  • Actually? Both! I can't see for the life of me why they both can't be here for us. Something has got to give!

    There are people crazy enough to choose one over the other.

  • Didn't one of your founding fathers once say that a people that chooses security over freedom deserves neither?

  • Freedom.  Security without freedom is fairly worthless in my eyes. Security tends to be a false sense anyways.
    Personally I think a government's focus on security should be in securing liberties and rights over all. The promise of safety sends numerous red flags up when I hear it.

    Oh we are talking politics here, shoulda known.  I choose secure borders in which to enjoy freedom.
    Freedom to go to the mall and not be worried about being blown up by radical terrorists. By those who practice a religion that says anyone outside of their religion are infidels and must be destroyed.  This post was edited by Art Lover at February 7, 2017 5:40 PM MST

    I choose both.

    “If you want total security, go to prison. There you’re fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking… is freedom.” – Dwight D. Eisenhower
