“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 arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” ― Samuel Adams
I have cited the very same to a few FReepers, especially those who are of the Blame America First clique.
You seem obsessed with civil war and secession; hence your screen name.
Get over it; that war ended long ago. We’ve moved on — sometimes for the good, and sometimes for the not so good; that’s just reality, and rather normal for such imperfect creatures as humans.
“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 arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” ― Samuel Adams”
Thanks, I always loved that quote.
