I ask is it better to die a free man than live another day under the this faux freedom we endure? Everyone must answer that, a time of choosing is coming whether we all like it or not.
Better to die on one’s feet than live on one’s knees.
Absolutely. And the truth is: I'm actively planning for all Hell to break loose in this country. I'm just not looking forward to it and think it can still be avoided if we organize and fight back - peacefully - now. The window for something less than armed conflict is closing awfully fast.
Never in my lifetime have the words and wisdom of the Founding Fathers spoke to us more clearly. Our "leaders" of today are mere pisants as compared to the Founders.
Samuel Adams:
Our contest is not only whether we ourselves shall be free, but whether there shall be left to mankind an asylum on earth for civil and religious liberty"How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant pervert the plain Meaning of Words!
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!"
A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue then will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader.
It does not take a majority to prevail ... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.
