"Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety"

Pity for the Chicken Little Hysteric is they base their argument on a completely fraudulent assumption. We have not given up any "Essential Liberty" as they claim. Sorry you do NOT have right to commit treason. Once you choose to conspire with terrorists you are no longer a member of, but an enemy of US Civil Society. You do NOT get to hide behind your Constitutional Protections in order to plot mass murder of your fellow citizens. WE have the right, via our agency the Govt, to protect ourselves from those who would side with our enemies. So, you assumptions are prove wrong.

Also quote from Franklin: "Well Gentleman, you have a Republic, if you can keep it". It seems certain hysterics would have us throw away the Republic because their paranoid fear of Government BY THE PEOPLE defending us/
