Giuliani On Freedom

Mayor Rudy at a forum on urban crime, from the NYT, March 17, 1994

"What we don't see is that freedom is not a concept in which people can do anything they want, be anything they can be," he said at the forum, sponsored by The New York Post. "Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do."

WTF?

Um, how many fingers am I holding up -- I think something in that cranium ain't right.

I still think the Rudester is going to be the unholy heir to this filthy cabal, although he's not in the limelight at the moment. He's just so...perfect as a segue.

Haven't heard much lately from america's betrayer mayor, but watch out for his endgame, sure to be filled with fireworks.
