What is with the Cons overusing the word "choice"? |
|
We hear this all over Freeper land. Privatization gives us more "choices." Pollution standards on W. Coast cars limits customer "choices." Anything the Cons want to push they find a way to use "choice." Obviously some RW thinktank came up with this versatile little word. What is it a euphemism for?

1. We all have freedom of choice! |
|
A victim of collision on the open sea Nobody ever said that life was free Sank, swam, go down with the ship But use your freedom of choice
I’ll say it again in the land of the free Use your freedom of choice Your freedom of choice
In ancient rome there was a poem About a dog who found two bones He picked at one He licked the other He went in circles He dropped dead
Freedom of choice Is what you got Freedom of choice!
Then if you got it you don’t want it Seems to be the rule of thumb Don’t be tricked by what you see You got two ways to go
I’ll say it again in the land of the free Use your freedom of choice Freedom of choice
Freedom of choice Is what you got Freedom of choice!
In ancient rome There was a poem About a dog Who found two bones He picked at one He licked the other He went in circles He dropped dead
Freedom of choice Is what you got Freedom from choice Is what you want (repeat)

3. to undermine "pro-choice" |
|
the usual argument is "if you're so pro-choice, then why not a, b and/or c."
