Just how out of the mainstream is the Bush administration? How would they respond to the comments made by the following Americans?

Washington: "Freedom, not safety, is the highest good."
Jefferson: "Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom."
"Dissent is the highest form of patriotism."
Madison: "No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare."
"It is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad."
"Of all the enemies of public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other."
"The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home."
Teddy Roosevelt: "To announce that there should be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, it is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American people"
Eisenhower: “The problem in defense is how far you can go without destroying from within what you are trying to defend from without.”
“There is no way in which a country can satisfy the craving for absolute security, but it can bankrupt itself morally and economically in attempting to reach that illusory goal through arms alone.”
"As it is an ancient truth that freedom cannot be legislated into existence, so it is no less obvious that freedom cannot be censored into existence. And any who act as if freedom's defenses are to found in suppression and suspicion and fear confess a doctrine that is alien to America."
Kennedy: "Without debate, without criticism, no administration and no country can succeed - and no republic can survive."

In failing to live up to these American ideals, Republicans in Congress and the President himself are turning their backs on the sacred beliefs our men and women are dying for around the world.
