Reader comments about this quote:

In context, accurate enough. The quote does lend a semblance of substance to Patrick Henry's: "Give me liberty or give me death." It is a very sad situation when patrons of the current occupying statist theocracy infesting this land would rather have political correctness, freebees, an unrealistic / unsustainable economy, compelled compliance, government licenses, victimless crimes, larceny with impunity (2nd plank of the communist manifesto, Social Security, police state confiscations, etc.), non-recogniton of individual sovereign status and inalienable rights, etc., etc., etc. rather than liberty. -- Mike, Norwalk 2
Mike said it well. -- jim k, Austin
Not a coordinated quote, for the quality of your freedom behaviors correlates with the quality of all of your life's behavioral patterns. -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown
Mental health notes: To deal with the ill atmosphere they have assembled, the vast conventional populous continually misrepresent and confound every phase of the life proceedings. The mentally ill actively try to make the mentally ill look mentally healthy and the healthy mentality look ill. The healthy mentality try to appropriately coordinate the life procedure. -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown 1
