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.

I've looked hard and have yet to find anything 'well-meaning' in the Bushists and their dominionist allies. But it's gotta be there, right? If not, then, by logical deduction, they are evil and we are no longer free.
