Although the two women were strangers, I found I had to speak up, my reaction to what she said was so powerful, I thought I was going to choke.
I couldn’t overcome the thought; now why on earth would anyone censor their opinion in a free country that was so proud of its contribution of lives and treasure in two World Wars?
Sorry to hear about your family...I have a lefty sister, she inherited that from our parents. I’m forever grateful to have escaped the affliction.

You know freedom and liberty. Others can exist within a state of liberty, but have no idea how to define it, reconize it, or preserve it.......until it is gone.
That’s how traitors like Obama can succeed.
And it is our sacred responsibility to stop such nascent tyranny.
You did a fine thing by speaking up.

One of my favorite quotes.

ON LIBERTY
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.
Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: first, a right to life; secondly, to liberty; thirdly to property; together with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can.
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, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. 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 by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men.
Samuel Adams
