      And wire-tapping, oncarceration-w/o-trial, pro-torture, anti-choice, anti-free speech, anti-gay, anti-atheist, anti-non-christian-fundy, republicans who haven't stopped whining since they lost the election DO?

      Best laugh I've had all day.

      Of course not. That's why he wants a public option that will compete with private healthcare. So you'll have less choice. Plus it will destroy the free market by increasing competition. It's so obvious.

      Sadly, "Freedom" is yet another word that has been co-opted and trivialized by the far right. The average wingnut couldn't even tell you what it means. Way to go, right wing loons...good work.

        I know. You ever notice how the same people on the right who harp on freedom all day long, are the same ones who always tell what rights you DON'T have?

        There's no right to privacy...
        There's no right for a woman to choose whether she carries a pregnancy...
        There's no right to be an atheist...
        There's no right to be non-christian (really)...
        There's no right to a fair trial (apparently)...
        There's no right to be protected from cruel and unnusual punnishment (apparently)...
        There's no right to health care...
        There's no right to marriage, if you're gay anyway...
        There's no right to use recreational intoxicants...
        There's no right to free speech, if you're a student...
        There's no right to free speech, if you're not a corporation (really)...
        There's no right to equality, if you're not a white male...

        Well FREDDOM = RIGHTS, so...

        What excatly ARE we free to do under republican rule? Aside from being free to live exactly as they tell us to, that is?

        "You can't have civil liberties if your dead!"

        Well, under you guys it seems I can't have them if I'm alive either!

          Whenever I hear the word "freedom" I cringe...because I heard it spoken in the shrill Texas twang of George W. Bush about every five minutes during his administration.

          Freedom...! Freedom...! Freedom...!

          It would have made a good drinking game... ;>)

            Yes, I remember all of those people saying "How dare we impose freedom on Iraq!"

            Oh, wait, no I don't. I don't recall anybody saying that.But as long as Davis has "always chuckled" at it, it doesn't need to be reality-based.

            This seems to be an integral part of wingnut hypnosis, demonstrated by the many "lol"s posted by conservatives at this site in response to their complete fabrications or misunderstandings; Finding side-splitting humor in things that only exist in their imagination.

                Ha ha, that's OK. We're echoing, so we're just like Dittoheads !

                Well, not exactly like Dittoheads. We said the same thing, but we each noticed it independently, without having anybody tell us to notice it, and what we said made sense, and didn't require making up any stuff for it to make sense.

                Other than that, though, we're just like dittoheads.

      I don't recall anyone saying "how dare we impose freedom on Iraq." I think that should get some kind of strawman argument award. Funny, though, that this guy seemed to think there was some merit to the idea that freedom is bad for some people!

      I pronounce it "golden", too -- a golden, steaming, pile . . .
