Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death
March 23, 1775
By Patrick Henry
.......Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.
Mr. President, <b>it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts.</b> Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the numbers of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth, to know the worst, and to provide for it.......

....and dksuddeth, are we yet in a circumstance where we are required to take back our constitutional rights using any and all means, including using the arms that you have so consistently maintained are our right to possess, without restriction....and if not now, with congress unwilling or unable to attempt to remove the president from office, even in reaction to circumstances already abridging our guaranteed "freedoms", described in the OP, when then, and under what further aggravated circumstances?
