Who said it?
I will give the quote, about trading freedom for security.
No, let's make it easy, I will make it multiple choice and give the names of some Presidential contenders who might have said it.
Let me know how you do. I'll tell you who said it later, on Sunday or Monday.
O.K. Are you ready for this quote?
"You and I are told increasingly that we have to choose between a left or right. Well I would like to suggest that there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down--up to man's age-old dream, the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order, or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. And regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course."
O.K. If you don't have your answer already, we'll make this a multiple choice question. Which of these people said it, and to whom?
a. Barak Obama at the recent Selma, Alabama rally?
b. Hillary Clinton, to the Arkansas Democratic Women's Federation?
c. John Edwards to a Council on Foreign Relations meeting?
d. George W. Bush in a campaign speech in Texas in 2000?
e. Valerie Plame in an opening statement to a Senate Committee?
f. Dennis Kucinick in a campaign speech in Ohio?
g. Dick Cheney in a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations?
h. Ronald Reagan in his 1964 speech "A Time for Choosing" delivered on behalf of Barry Goldwater?
i. Fidel Castro in a speech to the United Nations?
Here is
the giveaway.

Key - how did you post this from the future? Your post date is May 17, 2007
Dear A:
You are pretty sharp to notice that I posted stating a date May 17, 2007--a date that hasn't happened yet. I guess I'm a little ahead on my bloggings. What I try to do is to keep the blogs in an order of importance. Blogspot publishes them in order of dates--with the latest date and time first. In order to republish an article so that it appears on top, editing it, punching date and time, and then resetting the date or time for a future date or time puts that blog on top of all the other blogs. Kudos to you for noticing.
One thing, some junk mail advertisers send me some email with a far future date--such as 2027. That email stays on top of my email list until deleted, or until 2027. Anyone knowing how to do that, please advise me--unless you find that type of email too annoying. Kenneth Stepp.
