Yep. More reason that Sam Adams is one of my heroes.
That could have been written today. He is one of my heros.
And one from Patrick Henry:
Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience, is incompatible with freedom. No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue; and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.
(boy that rules out a huge number in congress....)
