I did a google search and found the quote listed.  Maybe I have a newer computer version which locates "progressive" quotations.  

Enough "progressive" talk.  Is it snowing on the AT in the Smokies tonight?

Benjamin Franklin, 1748: "Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God."

  Interesting thing about that quotation in Coosa's post: Try a Google
  search of the text. You'll find that the quote is used as evidence of
  every supposed "problem" in America, from socialism to humanism to
  globalism to homosexuality to Satanism.

  And yet, what's strangely missing from these is any reference to a
  person in public education who supports this statement or is even
  willing to repeat it.

  You'll also see that it is variously credited to different speakers and
  different years.

  Hmmmm. Were those words ever spoken before? And if so, what was really
  the context?

  Just wondering.
