I've heard that a few commentators (Maureen Dowd, for one) have made fun of the President's writing "let freedom reign" in reaction to the handover of Iraq (rather than "let freedom ring"). This strikes me as a little like someone from the Maritime culture of defeat making fun of Albertans (search for the name Scott Brison, if you care, which I don't encourage you to do). It's exactly backward: "let freedom ring"? What the heck does that mean? I'm not saying I haven't heard it before -- I'm not even saying it's not a cliché, because it is. But that doesn't mean it makes sense. |
