    Gee, let's see. How about the right to choose our own health care ( if Obama had it his way he would destroy all private ins. companies, he supports single payer ), how about the right to express opinions(when Obama was first signed into office he stated over and over not to listen to Beck, Hannity, or Rushbo....wouldn't that be up to the viewer?). How about the right to ask questions and demand the truth( reporters at Copenhagen were shut down and forced to leave when asking any questions about the lies that have surfaced).How about the right to be heard,( people demonstrate their anger at rallies and they get labeled as teabaggers). How about our Inalienable Rights, God himself bestowed our rights and liberties upon us, this government wants to create our rights as if they were God, they want to make everybody equal, share the wealth.

    according to merriam-webster
    value-
    Pronunciation: \ˈval-(ˌ)yü\
    Function: noun
    Etymology: Middle English, worth, high quality, from Anglo-French, from Vulgar Latin *valuta, from feminine of *valutus, past participle of Latin valēre to be of worth, be strong — more at wield
    Date: 14th century
    1 : a fair return or equivalent in goods, services, or money for something exchanged
    2 : the monetary worth of something : market price
    3 : relative worth, utility, or importance <a good value at the price> <the value of base stealing in baseball> <had nothing of value to say>
    4 : a numerical quantity that is assigned or is determined by calculation or measurement <let x take on positive values> <a value for the age of the earth>
    5 : the relative duration of a musical note
    6 a : relative lightness or darkness of a color : luminosity b : the relation of one part in a picture to another with respect to lightness and darkness
    7 : something (as a principle or quality) intrinsically valuable or desirable <sought material values instead of human values — W. H. Jones>

    according to this definition, #7 is the only one that applies to this discussion and the things you listed may be intrinsically valuable or desirable to YOU, but may not be for ALL of america. its a much more difficult question than you might think, but i appreciate your efforts. IMO the things you list are more ideals and rights rather than "values of america"....

    1st president ever to spend over 700 billion for "defense" funding. Next year is projected to be $708 billion, which means it will probably be close to $800 billion.

    Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
    Everything not forbidden is compulsory and eveything not compulsory is forbidden. You are free... free to do what the government says you can do.

    i wonder if they have fixed all the holes? before 9/11 Rumsfeld admitted trillions were unaccounted from the defense budget over the years, they were supposed to start a thorough investigation but then 9/11 happened and it was forgotten about

    what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

    "I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." - Barack Obama

    when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
    i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'
