The "Patriot Act"

Hungarian Patriot Act

“This morning the newspapers have published a new law just passed by the Government to oppose all attempts at a counter-revolution.  It empowers the Government to put ‘out of harm’s way’ any one who is , in their opinion, dangerous to the achievements of the revolution or to the popular republic.  This means that anyone of us who is obnoxious in their eyes can be arrested without any further preliminaries.

The Prostitute Press

“The press with its foreign soul, which has enmeshed public opinion completely, now prostitutes the soul and language of Hungary; it has betrayed and sold us; it applauds our degradation, jeers and throws dirt at the nation which has given its partisans a home.”

Bill Was Right!!!!

“I did reread Barry Goldwater’s “Conscience of a Conservative,” and I agree with a lot of points he makes—especially his point that the federal government today (1965) has entirely too much power, and the individual citizen’s rights are being ignored…”
