"In my own native state of Massachusetts, the battle for American freedom was begun by the thousands of farmers and tradesmen who made up the Minute Men -- citizens who were ready to defend their liberty at a moment's notice. Today we need a nation of minute men; citizens who are not only prepared to take up arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as a basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom. The cause of liberty, the cause of America, cannot succeed with any lesser effort.

It is this effort and concern which makes up the New Frontier. And it is this effort and concern which will determine the success or failure not only with this Administration, but of our nation itself."

A quote for our times. This historical quote by JFK from a 1961 speech shows just how far liberals have moved to the left. The quote needs to be used by Trump to drive through a uniform national CCW law when he becomes president. Once passed, it will be the civic duty for all competently capable Americans to carry on a daily basis. It should not have to be this way, but reality dictates that citizens must now band together to protect themselves and each other.
