| I'll take a shot at this question; although I can't claim to be "inbred".
|
| This administration has repeatedly asked Americans to give up a degree of
| freedom in exchange for a degree of safety.
|
| I say that as diplomatically as possible, without mentioning how much
| freedom, and the degree of increased safety.
|
| To now throw this "America supports your Freedom" parade at us smacks of
| Orwellian double-speak.
|
| What's next: renaming the DoD the Ministry of Peace?
|
| They should rename the Parade: "The America will be Watching You Closely,
| Invading your Home, and Randomly Checking your Possessions, In order To
| (Hopefully) Prevent Further Terrorist Action on our Soil Parade".
|
| A bit long-winded, but 100% more accurate.
