Does "FREEDOM" mean: free to deceive, manipulate, oppress, blackmail,...

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

,...profit, mangle, steal, threaten, murder, bully, destroy and do all of the foregoing with a smirk knowing you can get away with it?

Is that the "FREEDOM" they are talking about?

1. Freedom when Conservatives speak of it ---freedom to make

or earn your own money, as much as you wish or can without coercian
from government--ie taxes. This is why we have a Republic and
not a democracy. Taxcuts, taxcuts Abolish IRS

[Two Americas]

2. the only freedom

That is the only freedom you have. In fact those are mandatory if you want to be a "winner" and only winners have rights and freedoms.

[TheMadMonk]

3. Ayup. What you can get away with is what you can do. THAT...

...is what the great American ideal of rugged individuality really means.

I ask not how much you love your nation.

I ask how much you as an individual and you as an American are willing to see others suffer for your gain.

[RaleighNCDUer]

4. "Secrecy is the freedom tyrants dream of."

Bill Moyer
