Ben Franklin 300 years later -
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither safety nor liberty"

He was so right - problem is bush's criminal actions take away all of our safety & liberty

If Ben Franklin were alive today he'd say its time to overthrow the tyrannical president
