Which reflects "America the idea" better?


"They that can give up essential liberty for a little safety deserve neither liberty nor safety,"
                                                                                               Ben Franklin


"Given this unspeakable act, Americans will
tolerate some restraint on their liberties for the sake of security,"
                                                       Rep. Martin Meehan (D-Mass)

Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the Government's purposes are beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding.
                                   Justice Louis D. Brandeis
