Stand for something or stand for nothing

Relative to the NSA surveillance scandal, Digby has some good advice for the Democratic Party and ends with the quote of the day.

I'm of the mind to adopt "give me liberty or give me death" as my personal motto. If I have to kowtow to a bunch of childish Republican panic artists who have deluded themselves into believing that fighting radical Islam requires turning America into a police state, then it's just not worth it.

As I said in his comment section, turn that into a pledge and I'll sign back onto the party.
