Do You Fear Liberty?

Do you believe that Wikileaks is wrong and should be shut down?  Do you believe that it’s founder Julian Assange should be assasinated, arrested, or at the very least smeared by spurious allegations?

Were you also in favor of giving up our 4th & 5th Ammendment rights in the name of the War on Terror?  And now you’d have us give up our 1st Ammendment rights as well?  All that will remain between us and serfdom will be our 2nd Ammendment rights.  Why not, in the name of expedience, make the way clear for tyranny and just give up our arms now?

Are you so afraid of being bombed that you’d submit to a scan or a stipsearch?  So afraid of Al Qaeda that you approve of extraordinary rendition, violation of habeas corpus, and prisons like Guantanamo Bay?   Do you fear the truth so much that you’d approve of sanctions against Wikileaks and Julain Assange?  

Jefferson said, “We are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead” and “Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost.”

If you fear the truth then you fear Liberty.
