Freedom - The misuse of the word

I didn't watch George W. Bush’s second Inaugural Address but I have seen clips and read newspaper articles about it. Really annoying is his use of a rhetorical device in which he stated obvious truisms about “freedom” with the suggestion that opponents of his policies – from invading Iraq to privatizing Social Security – must be people who hate freedom. I always object when people refer to our troops fighting for our freedom in Iraq. Orwell's 1984 has more meaning now than ever.
