To: DugwayDuke; Repeal The 17th; LegendHasIt
They tell us, sir, that we are weak;
unable to cope with so formidable an adversary.
But when shall we be stronger?
Will it be the next week, or the next year?
Will it be when we are totally disarmed,
and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house?
Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction?
Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance
by lying supinely on our backs
and hugging the delusive phantom of hope,
until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?
Sir, we are not weak
if we make a proper use of those means
which the God of nature hath placed in our power.
-Patrick Henry at the Second Virginia Convention
at St. John’s Church in Richmond, Virginia on March 23,1775.-

To: Jacquerie

You and I know for a fact that for a democrat senator to vote to remove Obama from office would be committing political suicide. He would never again get a significant percentage of the black vote meaning he would lose in the general election even if he survived the primary.

Once again name 13 democrat senators who would vote to convict.

Very nice poem.
