In reference to the Ben Franklin quote, are you saying that conservatives are trying to remove liberties for temporary security? If so, I agree whole heartedly! That's the whole problem of the Patriot Act. Attempting to keep temporary security by removing many of our basic liberties.
The ideas of conservatives and the Patriot Act do not mesh.
So why did conservatives bully it through congress?
