Patrick Henry, too!
"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!"
"The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them. "
"Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense?"
- Patrick Henry
--- Our dear President-elect Messiah Obama would never rip-off quotes from our Founding Fathers. Why? Too many of them concern liberty, freedom, choice, independence, and self reliance. Not on his upcoming agenda.
