I am confused about the purpose of this article. Is it intended to show the signers as hero’s or to frighten people from standing up to the government in modern times? If it is the ladder, it will have no effect.
I think the article is meant to show what our founding fathers sacrificed in order to secure the blessings of liberty and freedom for all of us. We know about the Jeffersons, Franklins and Adams. Yet, we don’t know about the nameless other signers. They were leading men of their day and sacrificed everything for what they believed in.
No, it's purpose is to show that freedom isn't free. If you're willing to tolerate the "status quo" until the next election (or the one after that . . . or the one after that . . . ), assuming that there WILL be a "next election", then this post is not for you.
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 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
