The new American Revolution starts on Tuesday. I have spent more money this year in contributions, including to Hoffman, than I have in a long, long time. I fear for my country's future.
THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.
Actually, I think your post was first. Thanks!

Here here, and may I add GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!
And from Thomas Jefferson:
“A people unwilling to use extreme violenmt force to preserve or obtain their liberty deserves the tyrants that rule them.”
And
“When the people fear the government you have tyranny, when the government fears the people you have liberty.” TJ
