Imagi-Natives: ...for an imaginative life!

[Quote No.56631] Need Area: Friends > Conversation
"[Freedom of thought, speech, expression and press versus censorship and propaganda:] As a matter of general principle, I believe there can be no doubt that criticism in time of war is essential to the maintenance of any kind of democratic government ... too many people desire to suppress criticism simply because they think that it will give some comfort to the enemy to know that there is such criticism. If that comfort makes the enemy feel better for a few moments, they are welcome to it as far as I am concerned, because the maintenance of the right of criticism in the long run will do the country maintaining it a great deal more good than it will do the enemy, and will prevent mistakes which might otherwise occur." - Robert A. Taft
Conservative American politician, statesman, and presidential hopeful who served as a United States Senator from Ohio from 1939 until his death in 1953. Quote from his address to Executive Club of Chicago, December 19, 1941.
