Like Winston Churchill said...,"because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."
Or, “It is far better to die on your feet as a free man than die on your knees as a slave”.
Can’t remember who said that, but it is becoming more relevant every day.
Great quote from your bio:
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”

“..Like Winston Churchill said...,”because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”..”
Churchill was wrong; Patton was right.
“No dumb bastard ever won a war by dying for his country; he won it by making the other dumb bastard die for HIS country.”
Substitute “ideology” or “belief” for “country.
Just sayin’...
