Give me Liberty or give me death
Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. If I am a right wing extremist, so be it, however when it is to defend liberty then it is not wrong, but entirely necessary. I do not believe in more government, but less unfortunately the new socialism in Washington, believes in absolute government from birth to grave. They will trample our liberties down to get to their goal.

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, 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!
Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience, is incompatible with freedom. No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue; and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.
The great object is, that every man be armed.
