What does George W Bush mean when he talks about "freedom"?

Question

I always thought freedom ment being able to do what you wanted, but in america you can't even have a beer until you're 21. Thats not what I would call freedom. The only country I ever been to that has what I would term freedom is the Netherlands.

Answer 1

He means to steal yours.

Answer 2

He means the freedom to terrorize others by enforcing religious dogma on them.

FYI, the U.S. is about the only non-Muslim country with such a restrictive drinking law. The drinking age in countries in the free world averages 16 to 18.

Not that I wouldn't anticipate absolute chaos if the drinking age were suddenly lowered in this country... the roads aren't safe as it is. But I think we need to start asking ourselves why so many other countries don't seem to NEED such a high drinking age, much less attempt to turn parents into criminals for allowing their children some wine in private.

Answer 3

don't mistake freedom with complete anarchy! Beer and j*ints isn't all freedom. To you as a student maybe yes, but freedom is more than just having fun.
Freedom is the right to speak, the right to have your own opinion, the right to disagree, the right to argue, freedom has more rights than obligations. or so it should be.
I have no idea what freedom says in bush's dictionary, and if it says the same as in mine, he didn't understand the word, and some one should urgently help him.

Answer 4

The freedom of Americans to destroy ancient cultures, pillage the world, detain and kill people at will. This system will undoubtedly go the same way as the Soviet Union so if you have a foreign language option at school, choose Mandarin.

Answer 5

The freedom for people like himself to change the world in the way that suits them best, disregarding the rights and freedom of everybody else.

Answer 6

Nope. i'm especially confident Abe Lincoln has were given him beat palms down for being loved through 1/2 and vilified through the different 1/2 of the country and no one being waiting to quit speaking about him thousands of years later. I see Bush in additional beneficial a similar mild as Pierce. thousands of years later the in worry-free words time you listen his call is even as someone's' doing a record about presidents.

Answer 7

He means as others have said, freedom for the US corporate government to do as it pleases without fear of international reprisal, for US companies to do business where they like without regard to local economics and for the the world to accept its style of democracy and economics as the only option.

Freedom and democracy are words only, actions are what counts.

Chimpanpresident Bush is like a comedy character, says one thing and does another thinking no one noticed. Unfortunately US media is generally so afraid of being dubbed "unpatriotic" that it will not speak out with any force against his anti-democratic and anti-freedom policies and principles.

Us anti-terror laws, a farcical racist justice system and foreign policies that would make any dictator drool with envy have shamed the US turning the world against them. Without their military the US would by now be under trade embargo's and listed with the UN as a "rogue nation".

Answer 8

Let me just get my George-W-Bush-ionary.

Freedomification [noun / verb / any other type of word you care to invent]: the act or the activity of doing exactly America wants. Yee-haw!

Answer 9

The American meaning of "Freedom" is, your free to do what we want you to do when we want you to do it, and as long as your buying it off us.

Answer 10

Good question. I really don't know what he means, like you said you can't drink till you are certain, we allow wire tapping and internet survelliance, limit what you can take on airplane and subject people to taking off their shoes and blets etc and being searched at an airport.

Answer 11

The only thing that Bush wants to be free is money for the rich.
