This is perfect example how I like nothing better than people waving flags of foreign countries in front of my face and lecturing me about my freedom.Quote:

You see, some, mostly ignorantes or people who never refelct for more than maybe max 1 second on anything, never really think about the idea of "freedom" and just bark and wail about it----often in a mildly aggressive and hint of aggressive tone..
But just like the idjits who while smacking their chewing gum say in the most grating voice "I expect quality ___________(car, burger, loo paper,whatever) " with thinking the word quality is useless without a modifier like "high" or "good", so wail and growl some about "Freedom" without a seconds reflection, or anything to measure it against...
Indeed, despite the troublesome thoughts that there is "Freedom from......." and "freedom to.....", effectively the word in USA has become a trademark, a code word, and the use is usually without any thought at all.....its all "implied".....presumably..
So you should be happy all those nice foreigners are kind enough to take the time to help give you some depth and something to compare your idea with their idea.. :love:

You have something against any that stuff?
It is progressive politics that built this country and made the widespread mass middle class so big.
And as long as this country followed Progressive policies, the middle class was secure---and grew.
You have something against a secure life for the majority of the country?
That's why Obama is so disappointing, because he is far far to the right of what the policies of even moderate Republicans were a generation ago just to get his policy proposals stonewalled by so called Conservatives..people evidently like you..
Why do you hate America?

I bid you a good day.
Rolling Stone is a credible source.
I prefer the Beatles :angel: . . . . . and yes, the magazine is a credible responsible source.Quote:
