The leftists will use it to take away many of our rights, including the right to travel freely and without permission, the right to own a gun, the right to choose our own living accomodations, and the right to choose our own diet. Remember that we are dealing with idealistic narcissists who believe that only they are educated, intelligent, public spirited, and capable of making good decisions for society. To them, we are nothing more than stupid troglodytes who do not deserve any real liberty since we don't recognize the superiority of the "enlightened left". A pox on them all.
BINGO! You have summed it up quite well...these people are VERY dangerous...they don't "pry it from your cold, dead hands"...they take it all away a little at a time, "for your own good"...and they convince the gullible that its a GOOD thing...
