Free Society Discussion on Facebook

My son posted the following on his Facebook page:

Honesty: my definition of a free society, is a society where it is safe to be unpopular.

My response:

Unfortunately, we are quickly and definitively becoming a non-free society because it is NOT safe to be unpopular in America. Daily, the unpopular because of religion, sexual orientation, criminal record, race or ethnic background, are assaulted, discriminated against and even murdered. I fear for our Republic as more and more we lose the rights and freedoms given by God and the US Constitution.
