We must regain the conviction on which liberty in our country has been based and which Benjamin Franklin so aptly expressed in a phrase applicable to us as individuals no less than as a nation: “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

Another excellent source can be found here. It is called "Principles of Tyranny," and all who read it will be able to see those principles being played out in the so-called "progressive" politics of this Administration and the institutions of government which are dominated by the "progressive" ideology.

Pass it on.

By the way, the source web site is a great resource.
