America’s Great Future Lies Within Her People
THIS IS WHY WE BELIEVE IN THE REPUBLIC
“Mr. President, it is natural for man to indulge in the illusions of hope. I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst and provide for it. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free—if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending—if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained—we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we MUST fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us!
Gentlemen may cry, peace, peace—but there is no peace. The war is actually begun. Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? 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
A REMINDER OF WHY WE BELIEVE WHAT WE BELIEVE
“Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance, they are the people’s liberty teeth.”
“It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible.”
“The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference—they deserve a place of honor with all that’s good.”
“Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.”
“To contract new debts is not the way to pay old ones.”
