Is it intended to show the signers as hero’s or to frighten people from standing up to the government in modern times? If it is the ladder, it will have no effect.

No, it's purpose is to show that freedom isn't free. If you're willing to tolerate the "status quo" until the next election (or the one after that . . . or the one after that . . . ), assuming that there WILL be a "next election", then this post is not for you.

Our founders literally put their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor on the line for a free America. Are we willing to do the same???

I, for one, most assuredly am. As a younger man, I represented my country fighting for other people's freedom and could have cared less. I would willing sacrifice my life to free my own people (Americans) from the marxist tyrants currently in charge of this country.

“assuming that there WILL be a “next election”,”

Don’t count on another one.

I am not a young man anymore, as a young man I was foolish and was sucked into the anti-Vietnam War crap and by luck, design, or grace turned 18 about the time the draft ended.
I’ve only become a flaming freedom fighter the last few years as I have gained wisdom. I am torn by what is going on in our country today, looking back on what our forefathers did to secure this country but being a Christian I understand that “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
I fear we are very close to an event that may change everything. Obama is just looking for an excuse to formally suspend the Constitution and declare martial law. Even Glenn Beck alluded to this last night.
