speak for yourself, Newt!
The NJ Star-Ledger quotes GOP gadfly Newt Gingrich making an interesting claim (h/t: ThinkProgress) during a debate yesterday at Drew University:
Senior Matthew Groch, of Salem, N.H., asked how the U.S. government could justify violating personal rights with domestic eavesdropping and the Patriot Act."If there's a threat, you have a right to defend society," Gingrich said. "People will give up all their liberties to avoid that level of threat."
Speak for yourself, Newt; I don't scare easily enough for Rovian tactics to have any effect, and I refuse to give up any of my liberties--let alone all of them--to conservative fear-mongers.
