In the Shadow of the Greats ^

Posted on 04/17/2013 5:12:21 PM PDT by JERussell

“Our country is in danger, but not to be despaired of. Our enemies are numerous and powerful; but we have many friends, determining to be free, and heaven and earth will aid the resolution. On you depend the fortunes of America. You are to decide the important question, on which rest the happiness and liberty of millions yet unborn. Act worthy of yourselves.” ~ Dr. Joseph Warren, 1775

The American Spirit is not in danger.

It is under attack, but it is not endangered.

Freedom and Godliness are ingrained in our Genes. They are not endangered.

On the other hand, Obama and his Liberal/socialist/Marxist followers are endangered. Reality is not on their side.

Truth is not relative...it is absolute.

Sorry Bracky...you are on the wrong side of history...indeed, you are on the wrong side of reality.

Hang tough, Bracky...your sh!te is about to hit the fan.

But on a positive note...God loves you and looks forward to the confession of your sins.

Come on, Bracky...you can do it.

Your eternal life depends on it.

Doctor Warren should forever be remembered and celebrated in these united States. As a general officer he literally fought as a Private. He is famous for his heroic actions, and for his utterances. He wrote to his mother: “Now is no time for any of America’s children to shrink from any hazard. I will set her free or die.”

For his fighting spirit and gallant conduct beyond any imaginable military duty, Joseph Warren should be recommended for a postumous Congresional Medal of Honor.

He is, without a doubt, my favorite founder, even if he’s not always viewed as one of the founders. I believe it was Ronald Reagan that said if he’d survived the war that he would have been listed amongst the greats at the beginning of our nation.
