“And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.”

I will say it again: “We mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.”

Recently, I came across a definition of courage that is attributed to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt: “Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear.”

In essence, the signers of the Declaration were saying that they were willing to die for the principles they were asserting, the supreme act of courage. Those principles were more important than their fear.

This is what needs to be taught to our young - not the sexual weirdo crap of brain dead so-called 'educators' of our time.
