For the Privatization of Freedom

[For the Privatization of FreedomUpdates below.]

The question for Americans is - will we allow our freedom to be privatized?

-Karen Bauer, Leslie Weise, and Alexander Young, quoted in DailyKos

The context of the quote is another example of government doin' its crazy thing again: tax-funded political events to promote government projects that exclude some people because the event's operators don't like their bumper stickers. Cry "misuse of power and funds" and let slip the outrage.

I have little fear Republicans want to privatize freedom. That'd mean the instant abolishment of government, among other things. The GOP and its conservative base need the state too much for their own uses to get rid of it. They want freedom socialized, just not as much as the Democrats.
