Regarding Mike Morgan’s letter about taking back freedoms lost to progressives (“Going back to America in the 1950s wouldn’t be a regression,” Dec. 19): Can he or others of his ilk identify exactly which freedoms have been lost? Specifically, those lost in the last eight years. Perhaps I’m not as free as I think I am.
