Final score: Freedom 21 Liberty 7
Bush mentioned freedom 3 times as much as he mentioned liberty. Yes Freedom has trounced liberty for the second bush speech in a row. Better luck next time liberty.

maybe I should have pitted "security" against freedom. Freedom is a juggernaught but he likes security an awful lot as well.

1. So this is pretty damned scary, no?
How about considering the intent of the message?
Security is great until it's messed with. And when that happens, will you still support the blivet? (PS: Look it up.)

6. I got the idea from the Daily Show
Last bush speech, freedom beat liberty 26-19.

4. He's really getting into that Hitler Nationalism thing
"freedom" and "liberty" were hallmarks of Adolf's speeches too. As was stripping citizens of civil liberties for "freedom" and "liberty". As was invading & occupying other nations for "freedom" and "liberty".

To the rest of the world, of course, invasions & occupations and killing and wounding of hundreds of thousands of people doesn't look much like "freedom" or "liberty".
