Socialism holds more freedom than our system. Even Bin Laden knows that silly military man

Bin Laden Quote:
"Security is an important foundation of human life and free people do not squander their security, contrary to Bush's claims that we hate freedom. Let him tell us why we did not attack Sweden for example."

Even Osama gets it... but then again you needed the money for college right?

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

Not everyone joins the military for college money. I could have gotten scholarships. I joined because I believe in service to country, and I believe in supporting freedom and democracy around the world, which includes fighting the tyranny that is inevitable with socialism.
Fight the good fight, and die with the enemy's heart in your hand.

The socalist party has been voted into power for many decades now in Sweden. No tyranny has occurred and none on the horizon.

Isn't it fair to say that a large portion join the military to pay for college?

Believe me... I really don't want socialism in America. But I do think there are many good ideas from it that we can integrate into our current system that could create a new system that surpasses them both.

Yes. Even he understands what I am talking about in regards to Scandinavia. If Bin Laden was "attacking freedom", like Bush states, he would have gone after Sweden like the quote states above. They have more freedom than we do in America and it is under a SOCIALIST SYSTEM.

The quote is from a "press release" (or whatever you call it) that Bin Laden released after 9/11 in response to the propaganda Bush was spouting. You know "they hate our freedom" blah blah. Bin Laden really hit the nail on the head with the above comment in my opinion.
