What happened to the signers of the Declaration of Independence?

What actual sacrifices has the “Liberal Lion of the Senate” ever made in his life for anyone else, much less his country? I’m not talking about getting a bill into law to force other people to pay for things, I’m talking about personal sacrifices that he himself made?

Two years in the US Army during the Korean War. But the Lion was stationed in Paris.

They also knew if they lost the war, they were signing their own death warrant. Each and everyone would of been hung for treason.

"Two years in the US Army during the Korean War. But the Lion was stationed in Paris."

I don't know that we have ever had any major military bases in France after WWII. Most of the soldiers stationed in Europe in the 50's were in Germany. There must have only been a handful of Army personnel in France in the 50's. Now I wonder how he got that post? Old Joe wouldn't have had anything to do with it, would he???

“assuming that there WILL be a “next election”,”

Don’t count on another one.

“Our founders literally put their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor on the line for a free America. Are we willing to do the same???

I, for one, most assuredly am. As a younger man, I represented my country fighting for other people’s freedom and could have cared less. I would willing sacrifice my life to free my own people (Americans) from the marxist tyrants currently in charge of this country.”

I am not a young man anymore, as a young man I was foolish and was sucked into the anti-Vietnam War crap and by luck, design, or grace turned 18 about the time the draft ended.
I’ve only become a flaming freedom fighter the last few years as I have gained wisdom. I am torn by what is going on in our country today, looking back on what our forefathers did to secure this country but being a Christian I understand that “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
I fear we are very close to an event that may change everything. Obama is just looking for an excuse to formally suspend the Constitution and declare martial law. Even Glenn Beck alluded to this last night.

sadly agree with you—I can sense the darkness swirling around our country. I, too, served my country—along with my husband and my father. Don’t forget there are many women who will gladly defend their homes, their families, their country, their constitution against this present darkness.

I may have been an “admin puke” but I still did very well in my M-16 and 9mm training!!! This Southern girl comes from a long line of patriots starting with the Revolutionary War and my children know their heritage...

Actually a pretty large presense in France until the late 60s when France withdrew from NATO. Truman called Eisenhower back into the service in 1951 to head SHAPE (Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe) and Ike
established his HQ outside Paris.

FWIW, IMO zero has already suspended the Constitution and declared war on the American people.

The shooting just hasn’t started, yet.

I think they knew what they faced, we face less, but our fight is just as real today.

We have far less to loose individually, but as much collectively
