      Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

      One of the favorite and often mis-quoted lines for right-wingers. The context here is kind of funny, since it’s basically pro-taxation.

      I do like misquoting it though to promote privacy, but that has nothing to do with the actual context of the quote.
