Am I the only one who thinks |

that the word "Freedom" is just a bit overused. I don't know how many times Sarah Palin used that word in the debate, but every time she used it I thought I was going to be sick. Does she mean that every citizen in the US has the "freedom" not to be treated if (God forbid) they come down with some illness and have no medical coverage.
Is "freedom" just another word when there's nothing else to say? What ever happened to 'FREEDOM FRIES"?
Also, I thought that in a debate you had to answer the questions that were asked, not to make up your own questions, then give the answers.

2. No your not the only one. I noticed it too and to me it's the way |

she used it that bugged me. Freedom in the right context is a wonderful word, but she was throwing it around in a whole different way.

6. That's what makes me sick..it used to be "our freedom" ; now it's "our freedoms". |
|
There's just something wrong about that. It seems they are mixing up "rights" with "freedom".
