...they should be afraid of us. The American people. Who have died to ensure democracy before, and will again, if push comes to shove. We've seen Kobaches before. In 1775. In 1861. In 1941. The Americans of those generations knew what to do with the Kris Kobaches of this world. I don't think we've forgotten. The Founders knew that liberty was precious, and fragile. And that eternal vigilance was its price. If these people really attack the basis of our democracy, we'll know what to do. Frightened people are ripe for slavery. The people of America are not.
