    Not so very long ago, the loyal opposition was quite fond to trot out this Franklin chestnut, "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

    They were correct to do so. And ought to remember it.

    There’s always an emergency is one is willing to look hard enough.

    “They don’t have time to sit around discussing liberty” - HHuskyFS
    I missed the origins of that meme. Was it @HHusky ? I’d presumed it was any of about 45 governors.
    HHusky said it. Back in February or late January. It was embarrassing.
    Staggering. TYFYS.

    I can absolute understand emergent threats and pragmatism. But there's always tim to discuss liberty. Failing to address that has been a major failing for the likes of Inslee, the Oregon toadie, and Newsom.

    Nothing gets past this one. Unlike the Patriot Act, which was passed.

    Always fun to see a pseudo-intellectual housewife shove his head up his ass in every thread. What does the quote mean to you, English Major Guy?

    He means it just as it reads. You aren't a citizen or patriot if you allow the government to infringe on your rights. This is a guy that carried two pistols everywhere he went. The founders thought they would have a revolution every 10-20 years because governments are so evil and intrusive by nature. He'd be all for shooting them. Oh yeah they did shoot them.

    So I'll ask again. What did your wife tell YOU it meant?
