Rep. John Boner, "We will fight to help America regain it's freedom." 3/23/10

[Botany]

On the President signing the HCR bill into law. (rough quote)

Please John run on that and you can join another famous Ohioan
in getting beat.

1. Sounds more like John Wayne.

[LibertyLover]

8. At least Wayne said after JFK was elected that

while he had not voted for Kennedy, JFK was now his president and he wished JFK well. I doubt the Bonner had the same charitable sentiments when President Obama was elected.

14. JFK was a real war veteran, Wayne only played one on the screen

And yet I'm sure there are right wingers who are convinced that the opposite was the case.

2. Which America is he talking about?

Because if he's talking about us, the Mostly-Republican-controlled government relieved us of freedom, job security, stability and progress bit by bit for four decades.

Something tells me that insta-tan has some serious hallucinogens.

4. He's talking about that America where uppity folks knew their place

and kept to the back of the bus.

Where workers doffed their hats when the boss drove by in his Pierce Arrow.

Where the only regulations on food and drugs were, oh yeah, there were none.

Of course this gives him the benefit of the doubt.

In fact he doesn't beleive in that or anything except getting the Gopukes back in power.

THEN he can work on the above issues.

3. Johnny, bite my freedom fry. nt

[era veteran]

5. John and George, complete pricks.

[COLGATE4]

6. .. and the horse you rode in on, John! (NT)

7. Can I take the liberty to rephrase that?

"We will fight to help wealthy and powerful Americans RETAIN their freedom."

[get the red out]

9. Not quite

"We will fight to help wealthy and powerful white Americans RETAIN their freedom to opress the Hell out of everyone else."

12. Thank you!

I apologize for that glaring omission.

[bridgit]

10. Boner does not understand American Freedoms, *he* needs to start from scratch with the board game...

[get the red out]

11. "Freedom", "Liberty", "Values"

Words that have been completely divorced from their actual meanings by the Republicans to the point that I literally cringe when I hear them.

[SidDithers]

13. Ooompa Looompa Doompadee doo...

15. Freedom to Republicans--free to make and spend your own money

You have no responsiblity to anyone but yourself. This is
why they go into spasms at thought of what they see as
redistribution.

They see this as those with money losing rights because
they will be taxed to give health care to those who do not
have it. They are losing freedom today--to hear them tell it.
