If Nixon is not forced to turn over tapes of his conversations with the ring of men who were conversing on their violations of the law, then liberty will soon be dead in this nation.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it.
Liberty cannot be preserved, if the manners of the people are corrupted.
I, for one, will remain constantly vigilant of a government that admits its transgressions of liberty only when they are caught lying.
Too much liberty corrupts us all.
There comes a time in the history of nations when fear and forgetfulness cause a nation to hesitate, to waver, and perhaps even to succumb. When that time comes, those who love liberty must rise to the occasion. Will you lovers of liberty rise to the occasion?
Liberty doesn't work as well in practice as it does in speeches.
When liberty is taken away by force it can be restored by force. When it is relinquished voluntarily by default it can never be recovered.
Even the most cynical can hardly be surprised by the antics of Nixon and his accomplices as they are gradually revealed. It matters little, at this point, where the exact truth lies in the maze of perjury, evasion, and of contempt for the normal - hardly inspiring - standards of political conduct.
When liberty becomes license, dictatorship is near.
The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
