Freedom Isn't Free?
does anyone have any witty one line or soundbite type responses to this. Truly, I hate speaking in blurbs, however, it seems to be all that some folks understand.

1. So why do repubs hate paying their dues for freedom?
Since they hate taxes so much?

2. If the domestic war on terror costs you your freedom... it ain't worth
the rhetoric and spin it was founded on.

3. "Of course not..."
"But why treat it like you can pick it up cheap from a street vendor or convenience store?"

4. True: The price of freedom is eternal vigilance
And now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the country.

5. Yeah, I've got one. "When are you shipping out?".

They're never planning to go themselves. Freedom may not be free, but apparently it is at least subsidized.

6. Well, that point is true...
.. the phrase may be misused, but freedom indeed is not free. Never underestimate the tendency for mankind to try and control the lives and destiny of his fellow man, sticking his nose where it doesn't belong.
