A political gaff is a phenomenon whereby politicians accidentally say what they really mean.

President Joe Biden is prone to them, and he just fell into perhaps the biggest one of his career.

Are you ready to choose freedom over democracy?

Because that's America.

That's America.

You're ready to choose freedom over democracy?

Many on the left and the right.

We'll say that he misspoke.

I think this perfectly sums up what the liberals are pushing.

We know that they don't care one little bit about democracy. The way that we know that

is that every time they lose an election, they say it's a threat to democracy.

Which makes no sense because democracy is government by the people. By definition

whatever the people vote for is a triumph of democracy. But when the liberals say

democracy they don't really mean democracy. They mean liberalism. When liberals say democracy, they really mean freedom,

or at least their own specific modern perverted conception of freedom. They don't mean the classical conception of freedom.

They don't mean the classical conception of freedom,

which is the right to do what we ought to do.

Mumford and Sons summed up the classical understanding of freedom in their song,

The Cave.

I need freedom now, I need to know how to live my life as

it's meant to be. The liberal conception of freedom explicitly rejects living life

as it is meant to be. It's not about conforming to a norm, it's about deviating from it.
