Chris asked under gun control
"I would like to know where you stand on recent fourth amendment debates. Do you support the Patriot Act? Do you agree or disagree with the wiretapping of American Citizens without a warrant? Is it o.k. to limit the Bill of Rights for security?"
Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
This statement was used as a motto on the title page of "An Historical Review of the Constitution and Government of Pennsylvania". (1759)
Repeated by Benjamin Franklin but differently, but was written before America was born.
If the Federal Government is currently wiretapping American citizens without warrants, maybe we have lost already.......
I can only hope the government is listening to transmissions between terrorists the world over.
The Bill of Rights should never be compromised! (Or distorted)
We should start realizing for over 150 years a Great Nation was forged through the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and we have veered off that path of greatness in search of World Wide Globalization. We need to correct our course for our children and grandchildren.
One more quote:
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free"-- Ronald Reagan |
