This one was posted several weeks ago and got a lot of response, including a flame war. It was pretty revealing of a couple of people who had been heroes just the day before by winning one of those essay poetry contests by whoever it is that puts up that quote of the day thing.

I guess this one gets posted here from time to time. It's one that bears reposting a few times a year at least until we've taken it to heart.

Bump for a true and honorable Patriot!

A man's country is not a certain area of land, of mountains, rivers, and woods, but it is a principle; and patriotism is loyalty to that principle.
-- George William Curtis

The closed door and the sealed lips are prerequisites to tyranny.
--Frank L. Stanton

Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.
--Thomas Paine

Let us be poised, and wise, and our own, today.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

You are correct that this article gets posted from time to time...this probably accounts for why the hits don't number into the several hundreds.

That said, it rings true with each reading.
