New York Times Attacks Tucker Carlson

The New York Times (NYT) hates Tucker Carlson so much that they ran a huge attack piece on him.  You can go to your public library and look for the Sunday May 1, 2022 issue of the New York Times.  American Nationalist by Nicholas Confessore starts on page one and continues across many pages.  This is one of the largest articles I have ever seen.

The online version of the Sunday NYT hit piece is dated 4/30 and is in three parts.  Here they are.  You will probably need a subscription to read them:

Anyone the NYT hates this much must be doing good our country.  I will now start watching Tucker Carlson on Rumble ( https://rumble.com/ ).  I just searched on "Tucker" inside of Rumble and I see they have episodes of Tucker Carlson Tonight. 

Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty

 Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty is engraved on this statue (click on the image and it will enlarge)

The quote, "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," is usually, but erroneously, attributed to Thomas Jefferson.  Researchers have attributed a longer version of the quote to John Philpot Curran (1750 – 1817):

"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt." – Speech upon the Right of Election for Lord Mayor of Dublin, 1790, as quoted in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations

Respectfully Quoted: A Dictionary of Quotations, ed. Suzy Platt, provides a cross reference to the first known appearance of the quote in its shorter form, in a speech by abolitionist Wendell Phillips in 1852:  "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty."

There you have it:  the famous quote, "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty" is not originally from Thomas Jefferson, but from the abolitionist lawyer Wendell Phillips.
