Defending your "freedom and liberty?" What is that? What could that mean? Flagwaving empty rhetoric?

I couldn't resist this example of the vacuously pointless argument of defending our "freedom and liberty," at the expense of real ideas, and real solutions. Rachel Maddow interviewed two tea party protesters, who argued for their favorite candidate, and argued for Americans they thought would save our country and protect our "freedoms." Pure symbolism, pure empty rhetoric.
