The GOP is all about freedom. [View all]

That is what they like to say. But when looking at what they say:

The GOP is all about ensuring the freedom of anyone to carry a weapon of death nearly anywhere,
but they say nothing about the freedom to be free from random gun violence.

The GOP is all about ensuring the freedom of big business to pay minimal wages,
but they are opposed to the freedom of workers to form unions.

The GOP is all about ensuring the freedom of billionaires to keep all of their money,
but they are opposed to US citizens freely voting for sensible regulations on business and billionaires.

The GOP is all about ensuring the freedom of a fetus to be carried to term,
but they are opposed to women freely excercising their own Constitutional rights.
