If I hear "freedom isn't free" one more time

I'm going to go insane.

You must resist. You must not let the terrorists win. :D

Love,

Candyman Karl Rove

:P

Damn freedom riders!

;)

there's no point, is there?

May as well cure diseases by killing all the patients. And where's the profit in that?

If ever anything should be free, it's freedom. The only reason it's not is that rich and powerful men need it as an excuse to send other people's children off to die in wars that make them richer and more powerful. If these criminals really cared about freedom, they'd use their wealth and power and their vast network of spooks to get rid of (other) non-freedom-loving dictators before they become a problem, instead of financing and arming and propping them up until it becomes more profitable to take them out in the name of freedom.

I think listening to that might be a good antidote for waht ails ya. I'll see if I cna find the link again.

I used to ahve a better one that had tons of protest music on it, but when I changed CPUs I lost it.

So you, you can’t live in peace so why, why should we.
War mongering everyday, it costs us to be free.
Living under clouds of hate that control our destiny.
I won’t follow your rules of hate cause I’m fighting to be free.

I won’t pay for liberty, I think it should be free.
You always want to take so much, but you won’t be taking me.
You won’t be taking me.

Are you gunna stand in line waiting for the time
waiting till your numbers up but you won’t be hearing mine
‘Cause I won't be a fool for you there’s no way I’m happy to
‘cause I know what your gunna tell me to do.

I won’t pay for liberty, I think it should be free.
You always want to take so much, but you won’t be taking me.
You won’t be taking me.

I won’t pay for liberty, I think it should be free.
You always want to take so much, but you won’t be taking me.
You won’t be taking me.

I won’t pay for liberty, I think it should be free.

now that Saddam is out of power, people here in Texas can worship whatever God they want. I hadn't been able to go to Catholic mass since '59 and now I can. I can speak freely about the government(except of course when it hurts the troops), and I can gather peacefully to protest policies and other things that I disagree with(except when people driving cars can see me, because that might distract them and cause wrecks) And I owe it all to my countryman's sacrifices in Iraq! How can people honestly believe this line of reasoning? I guess you can chalk it up to a catchy slogan repeated til it is just accepted.

" Sure it is shoot under bush for the first time in history
we actually get a tax cut durring wartime"

"Where is the sacrafice from the rest of America while
our Soldiers Need Body Armor ?"

"It's about to be 120 degrees in Iraq , last summer
out soldiers only got 2 liters of water a day , and 1
MRE to eat."

"Our tax Dollars are going to pay private Mercenaries
at the cost of 30,000 dollars a month per."

"Just What have you sacrificed for our Soldiers Sir?
Enjoy your Tax Cut "

:grr: "Why don't you support out troops and get your
head out of bush's butt?"

"Just What have you sacrificed for our Soldiers Sir?"

Yeah, really. What price are the morans who use the phrase paying. Unfortunately, I probably won't have much chance to ask since most of the "freedom isn't free" crap I see is on Church signs.

And I had all the water and MRE's I needed (and then some - MRE's get old quick, thank God for Iraqi kabobs) and no, I was not in the "rear with the gear" either.

I also had an Interceptor vest with ballistic plate, although not everyone had it.

I'm so glad you did have all the water you needed .

The soldiers near the palaces and supply lines did
have mostly what they needed , but not everyone did .

Thanks again

It was endowed to us by our Creator. (So said some very wise men.)

Yet another example of how conservative Republicans use exactly the same tactics in their use of propaganda as the Stalinists did, even if not the same rhetoric or ideology.

The Enlightenment thinkers and the Founding Fathers believed that freedom is not something any pays for, whether with their life or with something else, but it is something that is a fundamental human right. It is given by God (according to them) and is not guaranteed by armies or governments, but forever threatened by them.

So if someone says freedom isn't free, tell them that they are wrong.

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

As if people deliberately choose to fail; that it's always a matter of choice.

only when they start talking about how women's suffrage, labor unions, worker protections, environmental regulations, etc. are part of what they call "freedom". THAT'S the stuff that isn't free. Every single one of those rights was fought for, largely by people we'll never remember and who never appear in the history books.

Lives, or at the Cross. (for Christian believers).Somebody paid.
Freedom is not free. Watch Iron Jawed Angels, (suffrage movement)
The Civil Rights MOvement, The Stand off at Wounded Knee. When one is willing to take the heat and pay a price for dissent or a dream, then somebody pays for that equality. Freedom ..We are not free now. But we are more free than some. We are less free than others. But ALWAYS..some people pays the price.

As far as soldiers. There is a difference the warior and the war. The men and women who fight the battles don't choose their battles and the ones who plan war, do not fight them. Lies, propoganda, whatever, there has to be some sort of military even as if in Canada so we don't get blown away from people that maybe we don't even know about. There will always be war and I am not for it. War never settled anything and at the end of the day it always comes down to the negotiationg table. But someone had to pay a price for bad decisions that usually start..NO..scratch that. THAT ALWAYS COME FROM THE TOP.
My husband pays daily for the lies and propoganda in Vietnam. He didn't have a choice. He didn't choose his battles and he will never be free of the guilt and trauma of that war but Freedom is supposed to be free but so is equality.

that I've seen in my lifetime. :grr:

Nothin' left to lose.
And nothin' aint worth nothin'
If it aint free.
Feelin' good was freedom, Lord
When Bobbie sang the blues
And feelin' good was good enough for me,
Good enough for me and my Bobbie McGee!
