I’m tired of the brave words of the Revolutionary leaders who urged people to go FIGHT and then WENT TO WAR being tossed around to encourage us to Call our Representatives, or elect GOPers.

I’m waiting for the REAL Patrick Henry of today who when they talk about going to fight the oppression of the beast means FIGHT it, in the Classical Sense.

Until then please confine your use of quotes from the Revolutionary Period to those patriots who urged compromise, letter writing, petitioning and prayer as the primary means of effecting change in the colonies.

Thanks!

This is true, I think we are in the 1760’s early 1770’s right now in terms of comparisaon to the revolutionary war period....

Not yet in 1776, but give it a few years, in some ways it is good Obama is throwing the country down the drain as it will take starving people to start a revolution, the question is are the majority of the people so used to government handouts that they will start a revolution only to ask for more handouts????
