“Big Brother in the form of an increasingly powerful government and
in an increasingly powerful private sector will pile the records high
with reasons why privacy should give way to national security, to law
and order, to efficiency of operation, to scientific advancement and
the like.” ~ Justice William O. Douglas (1898-1980) U.S. Supreme Court

Hold on to the Constitution; for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world
“Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster and what has happened once in 6,000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution; for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world.”
—Daniel Webster

“It’s time for someone to act like a grown-up in this process,” former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu
“It’s time for someone to act like a grown-up in this process,” former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu argues, faulting Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and tea party Republicans in the House as much as President Barack Obama for taking an uncompromising stance.
Sununu is right, someone has to act like a grown-up and take the credit card away from the spoiled teenager before the child runs the debt up so high that the responsible adults can no longer have a chance at paying it back. Someone has to act like an adult and protect freedom from the irresponsible children who want something for “free” at the expense of liberty.
Sununu and others are showing their true colors here. Governor, freedom is something that is worth fighting for.
We are at one of the most dangerous points in our history right now. Every bit as dangerous as the break-up of the Union before the Civil War. Sen Harkin
It’s dangerous. It’s very dangerous. I believe, Mr. President, we are at one of the most dangerous points in our history right now. Every bit as dangerous as the break-up of the Union before the Civil War. Sen Harkin (D).
Freedom vs Slavery. Control by the few of the many. Constitutional freedom vs authoritarianism. It does harken back to the Civil War, Sen Harkin. Senator, how does it feel to be on the side of the slave owning authoritarians?

those who most fear investigations are the ones who attack free press first.
“Thomas Jefferson, 250 years ago, said those who most fear investigations are the ones who attack free press first. This is what journalism is about, shining a light on what the most powerful people in the country are doing to them in the dark. So we’re going to continue to do that no matter what David Gregory and his friends say.”
Glenn Greenwald, July 2, 2013 on Fox and Friends
“The more a society monitors, controls and observes its citizens, the less free it is.”
“The more a society monitors, controls and observes its citizens, the less free it is.”
German Justice Minister Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger
It is appalling that the United States Government’s behavior has caused us to be lectured by Germany about freedom. The Founders are spinning in their graves.
