You can tell when someone's lying when they invoke "Jesus", "God", or "Freedom". If they invoke all three, you can assume they're as fake and hypocritical as the day is long...anyone who actually believed in those things wouldn't be chanting them like some mindless corporate whore. I met a Christian one time, she never talked she only helped people all the time, that's how I knew she was Christian.
The term *freedom* is the most bastardized word on the planet. Propagandists use it non-stop, because they all have their own warped definition for what it means. For one example, the only type of debt that can't be discharged in (U.S.) bankruptcy, is student loans. Corporations can borrow untold billions of unsecured debt to buy back ponzi stock and then walk away in the next meltdown, but not students. That's because freedom has devolved into the exact opposite of what it means. Now it means indentured corporate servitude at ever-lower pay.
And of course *free* trade means the freedom to be "right sized" by RomneyBots, for special dividends. While the good Mormon son et al. pass judgement on the 47% indolent masses they just laid off.

I don't have the universal definition for freedom. The problem is that no one does. Because if they did, that would be the beginning of accountability. And the old age home abhors accountability. So instead, they just talk non-stop and do nothing. The signature of stagnation.
Change begins with a definition that is arrived at by consensus and not handed down by corrupt charlatans.
