Feeling safe?

Ron Paul: Don't Trade Real Liberty For Phony Security

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” — Samuel Adams

― Frederic Bastiat, The Law

Re: Feeling safe?

Those who trade liberty for safety wind up with neither. Once liberty is lost, the government becomes your predator. Ask the Jews in Germany when they gave up their guns for the security provided by the state how safe they were.
