“We do not move forward by curtailing people’s liberty because we are afraid of what they may do or say.”

Again, the statement is accurate enough on its face, for what it is worth. BUT — The statement is an exercise in misdirection, misinformation and an incomplete half truth to further a lie. By example; The blaring caveat to, “We do not move forward by curtailing people’s liberty because” - is - “we are afraid of what they may do or say.” The full and accurate message of the Rosevelts was, they were going to move forward curtailing liberty because - liberty was antithetical to their theocratic socialism - they didn’t care what anybody said.
