Umm...that's not what De Oppresso Liber means. Have a look at List of Latin phrases Xyzzyva 03:51, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The dog Latin phrase is more accurately "Free from oppression".

I found a reference to the grammar in the phrase, which is essentially non "proper" Latin.[1] I know someone who's a Latin scholar and I will ask him to provide input. Alcarillo 16:47, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To oppress liberty

I think about 99% of "rest of the world" thinks the motto means "we oppress the free people", which is exactly what Uncle Sam does: Iraq, Vietnam, Granada, Panama, etc.
