Of course not.
Here are some examples:
The courts are decreeing radical changes to our rights and culture, and redefining personal and societal behavior
In the very recent past (a partial list):
?Campaign Finance Reform?: You, citizen, may not run ads for or against a political candidate or issue unless those already in power say it is o.k. for you to do so. You may not contribute to a political party unless it is in a manner and amount approved by those already in power.
Personal Beliefs (if you are a Boy Scout): Every group of citizens has an equal right to use public land and to enter into contracts, unless members of your group have personal religious beliefs not approved of by a judge. There is no need to demonstrate that anyone is harmed by your group using a campground; it is enough to suggest that some members possess politically incorrect religious beliefs.
Marriage: The institution of marriage no longer has any particular meaning.
Words: In one jurisdiction, you could not say the entire Pledge of Allegiance in any public place. We note that the Supreme Court has since given the words under God a reprieve, but did not settle the issue. We can expect another court to ban the Pledge before long.
Higher education: If you work hard and follow all the rules and meet all the requirements to obtain a publicly-funded scholarship, but wish to study spiritual things in college, you are forbidden to take advantage of the scholarship you have earned.
Rights of the disabled: If you cannot speak for yourself and are injured, government is not permitted to make a distinction between your right to die and a supposed right of your husband to starve you to death.
