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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I do not think we should be trying to save our freedom by killing the safeguards that keep our liberties.
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.
Whenever we take away the liberties of those whom we hate we are opening the way to loss of liberty for those we love.
We must plan for freedom, and not only for security, if for no other reason than that only freedom can make security secure.
The sacrifice of our personal liberty for security is and will forever be a false choice.
The desire for security must be balanced with our regard for liberty.
We will not let terrorists change our way of life; we will not live in fear; and we will not undermine the civil liberties that characterize our Democracy.
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.
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.
