Jon Stewart took down the conservative fringe’s view of freedom, and he was quite frankly on fire. Loved this clip!

I honestly do not understand why so many people don't GET it. We the People have the ultimate control over our government already; what we do NOT have control over are Big Businesses.
The Conservative right wants to hamstring any attempt by the government to rein in the excesses of businesses. Their so-called appeal to individual liberties (about which they do not really care, or they wouldn't spend so much time worrying about who people marry) is just a smoke screen for the fact that they want Big Money to control our lives.
