I recall a time when George Bush said “if you’re not with us, you’re against us” with no sense of irony as a democratic leader. Same shitty authoritarian mindset on display here

Jr, addressing congress on September 20th, 2001.

Here’s the exact quote:

Remember freedom fries? I remember seeing a paper taped to a menu once that said "freedom fries" over what I now know we're just regular French fries.

Didn't know why people were calling it that at the time, but looking back... Damn. I wonder how our high school French teacher was doing....
