“They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power.”
― Patrick Henry

One of the best quotes ever from a Founding Father. It’s as timely today as it ever was.
Even if the enemy really did turn out to be too strong, that doesn’t mean surrender should ever be considered an option. If given the choice between slavery and death, then death is the obvious choice. But if it comes to that, just make sure you also choose death for some of your would-be enslavers, and make it count.
Another ball of wisdom we in this day and age must never forget nor fail to employ.
This is a truly beautiful statement! 🙂
Freedom or death. It ain’t worth nothing if you ain’t free, anyway.
Awesome quote from Henry’s 1775 “Liberty or death” speech. He expresses of standing on principle, preparing for physical battle when necessary, and rather dying than living as a slave is a beautiful statement of the principles of our Founders.
Over the last couple of years, I have visited a wide variety of sites, from full out patriot (like this site) to libertarian to alt-right. Regardless of the merits of their theories, both the (Judeophile) libertarians and the anti-Jew and racially conscious alt-right all fall short on two key things. Inflexible moral or philosophical principles guiding their actions, and the will to (literally) fight. With full out patriot sites, I may not agree with every theory or political position they hold (not that they all agree with each other), but I see that they are carrying on the tradition of the Founders -and openly acknowledging the purpose of the 2nd Amendment and it ‘s continuity PRACTICAL, not just theoretical, necessity.
