2. The terms liberty and freedom were hijacked after 9/11.

We had Freedom Fries. The fried potato pieces created by a chef named French, who now has to change his last name to match the stupidity of members of the "Grand" Old Party.

Then the teabillies who wanted gubbamint to keep their hands offa their Medicare and rejected the idea that 114 American lives per day would be saved with the ACA--would use those terms on comically misspelled protest signs.

Now we come to one of our darkest times in our history, and the misunderstood concepts are flying around once more.

Our Founding Fathers are probably thinking they should have just let George II keep the place as it was.
