Abusing the greatest freedom in the Bill of Rights

     At lunch, couple co-workers and I were talking. In time, the conversation went to politics and how our rights are being stripped away slowly.
     One thing we all agreed upon; they have to move slowly. If they outright banned free speech or the right to keep and bear arms--any politicians and bureaucrats involved with the rape of our rights would be swinging from a lamppost pretty fast.
     Then one of the "new guys" said there was a freedom in the Bill of Rights that was NOT written down.
     The freedom NOT to, or partially exercise your rights.
     If a person wants to keep their head in the sand and let Obama step forward behind them...that's their right to be stupid. If a person wants to read and be "awake," that's their right.
     The Bill of Rights tells us what rights are given to the government, what rights belong to the state and what rights belong to the people.
     But yet it does not say you MUST exercise those rights.
     Therefore millions of people go glassy-eyed and slack jawed at the thought of having to vote. Millions decide they don't want to own a firearm. The list goes on.
     The politicians, particularly Democrats and the "Rinos" (Republicans In Name Only) feel the need to remove a couple of those rights to better subjugate lead and govern the people.
     Political freedom can be compared to muscles. If you don't use them, you lose them. And that is the greatest abuse of the Bill of Rights.
