Live Free or DIE!
Sometimes a word of bedrock principle is of more worth than a thousand pretty posed pictures!
"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
--Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775
Would that we still felt it!...
...So PASSIONATELY!
LIBERTY! It's a question of VALUE. What will WE sacrifice for LIBERTY???
Take the gloves off! The enemies of LIBERTY have! Speak your mind with CONVICTION--do the HARD tasks! Stand up, FINALLY (you know who you are), and be COUNTED, in spite of the COST!
I found this humorous 1990s era Patrick Henry cartoon--which mocks the absurdity of politically correct politeness-- and I just couldn't help thinking that some of our very im-Paulite detractors, who spend all of their time these days writing vitriolic commentary against passionate Ron Paul rEVOLutionaries, would like nothing better than for OUR rEVOLution to become EXACTLY like that portrayed in the cartoon!
And...
If the American Revolution had been left up to the Neo CONS, and to their "spin"-off media mouths, then their leaders would surely have arrested, tortured and hung Patrick Henry ON THE SPOT, without trial or evidence (beyond their gut feeling), all the while muttering something about Liberty not being a "suicide pact", and then accusing Henry of seditious thought crimes! Following their summary elimination of mere inhuman scum (that's what supposed suspects under suspicious suspicion are, after all), they would then have finally donned red coats, themselves, and started paying their tea taxes, since Henry's loony libertarian views had wised them up to the fact that the taxes (along with all of the other injustices, which led the REAL revolutionaries later to write a Bill of Rights) were entirely for their good! How ELSE could 'liberty-loving' King George (no, not Bush) pay to maintain the all-important ethnocentric boon of a prideful ever-expanding empire, on which the sun never sets!
(OH! To be a cog or a drip in THAT glorious global machine! NOT!)
