Republicans scream "FREEDOM and LIBERTY" at the top of their lungs

...meanwhile there is no freedom or liberty anymore in this once Republic. After the Citizens United ruling by the Supremes we immediately became a bought-and-paid-for political oligarchy bordering on fascism.

There is no freedom when an average Joe or Jane with ideas and problem solving skills can't run for office because they haven't cozied up to lobbyists, Super PACS, Kochs, or other individuals willing to fill their coffers for favors. Freedom and Liberty are dead in the US. Yet the rightwing nuts keep running around screaming words like "FREEDOM, LIBERTY, CONSTITUTION, DEMOCRACY...etc." They are so clouded in an alternate reality it is sickening.

Rant off.
