A Republic, if you can keep it

[Vexari]

Driven from every other corner of the earth,
freedom of thought and the right of private judgment
in matters of conscience, direct their course
to this happy country as their last asylum..


~ Samuel Adams ~ (1722-1803)

Was known as the "Father of the American Revolution."

Reader comments about this quote:

By criminal conversion, the last asylum of freedom loving We The People has been driven to hiding. The occupying statist theocracy now infesting this land has, with its government schools of propaganda and missionary media, obscured any thoughts of freedom. Such statist Amerika has replaced private judgment with a nanny police state. This once happy country is now a nation of continual war and rumors of war. That land where matters of conscience were held sacrosanct, is now mandating religious sacraments and doctrines. Liberty has been replaced with compelled compliance, license, victimless crimes, larceny with impunity (funny money, income / property / life taxes) and non-recognition of inalienable rights.
