Bush says "Freedom" is a 2nd term goal...
But what are the Freedoms Bush has been talking about? The GF appointed subcommittee on Freedoms we don't like has come up with this list:

1. The "freedom" not to marry the person you love.
2. The "freedom" to have other people's beliefs thrust on you.
3. The "freedom" to be lied to on a regular basis.
4. The "freedom" to be imprisoned without due course of the law.
5. The "freedom" to be arrested because of how you look.
6. The "freedom" to be tortured after said imprisoning.
7. The "freedom" to get a tax break, but only if you're ultra rich.
8. The "freedom" not to have your elected official win, even if the majority vote for him/her.
9. The "freedom" to live in a horribly polluted world.
10. The "freedom" to unquestionably follow King... er, President Bush.

1. Don't you understand. Since they hate us for our freedoms
the easiest way to keep us safer is to take away our freedoms

3. These don't take away our freedoms...
They all give us the freedom to not have something. That's still freedom.

4. So he's going to propose repealing the Patriot Act?
That would restore a few freedoms.
