Are you calling Ol' Dan Tucker a liberal?
It was he who supplied the quote in the first place; I merely pulled a source to verify it.
Maybe you should research quotes before posting them.
The context is that while running for President, candidate GW Bush didn't like a web site that parodied the rumor of Bush's cocaine use and so Bush sought to have the Federal Election Commission declare the site's owner as a PAC to expose his sources of income and cause him to fall under the auspices of federal election law. In effect, to shut him up. Hardly the actions of a freedom-loving man who, his supporters claim, is a conservative.
Does a conservative seek to limit the free speech of another? Does a conservative seek to have the federal government step in to limit the free speech of another?
That is exactly what candidate GW Bush did, however. And, when the FEC told candidate GW Bush to go pound sand, Bush called a press conference and uttered the phrase, "There ought to be limits to freedom." Which, in context, means that he thought that there ought to be limits to what the public could say about a man running for President, such as Bush.
That is the full context and it's hardly a flattering one, either.
At that point, I knew that Bush was not then, nor would he ever be, the man for me.
Would you say today that we have more or less freedoms today as a result of GW Bush's policies?
We know that he expanded opportunities for Mexican illegal aliens and that they have more freedom here in America than before Bush took office.
But, what about American citizens?
