"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
You’re Under Arrest: How the Police State Muzzles Our Right to Speak Truth to Power
"What the First Amendment protects—and a healthy constitutional republic requires—are citizens who routinely exercise their right to speak truth to power.

For those who refuse to meekly accept the heavy-handed tyranny of the police state, the danger is all too real."
