Yeah, it is indeed possible to twist it such that it sounds bad.

The important point is that one's freedom ends where another's
starts.  Unlimited freedom would be freedom to trample over others'
freedoms too, and that's not right.  That's why freedom of choice has
to be used with care.  Even fundamental human rights sometimes clash
with each other.

We don't fight for the freedoms as goals in themselves.  We fight for
them because we understand they're essential for the common good.
