That’s a fact. The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.
That said, I am well prepared to die to protect our freedom.
The question that I would ask them is are they prepared to die, in attempt to take our rights away?
Hah! The politicians? Of course not. They're perfectly prepared to send their armed, uniformed minions to kill or die in the suppression of our liberty. They'll keep their legions of praetorian guards, though, and ride around in armored limousines, and work and live in fortified buildings. They're that important. Ask them. They may deign to answer.
