So in short, you reversed it because it allows you to troll easier. That's
what I thought. The quote is remembered because it is valid Shawn, your
reverse quote on the other hand, is not. You would be one of "those" people
who just don't get it.

essential security -> tipical for post-911; and you really believe
this, don't you? 
poor folks

Shawn's words are actually a bit of a jumble from the 
original quote:

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary
safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

No, they're a carefully-considered counterpoint to the original quote,
because I've found this to be more effective in stiring 
debate than just
attempting to point out the crucial importance of the words 
"essential"
and "temporary" in the original.  Some people Just Don't Get It.
