What do we want? Freedom!

When do we want it? When it’s ok with the police!
Mr Howard, to his cheer squad at the Sydney Institute:

“   Freedoms and rights, especially for women and children, are little more than cruel fictions without the rule of law and some semblance of social order enforced by legitimate authority”

What does this mean? Read it again.

Freedoms and rights rely on enforcement by legitimate authority? If they are enforced how can they be freedoms? How can they be rights?

As we have said before somewhere, any “freedom” or “right” which is in the gift of another and bestowed at their whim is neither truly a freedom nor a right but a favour dispensed as a reward for obedience to the rulers who own us.

Our freedom is our birthright and it is not in the gift of anyone, least of all an anally-retentive Little Lord Fauntleroy, a jumped up squirt like Howard.
