Anyone notice something about the word, "Liberty?"

[Archae]

Organizations like Jerry Falwell's religious right groups and college, or people like Ted Cruz, these people who want so badly to stop others from having liberty, keep preaching liberty or naming their groups with "liberty" in it.

1. Word. nt

[Permanut]

2. Also "freedom".

You can't listen for five minutes to any wingnut radio show without hearing at least one of these words.

3. They want the freedom and liberty to tell you what to do!

Many of them are actually very childish - they just think about themselves, and never even try to walk just a few steps in someone else's shoes.

4. During New coming student orientation

at Liberty U., Falwell would say this place is to the Right as Harvard "is to the Left." (Which sounds like a disingenuous comparison. ) and there are "no 'Socialists' here." In the same student orientation speech, he would joke in a deadpan fashion that the punishment for a male student walking into a girl's dorm building was to "shoot 'em".

I wonder if Jerry Falwell was the type of Conservative that would express his contempt for the Soviet Union, but was secretly envious of it's police state.

The name of his school seemed like it was meant for his ministry that helped people recover from alcoholism, but for some reason was misapplied to a place where he obliged religious parents with an authoritarian status quo.

5. If you rearrange the letters, "Liberty" spells "Woooka-jumba-BOO-wa!"

Well, not really, but "Woooka-jumba-BOO-wa!" is a fun thing to say, especially if you're really drunk.

6. Don't forget "Family". Another dead give-away.
