Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. Almost 200 years ago when our nation was being taxed and perse cuted beyond endurance and some other faint-hearted Americans were crying peace at any price, a Virginia patriot named Patrick Henry arose and said: “They tell us, Sir, that we are weak—unable to cope with so for midable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarm ed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house. Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the elusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak, if we make aproper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our pow er. “Three millions of people, arm ed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, Sirs, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who shall raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, Sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, Sirs, we have not election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no re treat but in submission and slav ery! Our chains are forged. Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston. The war is in evitable; and let it come! I repeat. Sir, let it come! “It is in vain, Sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace!—but there is on peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the North will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field. Why stand we here idle?What is it that the gentlemen wish. What would they have? Is life so dear, slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! or peace so sweet, as to be pur chased at the price of chains and I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” Their Lives, Their Homes, Their Sacred Honor When the “extremists” who wrote the Declaration of Indepen dence assembled in Philadelphia from over the 13 colonies, the first thing to greet them was an anonymous note found on the Speaker’s table: “Take care. A plot is framed for your destruc tion and all of you shall be des troyed.” When the final vote was taken in Independence hall in Philadel phia on July 4th, every man who signed the Declaration took his life in his hands. If Washington’s ragged, outnumbered army could not repulse the British, every signer would be tried for treason to the British crown. Their signa tures could, win or lose, mean that their homes could be burned. If Washington lost, their wives, children, farms would be lost. Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Indepen dence, pledging their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor that this nation, under God, would not perish from the earth?. Five were captured and tortured by the British. Nine fought and died from wounds or hardships of war. Twelce had their homes pillaged and burned. Two lost their sons in battle. Another had two sons cap tured. John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she lay dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His mill and fields were laid waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves. He returned home to find his wife dead and children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaust ion and heartbreak. Norris and Livingstone suffered similar fates. Carter ’Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts and died destitute. Vandals and soldiers looted the properties of Ellery Clymer, Hall, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Rutledge and Middleton. At the battle of Yorktown, Thos. Nelson Jr. urged General Wash ington to open fire on Nelson’s home, which had been taken over by the British General Cornwallis for his headquarters. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died broke. Francis Lewis’ home was des troyed and his wife jailed. She died a few months later. Who were these “super-pat riots”? Twenty-four were lawyers and judges. Eleven were merch ants. Nine were farmers. They all signed the Declaration of Inde pendence knowing that the pen alty would be death if they were captured. I can’t help contrasting them with the fatcat who says he can’t afford to get into this fight to save our Republic from Social ism and surrender, because if and when the comrats take us, he’s hoping they will still let him run his business That’s par for his course. Why could he be expected to save the country NOW? He couldn’t find a uniform to fit him during World War II. When ever any shooting starts, he‘ll always get “deferred.” God Give Us Men! As Churchill said. “If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed— you may have to fight when there is no chance of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” Some people seem to think we have a permanent patent on free dom. Have we become a nation of mental midgets who’ve sold out our freedom birthright for a mess of pottage, who have so long shunned our responsibilities as free citizens that we are now trembling weaklings, brainwashed into self-imposed inferiority com plex, happy-pilled into becoming a nation of sheep, ignoramuses and ostritches, intimidated into a complete lack of faith in our own mental health, lied into accepting what power-mad incompetents say “must be”? Are we to grovel on our knees before amoral agnos tics, avowed atheists, and one- world socialists merging us into a “one-world” with God-hating ty rants ? Are we co cower in palsied ter ror before a dictator? Are we to surrender our lives, our fortunes —our sacred honor, and our children to history’s most anti- God tyranny, while treason marches on? Let us, as free peo ple, now never to bend to any threat, cower before any master, within or without. God grant that we will LIVE free or DIE try ing. God give us MEN!
