That is if they can. I am a free American, and I stake my claim to that now.
Interesting thing I learned today, to your point, we must claim freedom, and not liberty. That is hard for me as an American, for I look at Patrick Henry's rousing speech, and have always taken great heart in him saying, "give me liberty, or give me death." I must admit that Patrick Henry was wrong, as he ought to have said, "I am free, and for that I am willing to die to defend it."
The term liberty in English common law implies that you are not free, but must be granted liberty to do what you want. To this day a sailor is required to be granted "liberty" in order to go where he would like when his ship is at harbor according to maritime law. Even paying taxes means that you are not free. That is why if you go to court and admit to pahing taxes, you cannot make a freeman argument. I argue that paying a Federal income tax is unconstitutional. I want liberty from that but it will not be granted, just like you say my speech will be infringed upon. But I have freedom of speech, and again I stake my claim to it now. I am willing to suffer imprisonment, death, public humiliation, what have you in order to be free. Do nothing? I am already set to work.
What would you like from me? What would you like for yourself? Forget the keyboard, though i think you underestimate the power of it, what do you want? Stake your claim and do not give up. Your opponents will fear you if you do.
I am asking you in earnest. What do you want of me? I have never taken drugs or smoked weed. I do not drink. My thoughts are my own. What is your expectation? Are you just a troll or a glowie baiting a proclivity for violence to see if you can? I don't understand your criticisms of my rhetoric.
