomas Jefferson spoke of these rights as having been endowed to man by his Creator; he called the right to liberty “inherent” and postulated that governments are instituted in order to allow man (the governed) to secure those rights and to pursue his rights freely.
In Jefferson's mind, the liberty and consent of the governed were imperative for governments to be efficient and beneficial. Under that umbrella of privilege falls freedom of speech.
The idea that the Creator has endowed us with the right to liberty is debatable, but God indeed created man with a free will. Adam and Eve had the liberty to partake of any fruit in the garden (except one), and they even had the liberty to disobey. God created man to serve Him, to know Him, and to enjoy Him forever in eternity, so liberty within the bounds of righteousness is certainly a biblical ideal. Christians believe that serving God and enjoying a relationship with Him is the ultimate liberty. The ultimate freedom is found in belonging to Christ (Galatians 5:1; 2 Corinthians 3:17). Sin brings bondage (Romans 7:14), but the one who belongs to Christ is spiritually free (Romans 8:2).
But does that spiritual freedom from sin entail political freedom of speech? Perhaps not directly, but speaking the truth in love is a biblical mandate (Ephesians 4:15). Therefore, any government law that guarantees citizens the right to speak the truth aligns with godly principles. By the same token, any law that suppresses a person’s right to speak truth is working against God’s command. Freedom of speech does not guarantee that truth is told, of course, but it does permit it to be told. In the final analysis, there is no conflict between biblical principles and the civic principle of freedom of speech.The Bible states emphatically in Galatians 5:1 that believers are free in Christ: “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free” (Galatians 5:1).
Before Jesus died on a cross, God’s people lived under a detailed system of laws that served as a moral compass to guide their lives. The Law, while powerless to grant salvation or produce true freedom, nevertheless pointed the way to Jesus Christ (Galatians 3:19–24). Through His sacrificial death, Jesus Christ fulfilled the Law, setting believers free from the law of sin and death. God’s laws are now written in our hearts through the Spirit of God, and we are free to foll
