“Give me liberty, or give me death?”

In 1775, Patrick Henry gave an impassioned speech at the 1775 Virginia Convention, where he used those words to convince the Virginia House of Burgesses to get Virginia troops to fight in the Revolutionary War.

What would he write today? I suspect that he would be sickened with what our government is doing to this land of Liberty and Freedom.

It’s no longer Liberty that our population yearns for, it’s to be molly-coddled by our government at someone else’s expense. It’s now “Give me government benefits and entertainment.” Shame on us.

We need Freedom and Liberty for all. That’s what made this  country great, individualism not socialism.

It’s no longer “Give me liberty, or give me death,” it’s give me someone else’s money so I can sponge off society. Freedom and Liberty are slipping away. Drip, drip, drip.

What have we done? Where did we go wrong?
