"Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say, 'What should be the reward of such sacrifices?' Bid us and our posterity bow the knee, supplicate the friendship, and plough, and sow, and reap, to glut the avarice of the men who have let loose on us the dogs of war to riot in our blood and hunt us from the face of the earth? If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!" --Samuel Adams

And also...
"Is peace so sweet or life so dear as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God! I know not what course others may take but, as for me, give me Liberty or Give me Death!" Patrick Henry
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.
