Shown
are two Benjamin Franklin t-shirts from our
Presidential quotes category. The quote reads "Any
Society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little
security will deserve neither and lose both." The Ben
Franklin t-shirts are very telling.
The
current administration would do well to listen to the
leaders of our country from when the country was founded.
Benjamin Franklin was one of the most brilliant minds in
politics in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
The quote from Ben Franklin on these t-shirts say "Any
society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little
security will deserve neither and lose both." It goes
directly to the Fourth Amendment and to the fact that the
Bushies are arguing that we need to give up a lot of liberty
to get a scant little more security. The Ben Franklin
quote t-shirts demonstrate that the argument is ridiculous
and that Bush has no idea what he speaks of. It is
simply an attempt to achieve greater power over the people.
