I was reminded of this quote by the late columnist Charley Reese. He wrote it about Clinton era health care policy but it is appropriate for many things progressives clamor for.

“There’s no dishonor in being forced by a superior power into slavery, but it is an eternal disgrace to voluntarily surrender one’s liberty for a filthy bowl of oatmeal and a promise of security by liars.”

How about “I’d rather die on my feet than live on my knees”
