"We might as well get used to it, things are never gonna be the same again, and for the protection of us all some liberties probably will be lost."

Giving up on freedom and America, eh?

So sad....

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!"

"Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction." --- Ronald Reagan

Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God –-- Susan B. Anthony

"When the people fear the government you have tyranny, when the government fears the people you have liberty" --- Thomas Jefferson

"Timid men... prefer the calm of despotism to the boisterous seas of liberty." --- Thomas Jefferson

Ben Franklin said something that was often repeated during the American Revolutionary War: "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." It is no less true today.
