Does this quote still apply 81 years later? Could it be applied to proposition 8 and the like?

"I find it interesting that the national government which speaks most about freedom and liberty is also the government which turns a blind eye to those same liberties in their own back yard. It proves the point that liberty is not defined by ideas and ideals, but rather by those who posses the power to write the definition." B.V.
