Chippin' away at our freedom, little by little.

I just saw a disturbing picture in a recent newspaper. I think it was USAToday.

It was a picture of a security guard "wanding" a college girl for weapons before she entered the Capitol building for a tour. The caption read, "Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom."

I thought I was going to puke. So now, THIS is the NEW "vigilance" - subjecting ourselves to more and more searches and seizures - in the name of a perverted "freedom." When I saw this photo, I recalled what Franklin said about those who would sacrifice freedom for security, but now the powers-that-be are equating one with the other and the sheeple are eating it up. Our Republic is doomed.
