Live Free or Die?

Looks like Tony Blankley wasn't from New Hampshire after all:

"It does you no good to be dead and theoretically free," said Mr. Blankley, who served in the Reagan White House and as Newt Gingrich's press secretary before becoming editorial page editor of The Washington Times.
I agree. I'd really love to read the rest if any one gets a transcript.

I've been arguing for years that rights are ordered and that the "right to life" is higher on the importance scale than, say, "freedom of speech". Which is why I've claimed over and over that if its okay to kill your enemy, then its certainly okay to censor him.

Oh, and before you go quoting Ben Franklin to me, make sure you have the quote right:

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
