Thought of the Day (Dowdified versions)

Those who would sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither.

Benjamin Franklin

Here is what he really said in 1755:

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

The version that appears on the Statue of Liberty's pedestal reads:

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

(h/t Michelle Malkin)
