Reader comments about this quote:

Those 'minorities' have often been cast as radicals or rebels, even terrorists, but in time they have been duly recognized as Freedom Fighters. Now, of course, they are called anti-Americans or traitors and persecuted under the so-called Patriot Act (which, of course, was penned by the real traitors to the Republic). -- John-Douglas, Nassau
-- Josh S., St. Louis,MO
It is very inspiring to a 6th grader, like me, who's typing something for freedom sayings in a class. -- Elizabeth Channing, carmel,IN
The natural man is an enemy to God, hence the qoute that freedom fighters are in the minority the super majority of the time. -- JoW, Utah
