I do not think we should be trying to save our freedom by killing the safeguards that keep our liberties.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Our constitutional liberties shall not be sacrificed in our search for greater security, for that is what our enemies and all enemies of freedom and democracy hope to achieve.
We must plan for freedom, and not only for security, if for no other reason than that only freedom can make security secure.
We must protect the very things that make America so special - most certainly including our civil liberties. But we cannot do so without strong national security and a thoughtful and informed discourse.
The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending against all hazards: And it is our duty to defend them against all attacks.
Setting people to spy on one another is not the way to protect freedom.
Even though some in our government may claim that civil liberties must be compromised in order to protect the public, we must be wary of what we are giving up in the name of fighting terrorism.
I don't think I should tell you what to do, nor should the government. As long as you enjoy your own personal liberties and don't infringe on the liberties of others, I don't care.
You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man's freedom.
There is nothing with which it is so dangerous to take liberties as liberty itself.
To protect our freedoms, it seems we're going to have to relinquish some of our freedoms for a short period of time.
