I told them that free people always had to decide where to draw the line between their liberty and their security. I noted that the attacks would almost certainly push us as a nation more toward security.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most people want security in this world, not liberty.
The spread of freedom is the best security for the free.
Experience teaches us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government's purposes are beneficent.
The desire for security must be balanced with our regard for liberty.
We must plan for freedom, and not only for security, if for no other reason than that only freedom can make security secure.
Liberty and security are often in direct confrontation and must be balanced in a way that protects us without destroying what is worth protecting.
Ultimately, I'm about liberty and I think you have to defend it.
The sacrifice of our personal liberty for security is and will forever be a false choice.
It gives me pleasure to find that public liberty is effectually secured in each and all the policies of the United States, though somewhat differently modeled.
Liberty is security. Freedom is security.
