I have heard sean hannity, rush limbaugh, and other so-called "conservative"(but really neocon) radio hosts talking about how civil liberties are "protecting terrorists." Why is liberty the target of these "conservatives"? (if you asked me, i would call them neocons or liberals).
"Liberty is an opportunity for doing good, but only so when it is also an opportunity for doing wrong." F. A. Hayek
"Freedom has cost too much blood and agony to be relinquished at the cheap price of rhetoric." Thomas Sowell
"Necessity is the plea of every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of Tyrants; it is the Creed slaves." William Pitt
"It is seldom that any Liberty is lost all at once." David Hugh
let me just add that you will see people call me a liberal or commie in this question's answers, but i have to say that that is very ignorant, because conservatism (real, ronald reagan consrevatism, not george bush neoconservatism) was founded on these ideas.
