It's really *sad* that good and honorable Americans have lost their way so much.... And become willing to forsake our birthright as Americans, our defining greatness.
"They that give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." --- Benjamin Franklin
"The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors; they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us without a struggle, or be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men." --- Samuel Adams
Patrick Henry spoke these famous prophetic words, as much to us today as to his fellow patriots in 1775: ‘Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!´
"Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God" --– Susan B. Anthony |
