Freedom is on the march! Backwards!

[pdxmom]

This is one of those little slogans the conservatives love to overuse. "Freedom is on the march". I believe that we need to point out, loudly and often, how this is in direct contrast to what they are advocating and doing here in the US of A.

Think of some of the things that they have done or want to do to limit our liberties and freedoms:

1. Repeal abortion rights.
2. Wiretapping.
3. Holding prisoners without any right to trial or attorneys.
4. Jailing and threatening the media to control what is reported.
5. Protest zones.
6. Snooping in our libraries.
7. Spying on protesters.
8. Flag burning amendment.
9. Gay marriage ban

I'm sure this is just a start, and that we can come up with many more. But it's obvious that this conservative control is taking our freedoms away from us, not upholding them or advancing them. This needs to be a rallying cry. Every time Bushco says that "Freedom is on the march", we need to respond with the truth.
