    FREEEEEEEEEEEEEDOM!

     

    Dammit, I want my country back. I want my freedom-loving, free country with its free people fighting for their freedom back. Now. Because Paul Revere loved FREEDOM. And also, Martin Luther King. Because he was free. Well, once he got out of jail he was. FREEDOM!! Freedom is important and we should all fight against those people who want to take away our freedom. In fact, I'm going to go out and protest against people who hate freedom. Just as soon as check a few things off of my to-do list. For instance, I have to buy a gun on the internet. Then, I have to write a letter that will most likely be published in my local newspaper about why I will go all REVOLUTIONARY on anybody who hates my freedom. Then, I have to go outside. It's dangerous outside. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN!! There are so many people who want to take away my freedom that I have to be CONSTANTLY VIGILANT as I walk to my car. Somebody might stop me, for example, to say "Good Morning." Bastard. What if I'm not having a good morning? STOP TAKING AWAY MY FREEDOM TO HAVE A BAD MORNING. Once I finally get to my car, I have to drive on the streets paid for with tax dollars. Fucking taxes. More government taking away my freedom. And what's with all the other cars? They should get out of my way because I'm very important and I have important places to go and those other drivers are in the way of my FREEDOM. Why do other drivers hate America? And don't even get me started on those fascist pedestrians--buy a car you hippie assholes. This is AMERICA where we buy big cars because we love FREEDOM. Speaking of America and freedom, immigrants get the fuck out. This is my free country, not yours. RONALD REAGAN!! I love the smell of freedom in the morning. Because I am a PATRIOT! And I want my country back. FREEDOM! Why did those anti-American, freedom-hating bastards get in government anyhow? I know why. Because Acorn hates my freedom. I know what to do about Acorn. Cut down all the trees. BECAUSE TREES HATE FREEDOM. With all the wood, I can make sign posts for all the signs I'm going to put around so that everyboy will know how much I love FREEDOM! That's what freedom fighters do. We make FREEDOM SIGNS out of trees that will never grow another acorn again. Hah. And all you anti-freedom fascists can suck it. Get out of my way and get out of my country. Go live in Canada if you love your anti-freedom, socialist medicine so much. THOMAS JEFFERSON! NATHAN HALE! PATRICK HENRY! FREEEEEEEEEEEDOM!

    O, this reminds me somewhat of an infamous Internet post, although I think you're tapping into a slightly different part of the American psyche here.


    That's a fantastic post. I wish I could have it tatooed on every person who tells me we need smaller government.


    I hereby approve of this blog post, Allah be praised.


    High praise from the Satire King. Here's a tip though: Allah hates your FREEDOM.


    A few weeks ago, as I was biking in Philly with my nephew in the baby seat, a driver who had been forced to slow down before passing me, yelled out his window, "Hey buddy, buy a car!"

    No joke.


    I guess the popular notion of FREEDOM doesn't include the FREEDOM to ride a bicycle.


    Good morning, Orlando.


    You are so obviously not a PATRIOT! Foreigner. GIMME MY FREEEEDOM!

    This is one of my favorite pics.  It's a statue of William Wallace that's been caged to "protect it from vandalism."  Yeah, right!  It's just a way for those smarmy Brits to post-humously curtail his FREEEEEDOM!!!


    OMG. Can we put a cage around Michele Bachmann? We'll tell her it's for her own good because the liberals are out to get her. Pure genius.
