I wasn't disagreeing with the sentiment. Unclewest answered that our 5% of the world's population spends what the other 95% of the world does on the military because "Freedom isn't Free"! As if, if we only spent TWICE what the rest of the world did, SOMEONE would take our freedom!

As he was using it, it was just a converstion-stopping wingnut bumper-sticker thought. The chimp uses such often, like "they hate our freedom"! I guess they work with unclewest. Sorta like "Lebensraum" worked for another demagogue.
