This is what you get when you elect a president who was raised by communists/Marxists and Muslims and who never set foot on the American mainland till he was 18 years old. Nobody should be surprised at any of this.

Patrick Henry sparked a series of events that culminated in Independence. This rube, noobie Burgess from the backwoods of Virginia was met with sighs of displeasure from the aristocratic planters who wanted to adjourn and get back to their plantations. By custom, new Burgesses sat quietly and learned for at least a session before asking to speak.

Patrick Henry didn’t get the memo. In five resolutions, he spoke the words of republican liberty. He was met with shouts of “Treason!” Henry concluded with a phrase repeated through the ages, “If this be treason, make the most of it!” His passionate appeal was printed in colonial newspapers, was followed by mob protests, and soon a congress of the states.

Ping for later

"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?

Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, Give me Liberty, or give me Death!"

~Patrick Henry

what you say is true

But all the democrat politicians are the same evil ,socialist demon that Obama is. and all (or practically all ) of the mainstream media reporters are the same as Obama. the media reporters are also democrats

politicians including Pelosi, Reid, Feinstein,Shumer, Hillary Clinton , Obama. are democrats.media reporters are democrats

democrats are the enemy that needs to be defeated

Patrick Henry was a distant ancestor of ours. I am very, very proud to be able to say that. That’s probably why I appreciate Ted Cruz so much and so grateful to say he’s my senator.

Henry deserves more credit than I’ve seen at FR, as a revolutionary, founder and framer.

The establishment Republicans are treating Obamacare as if it was a normal piece of legislation.

Senator Cruz is treating it for what it is...a poison pill that will ultimately kill our freedoms if it is not expelled.
