He presented America as on a crusade for freedom, fighting for democracy all over the world. This must be why the government tacitly supported coups against democratic presidents of Haiti and Venezuela. This is why they have expended no energy supporting democratic movements from Tibet to Ache to Burma. This is why America is a strong ally of Saudi Arabia.

Shrub's rhetoric of freedom and ownership society sound hollow given his policy of locking up people who own marijuana plants. He talks about widening ownership of businesses while supporting deregulation and corporate buyout. He talks about liberty, but supports indefinite detention without charge.
