Freedom and Liberty can go fuck themselves

Why is it that the people that constantly bitch and scream about freedom and liberty, are usually the ones who understand it least? Take "Obamacare" for example. People from coast to coast were given the opportunity to weigh in and give their two cents on the new revamped healthcare system. We had townmeetings where everyday folk were able to talk to their duly elected representative face to face. We had protests that sprang up in our nations Capitol, and virtually every state Capitol! Pro and con. For nearly a year we debated, and wrangled, and argued about the best way to implement the new rules. Then, and only then, did our elected officials return to Washington DC and begin to hammer out the details. Back and forth the Houses of Congress went. Months of late nights and toil culminated in a majority vote in favor of the new bill. The President signed the bill into law. Now I know what your thinking. That sounds like the very epitome of American Democracy in action. The very essence of our nation! Orderly, balanced, just. Well, evidently you don't know shit from apple butter, because, guess what? The rightwing noise machine began telling us all that we'd been bamboozled! Rush Limbaugh was furious that people were going to be required to have health insurance! They called it unconstitutional! Nevermind most states require you to have car insurance! Nevermind that banks require insurance on homes! This was "Obamacare"! And all the hairlipped commie bastards that passed it were gonna pay. So the people voted to throw the bums out, and once again our democratic process was renewed. Only this time the right wing talking heads called this "The most significant political shift in American history!" "the people have spoken!" "Freedom and Liberty prevail!" Hold on a minute, you say? Hold on indeed! After the November tenth elections you can bet that the GOP would be gratious in their victory. T
