Some of the most famous American words ever spoken.

Now we have people eager to give away every single right they have because a virus they likely won't catch and almost certainly won't kill them is on the tv.

Best part is the beginning of that quote.

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

Patrick Henry is a legend no doubt.
This is my goto man in these times, however.

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”

Ronald Reagan

Here's another one that Dems, liberals and the media have come to abhor -

"ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country."

and let's not forget c-note

Benjamin Franklin once said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

This is a fallacy. No one is trying to steal your rights and no one is willing to give them up. When this is over, the bill of rights are not going to be legislated out of existence. You people are just being stupid.

They already did away with it with no legislation required.

If the entire bill of rights can be suspended with the stroke of a governor's pen, it's completely imaginary to begin with.

If JFK were alive today he'd be branded a Nazi by today's Democrats.

Yep. He made it effectively impossible for the average citizen to own an automatic weapon. He would later lend his support to the 1994 AWB.

It would be the modern day equivalent of Trump signing a bill putting all semi-autos on the NFA list and banning any further production of them, then supporting a handgun ban a few years later when out of office.

and he would also bankrupt the Soviets with an arms race and defeat the greatest threat to the west in the history of the world, without so much as firing a shot and you call this man a cuck
