Today I was thinking about a puzzle and the word "liberty" and what it truly means. Liberty as defined by American Heritage:
a. The condition of being free from restriction or control.
b. The right and power to act, believe, or express oneself in a manner of one's own choosing.
c. The condition of being physically and legally free from confinement, servitude, or forced labor.
d. Freedom from unjust or undue governmental control.
e. A right or immunity to engage in certain actions without control or interference.
Yup, that's what true liberty means. Think about it, and I mean seriously think about it. So, now, I ask you are Americans really experiencing true liberty?
Democrats are still being threatened. Smh! Having a passion for country and all is cool, but some folks take it to a dangerous extreme. That's not good for this country, but then I told y'all folks don't let those Republicans get back in or it would be all bad. Do you hear me now?

Granny your post this morning reminds me of the Verizon's commerical,where the guy ask at the end of it"do ya hear me now".
LOL!
Back when I was an innocent little kid I used wonder about things like that. All those words like "freedom" and "liberty" were perplexing to me in light of what the gov't forced people to do.
Bsck then they would force you to join the military so you could fight for freedom.
Granny why are you so critical of Republicans? but you NEVER criticize the Dems. This unfair treatment of GOP must stop. It is very un-American.
"I told y'all folks don't let those Republicans get back in or it would be all bad. Do you hear me now?"
Yes we hear you but it's a little late, don't you think? Why didn't you tell us before? Some of us might have gone to vote, but you just didn't speak loud enough.

Lawd, i remember when granny was so happy and feelin like an american when obama was elected. now she doesn't feel so free. she thinks obama has tricked us like everybody else always does. it always hurts when one of us tricks us, but i can't think of a time when blacks haven't ripped us off. why do we always fall for those tricks from our own people? i guess we just don't understand people and we sure don't know politics even though that's all we talk about. it's tough being black.
Got to love these liberal-hating, freedom-loving Repubs. They say they stand for small government, but spend their time re-litigating the culture war, redefining rape, and coming between a doctor-patient decision on matters of women health issues.
Bush creates a deleterious federal deficit with his tax breaks for the uber-rich, and Scott Walker does the same, by cutting taxes for Wisconsin business.
In both instances, the tax shortages benefit the rich and penalizes the poor and the middle class, and becomes the raison d'etre to bail out Big Bank, for Bush's part, and crush unions, for Walker's part.
A transfer of wealth is taking place in this country, to be sure, a kind of reverse socialism; a kind of reverse Robin Hood, where money is taken from the middle class and given to the rich.
And these Oath Keepers believe that Obama is the enemy? They're stocking up on weapons and provisions to fight a government run by liberals who want to take their freedom.
They've already lost their freedom: Corporations, backed by Republican policies, and a Supreme court of enablers, have already stripped them of their liberties, but they're fooled into believing otherwise.
Glenn Beck, et al, are being paid to keep these fools distracted, and focused on everyone and everything but the real enemy.
Birthers, Truthers, 912ers--give me a break. All these weekend warriors are nothing more than useful idiots.
Diaspora:
"They've already lost their freedom: Corporations, backed by Republican policies, and a Supreme court of enablers, have already stripped them of their liberties, but they're fooled into believing otherwise."
That is so true! Look what they've done to state universities. Already, they've been infilitrated by corporations and wealthy private owners. Marketing advertisements and businesses are popping up all over universitites now. Give it one or two more years and all of them will only be admitting the wealthy only while turning the underprivilege and middleclass folks away.
Reagan and Bush were the worst presidents to happen to this country because they destroyed those freedoms little by little and bit by bit. Those "Oath Keepers" are to blind to see it, but they will when it's too late and they wake up in realize that America has been transformed into Serfdom America.
"Reagan and Bush were the worst presidents to happen to this country because they destroyed those freedoms little by little and bit by bit."
that's a matter of opinion, but it is not a fact. u liberals are really something. smh
