Liberty vs. The State

Over and over again our leaders make statements that indicate that they consider personal liberties and human rights as being mutually exclusive with their ambitions for government programs. I believe, however, that national security, economic well being, and the welfare of our country cannot be maintained without protecting the individual liberties, human rights, and privacy of all men and women.

"Human rights cannot interfere with the global economic crisis, the global climate change crisis and the security crises,"

-U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in talks with China's foreign minister
