Rudolph (Rhymes with Adolph) Giuliani's Concept of FREEDOM: AUTHORITY
Edited on Sat Dec-01-07 10:58 AM by Dems Will Win

"A Small Man In Search Of A Balcony"

Here it is from a speech in 1994, read it and let me know what you think he thinks about what you think:

What we don't see is that freedom is not a concept in which people can do anything they want, be anything they can be. Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do.

If you agree with this quote, do NOT recommend this thread...

1. I wholeheartedly disagree with that quote, and the authoritarian asshat who said it.
Because of that, this thread gets it's first recommendation.
