I didn't see the Bush 43b inauguration ceremony, but out of morbid curiosity downloaded the transcript of his address. Following up from my earlier post on the Pavlovian use of the words "free" and "freedom" in Bush's speeches:
- America defended our own freedom
- that is the force of human freedom
- the expansion of freedom
- Freedom, by its nature
- attain their own freedom
- in freedom's cause
- freedom, which is eternally right
- secured by free dissent
- no justice without freedom
- advance of freedom
- the call of freedom
- your free country
- Those who deny freedom
- Division among free nations
- is a primary goal of freedom's enemies
- The concerted effort of free nations (yes, that's three times in fourteen words)
- achieved their freedom
- fire of freedom
- raise up free governments
- unfinished work of American freedom
- America's ideal of freedom
- life in a free society
- fellow Americans greater freedom
- America's ideal of freedom
- America's ideal of freedom
- message of freedom
- cause of freedom
- cause of freedom
- when freedom came under attack
- captives are set free
- triumph of freedom
- freedom is the permanent hope
- the banner "Freedom Now"
- history of freedom
That's thirty four fricking times in a seventeen minute speech!!!
