"There ought to be limits to freedom."
--George W. Bush, March 1999

You're implying that President Bush is against liberty? There are limits to freedom... muslims don't have the freedom to behead in this country, you can't yell "fire" in a crowded theatre, you can't travel more than 70 mph on the highway, you can't jaywalk across the street, you can't slander your neighbor, you can't hurt your neighbor... do you really need more examples?

I think your quote above was likely taken out of context to be put in the worst possible light.

How about the freedom to parody a politician's web site?

Or, like Bush, do you believe this is too much freedom?

I didn't have to do anything to change the context. He's already put it into all the context he needed.

But, then with a little effort searching on Google, you could've found this out for yourself.
