I saw some young boys in colonial garb and tricorner hats running through the crowd at a tea party rally and generally acting like young boys do. It really touched me thinking, not that long ago, young boys just like that took up arms with their fathers and fought the best Army in the world for their freedom. And they won.

God bless those Patriots and the America they fought and died for!

Yes. They were able to separate their loyalty to government from their dedication to the cause of freedom. I worry that too many Americans today may not be able to make that distinction.
