Anonymous British Officer after the Battle of Saratoga, 1777

This comment, made by a soldier now forgotten by history, was more prophetic and more significant than he probably realized at the time

Very ture, however as we sacrifice more and more to big government, we lose that spirit of self reliance and ingenuity that drove America to become the land of the free and the home of the brave. Tough times are coming.

I hope so. But I’m not optimistic right now. The government has soooo much more power than is Contitutionally sanctioned and I believe the Founders would be abhorred to see this country in the state it’s in now.
