“We look upon authority too often and focus over and over again, for 30 or 40 or 50 years, as if there is something wrong with authority. We see only the oppressive side of authority. Maybe it comes out of our history and our background. 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,”Freedom is what?! This was the guy that was being touted as the Republican front-runner mere weeks ago?
- Rudy Giuliani, March 1994.
"Freedom is about Authority", War is Peace, insert your Orwellian phrase here.
As hard as it may be to believe, Rudy Guilliani may actually be a worse choice for president than George W. Bush was, and that worries me.
Props to the Cranky Yankee for the quote
