Have you noticed that those who always tout Freedom
are the very ones who so ruthlessly want to take it away?

From the left, that is.

Hannity and his "Let Freedom Ring", and "Freedom concerts".

The terrorists "hate freedom".

"They hate us for our freedoms".

Yet when confronted with the left's opinion, they want to stamp out freedom.

Freedom of speech, freedom of thought, freedom of debate.

1. Freedom to be zenophobic is all the wrong wing wants.
They project their hate for freedom on everyone who doesn't share their sociopathology.

2. They have wrapped the flag around themselves so tightly
it is cutting off oxygen to their brains.

3. Big time- yep. It's as Orwell wrote, "to believe that democracy

was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy".

More doublethink from the Big Brother Fan Club.

4. Remember the invasion of Baghdad?
Remember when people were rioting in the streets, and Dub smacked his lips with approval? "That's freedom!" he said. Now Bushco is hauling people away in handcuffs from Bush rallies for wearing John Kerry T-shirts. I guess that's called freedom too. Freedom from pesky dissidents.
