John Cornyn to America: Take my liberty or give me death.

[BuyingThyme]

Spitting on the graves of every person who ever fought and died for the United States of America:

"None of your civil liberties matter much after you’re dead," said Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), a former judge and close ally of the president who sits on the Judiciary Committee.

This animal, a U.S. senator who sits on the committee which will supposedly investigate illegal spying by the Chimp, has been on record for over six days. Six days ago this animal declared war on everything this nation stands for, he makes no bones about it, and I didn't even hear about it until today.

Take my liberty or give me death. That's the new Republican Party slogan. It's the slogan of cowards and traitors. Use it.

1. Ben Franklin spoke very clearly if not harshly against this position:

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

Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)

John Cornyn can shove it up his ass, according to Ben, and Ben and his ilk lived through a war on their home soil with the American Revolution where thousands died.

2. This one's all about Patrick Henry.

In attendance were Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. Reportedly, the crowd, upon hearing the speech jumped up and shouted "To Arms! To Arms!"

3. Isn't he implicated in something or other?

I can't keep my scandals straight these days.

5. I think he's on the Abramoff list.

Don't take my word for it.
