In reply to the discussion: Ted Lieu: "Dear Bill Barr, Do your job instead of being a full on conspiracy theorist." [View all]DallasNE
(7,402 posts)24. Not What They Say. What They Do
Barr may say he is fighting for "the freedom to live according to our faith" but that is just the rallying cry to impose his faith on all others. And we are already seeing that in things like Hobby-Lobby where the faith of the owner can be imposed on those that work for him and Citizens United where unlimited dark money is allowed to corrupt our elections without the corruptors being identified. And lets not forget the freedom of cake decorators to impose their religious values on those who order their cakes.
For the likes of Bill Barr "freedom to live" means "freedom to impose". It is that simple.

Promoting a specific theocracy is not in the AG job description, Mr. Fixer.
