John Heiter Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 (edited) Most of the words that come out of my mouth are no longer applicable 20 minutes later, much less 200 years from now. Samuel Adams did not have that problem. The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men.Samuel Adams Edited September 11, 2009 by John Heiter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Hefta Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 They had balls, because they had to have them to survive, we being modern Americans take our liberties and rights for granted. They did not have that option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
