It amuses me that you keep stalking my posts even though I have maintained that I would ignore you. I'll break my silence long enough to correct you. That quote you posted is not Patrick Henry, it's James Madison (go figure!).

THIS, is Patrick Henry:

"That government is no more than a choice among evils, is acknowledged by the most intelligent among mankind, and has been a standing maxim for ages. If it be demonstrated that the adoption of the new plan is a little or a trifling evil, then, sir, I acknowledge that adoption ought to follow; but, sir, if this be a truth, that its adoption may entail misery on the free people of this country, I then insist that rejection ought to follow."

Patrick Henry, June 7th, 1788

Thanks for taking the bait.

Do you disagree with the statement made by Madison at the Virginia ratifying convention?

As for responding to your degrading posts against our framers, I will continue to do so.
