Not completely true. We still support allowing individual freedom to choose whether to use recreational drugs or not, to remain free from religious rhetoric, and to have whatever sexual relations is agreeable with one's partner. However, as time has progressed past the time of "rugged individualism" into the modern era of social responsibility, freedom and liberty must be sacrificed to the greater good.

Universal healthcare, environmental controls, energy conservation, housing needs, and fair dispersement of wealth all require sacrifice of freedoms, but are employed for the good of the masses. How much "freedom" do you think you actually have?

Democrats recognize that things have grown much too important to be left up to the whims of individuals. Get over it.
