There's an old story concerning how to cook a frog that goes something like this. If you want to cook a live frog you cannot throw him in a pan of boiling water. His reflexes are so quick that the second his foot touches the water he would jump out and escape. If you want to cook a live frog you place him in a pan of cold water. You gradually increase the heat. By the time the frog realizes what is happening his goose is cooked.
In these United States loss of liberty occurs in a similar fashion. If some outside force was to come into the country, and attempt to remove all our liberties at once we as a nation would resist it at all cost. If however our liberties are slowly removed, gradually decreased before we realize what is happening our goose is cooked.
