Bush's abuse of the word "freedom"

Edited on Thu Jan-27-05 06:24 PM by FDRLincoln

Freedom? Freedom?

That is worship word. Yang worship. Bush will not speak it!!!

I absolutely hate how Bush and his goons have twisted and perverted the word freedom. His tongue should turn to fire every time he speaks it. Scumbag torturer.

It is against my spiritual beliefs to hate people. But I have to admit that I hate Bush. I hate what he has done to our country, to our words...."Freedom"...."Liberty"...."Democracy"...."Justice". He has turned them all on their head.

Sorry. Need to vent.

2. Condi abused "Freedom" and "Liberty" in her speech this morning

upon arrival at the State Department. I guess those are their official new "catch phrases". Holy hell.

3. * uses the word freedom like a pimp uses the word bitch

just another tool for him to slap around.

And since he always means the exact opposite of what he says, well, freedom actually means slavery. Liberty means oppression. War is peace, black is white, the list goes on and on.

Vent anytime. You're among friends. :hi:

4. It is no longer "freedom." Now, it's "freedom™."

Unfortunately, it has undergone neocon-transmemefication.

5. I'm "looking forward" to more!

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/01/20050126-3.html

He used "looking forward" 14 times and "look forward" 12 times in that silly Press Conference yesterday. Someone had a spoof of it.

For such a backward person he sure like using the word forward.

8. Did you see the www.dubyaspeak.com page?

It is hilarious. They have highlighted each use of "freedom" in one section of *'s inaugural address.
