Justice Robert H. Jackson Quote

"Freedom to differ is not limited to things that do not matter much.
That would be a mere shadow of freedom.
The test of its substance is the right to differ
as to things that touch the heart of the existing order."

by:	Justice Robert H. Jackson (1892-1954), U. S. Supreme Court Justice

Freedom and liberty are inalienable rights as a faculty of birth. The occupying statist theocracy infesting this land with its demented patrons are redefining words, censoring expression and excluding anything that may be realized as substantive. Freedom is a choice that is extremely waning.  -- Mike, Norwalk

Welcome to the 20's!  Any one who dissents against the party line is cancelled.  Fascism is alive and well in the Democrat/Socialist party.  Brown Shirts and Red Guards are everywhere now.  The American people must stand up and defend their freedom.  Going woke is no joke.  -- E Archer, NYC
