A Rose by any Other Name

America, the land of the free, the home of the brave… life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness… blah, blah, blah – What do these words mean?

In the English language, they have definitions, and when used in the construction of sentences they mean something… but in this bizarro world they have become trademarks and brands. When Freedom™ is branded to whatever fascist, pseudo-socialist state we have here today - the definition of Freedom™ becomes perverted.

Shakespeare wrote, “That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet” – and freedom (actual freedom) does “smell as sweet”, no matter what the pop culture say. The problem is that Freedom™ has come to represent something completely different from the “rose” for which our forefathers fought. Matter of fact, by branding this fascist society with Freedom™ and Liberty™, we have, by implication, branded the actions and principles of our forefathers with Terrorism™ and Evil.

We are told by the King that “The terrorists hate us because we are free.” Then we are told that we must give up some freedom to remain safe from the terrorists. So, by showing your papers at the checkpoint, you are protecting Freedom™ and Liberty™. To hell with the actual definitions of freedom and liberty, and to hell with the spirit of “give me liberty or give me death” – just let me do my part to protect Freedom™ by submitting to a random anal-cavity search at the airport. Land of the free and the home of the brave, indeed!

America – turn off the TV. Stop the bombardment of propaganda that perverts your reality. Perceive reality without the Fascist Media Filters™ and see the truth. Then speak the truth to others, and the truth shall set us free¹.

If you don’t follow my logic – then ponder on how using our Kids as police to raid family homes in Iraq – without due process is “spreading liberty.” If that doesn’t shake something loose in your head… email me directly and I’ll help you see out.

¹Free as in the true definition of the word – no relation to Freedom™ as a brand wholly owned by the GOP Christian Death Cult™
