The threats to our freedoms do NOT come from outside our borders.


At all? Really?



External forces may threaten many things, but we ourselves are the greatest
threat to our own freedom.

I think Ben Franklin's (attributed) words said it best "Those who would
give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve
neither Liberty nor Safety."

Some other thoughts on the matter,

John Adams
Be not intimidated... nor suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of
your
liberties by any pretense of politeness, delicacy, or decency.
These, as
they are often used, are but three different names for hypocrisy,
chicanery and cowardice.


Yes, and these men had the guts to put their names behind their words.
Unlike some who post here.

No, I come across as someone who is terrified about the state of our
current government. At least one person has picked up on that. I
can't help your lack of reading comprehension. Are you American?


100%. However, I'm not a paranoid American.

Matt


Then you're part of the problem. History has shown what happens when the
people just roll over for the government.


Only to the paranoid.

Matt



There was a time when people who thought that they were being watched by
government were dismissed and called paranoid.

What do you call those people who KNOW that they are being watched?


Potential terrorists.

So those are my two choices? Paranoid or a push over? I think not.
