Contrare. When the rulers fear the ruled, we have freedom.
I am well aware of the original saying. This speak no evil towards the office of the mighty president is a relativly recent infringement on free speech. The onus is that the law was made for one man. As we have seen in past history, the talkers do nothing, the person bent on killing will do so, no law, no effort, of the SS will thwart that individual. If Bush or any other president is so fearful, then he should not have "sought" that office. I have no time or concern for those that thirst for power and after they achieve it, desire to restrict the rights of others to quell their fear.
As a case in point, Ted Kennedy, did not let his thirst for power overcome his good senses. Any seeker of power over others, yet fears for his very life, has got to be not a man at all.
