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.

LOL, considering that "wanding" is the type of thing we are to be "vigilant" against. They missed the ENTIRE POINT of the quote they were using. Typical.
