America is such a wonderfully free country that I thoroughly understand
why the Bush administration, like the
Clinton administration before it,
is so eager to take our freedoms and spread them across the
globe.
Without the U.S government, backwards peoples will have to labor on
in their own delusions, never understanding
what true liberty is all about.
I am so free. If I want to paint my house, or build a deck out back,
or install a new air-conditioning system, I am free to call the
building inspector and get his approval first. If I want to put a new
toilet in the bathroom, I am free to buy only the low-flow toilets the government approves
I am free to buy a property near the beach, provided the government
Coastal Commission approves whatever I want to do with that property.
That approval might take decades, and the final thing that I build will
be what the commissioners want there, not what I want, but I am free
nonetheless. I know I am free because this is America. And America is a
free country - the best one in the whole darned world. If you don't
like our freedoms, you should move somewhere else.
Any other questions?
Unlike those pathetic souls in other less-free and non-free countries,
I am free to open my own business, provided I pay my employees the
minimum salary demanded by the government, and give them overtime in
the exact proportion stated by the government, and offer them breaks
that conform exactly to the standards set by government. I can operate
my business in complete freedom, provided that I meet every one of the
hundreds of pages of air-quality standards promulgated by the state and
federal governments.
