Ever notice religious theocrat groups like using "liberty" and "freedom?"

[Archae]

Especially in the titles of their groups.

"Liberty University" - The "college" Jerry Falwell founded.

And this group.

Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF, formerly Alliance Defense Fund) is an American conservative Christian nonprofit organization with the stated goal of "defending the right to hear and speak the Truth through strategy, training, funding, and litigation."[1] ADF was founded in 1994 by Bill Bright (founder, Campus Crusade for Christ), Larry Burkett (founder, Crown Financial Ministries), James Dobson (founder, Focus on the Family), D. James Kennedy (founder, Coral Ridge Ministries), Marlin Maddoux (president, International Christian Media), and Donald Wildmon (founder, American Family Association), along with the leadership of over thirty other conservative Christian organizations.[2]

A lawyer for an anti-gay legal group said in a brief filed with a federal appeals court on March 28 that Virginia’s same-sex marriage ban is necessary for the “procreation” of children.

“Redefining marriage harms marriage’s ability to serve those interests by serving marriage’s inherent connection to procreation and communicating that the primary end of marriage laws is to affirm adult desires rather than serve children’s needs, and suppressing the importance of both mothers and fathers to children’s development,” wrote Byron J. Babione of the Alliance Defending Freedom in a brief he filed with the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va., on behalf of Prince William County Circuit Court Clerk Michèle McQuigg.

1. Freedom to obstruct the freedom of others

And having full liberty to determine who exercises liberty and who doesn't. As far as being advocates for broader expression of personal freedom, these people are not remotely libertarian. They are authoritarian in every sense of the word.

2. Rule of thumb...

I live by the credo: "If it has FAMILY, FREEDOM, FAITH ..or..FOX in the title, it's a Teapublican trap. "

4. Same with think tanks or corporations

If you see words like "patriot" "freedom" "enterprise" "liberty" "heritage" in their titles; you know it's a right wing scumbag outfit.

5. And you know they are none of those things.

6. I see "patriot" usually in those far-right militia groups...

The borderline fascist ones.
(Sometimes not so borderline.)

7. Generally they confuse "freedom"

with the concept of owning a gun and paying as little taxes as possible. Neither of these have anything to do with being free.

Owning a gun is not "freedom" any more than owning a microwave oven is "freedom". It is simply owning a gun. Anyone can do it or not do it if they want and can pass the minimal background check. Since passing the background check is simple, owning a gun is no achievement and is all but completely unspectular.

You can be a wage slave to the 1% and own a whole arsenal at the same time, no problem at all. You can buy and carry more and more guns while the 1% bankrupts your schools and consumes your pension fund. The freedom folks think they have is an illusion, one that has been carefully created, marketed and packaged for consumption.

They will distract you with "the abortion industry", "the threat of gay marriage", "socialism", "the communism of teachers unions", and any other shiny object they can dangle. The purpose of the distraction is so you don't notice their hand in your wallet.

They used to call it "bread and circus", it is now called "liberty and freedom".

Nailed it perfectly.
