Because they have taken freedom for granted and now want to push for rights they don't deserve. People think the government owes them a living but as Kennedy said, "ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." We have too much freedom and no one seems to appreciate it. We think that we "deserve" to walk around with guns, rape children, sue people for no good reason, collect welfare when we are quite able to work and so much more. It has to end somewhere. Nikita Krushef once said that "America will destroy itself," when he was asked by a reporter if Russia had plans to bomb the USA. I think he has a point. Freedom is wonderful so long as we don't abuse it.
