Fairness leads to liberty;
Fearfulness leads to tyranny.
There are two types of voters:
Those who choose fairness over fearfulness
And those who choose fearfulness over fairness.
The fair citizen votes for
Freedom over fear,
Civil rights over civil wrongs,
Civil liberties over civil tyrannies.
The fearful citizen votes for
Fear over freedom,
Civil wrongs over civil rights,
Civil tyrannies over civil liberties.
The fair and courageous citizen believes
Give him liberty or
Give him death.
The fearful and cowardly citizen believes
Take away his liberty or
He might receive death.
More fair voters
Than fearful voters
When the Democratic Party
For civil libertarians
Defeats the Republican Party
For authoritarians.
More fearful voters
Than fair voters
When the Republican Party
For authoritarians
Defeats the Democratic Party
For civil libertarians.
Republicans incite people's fearfulness;
Democrats appeal to people's fairness;
Don't cower in fearfulness;
Stand up for fairness.
America was meant to be
The land of the free
And the home of the brave,
Not the land of the oppressed
And the home of the cowards,
So the fearful
Better grow a spine.
Giving away liberty
Does not buy security;
Liberty is most of security;
Without decreasing liberty,
Let's start increasing security.
The seed of liberty
Grows peace and prosperity,
So our only fear
Should be of fear.
Then the future won't be owned by fear;
The future will be owned by freedom.
