RE: Sunday Ramble: What IS This Thing Called "Freedom"

in #freedom6 years ago

fighting for freedom" to be completely blind to the fact that the "version" of freedom they want may rob someone else of their freedom.

One example that makes a good argument of this notion is the recent mention in the last couple of years as Religous Freedom ( or Religous Liberty) I won't get too invovled with the political side of this ( well maybe a little ;) ) but it involves one group of folks who want to call it Religious Freedom when in actuality it is a code phrase for wanting to limit the Freedom of others who are "different".

In other wards fighting for Laws that take away the basic Civil Rights of others ( one example would that be the Right to not serve someone in a business establishment because of their sexual preference) and wrapping it up in a warped manner by calling it "Religious Liberty" or "Religious Freedom". When actually it is just plain discriminating against others and taking away their Freedoms.
