From Cato-at-Liberty via Tim Lynch (follow the link for his commentary and more links):

A disturbing excerpt from a speech that Giuliani delivered in 1994:

What we don’t see is that freedom is not a concept in which people can do anything they want, be anything they can be. Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do.

I tell ya, the man is seriously deluded.
