In light of the nominations of Abu Gonzales and Ms. Integrity of Ill Repute, this article has it about right. Preznit Snot Licker loves to talk about liberty...the liberty to rape the environment, destroy Social Security, ruin our international standing for generations to come. All while denying that he's responsible for anything....but with all his talk about "liberty", he never, ever mentions Human Rights. Because that would mean that he understands reality and responsibility...two words he never learned.

Like the rights of ordinary Americans to live out the dream of the Founding Fathers, free from the fear of State Oppression and the impending New American Theocracy. Like the rights of Gays to live their lives, as they see fit and with whom they see fit. Like the rights of Muslims and other immigrants in America, who have come here seeking the promise of Lady Liberty, and not too be reviled for who they are, by the right-wing fanatics 99.9% of whose ancestors probably left their native countries one step ahead of the law, crippling poverty or persecution to settle here and now feel entitled to tell these hopeful immigrants that they are less than human for wanting to earn their spot in America.

Yeah, when your Liberty is provided by the toils and hardships of generations gone by, and your perspective is that you are owed everything for contributing nothing, then liberty is just cheap word to be used like a two-dollar hooker or Condi Rice, whichever is more convenient.
