5. Oh, this is sweet...the firebrand among the revolutionaries. K&R
Patrick Henry took no prisoners when it came to liberty and self determination. As a young man, he
was a bit of a rogue, a cad of sorts. His family steered him into politics and he found his home.

These sentences are a warning, a call to arms, telling us that there are somethings more important
than just leading lives of "quiet desperation," which is what the current crowd of tyrants wants
from us.

Senator Roberts is an enemy of the people. The entire process of armor plating our society in the
form of total "security" began because the FBI couldn't figure out how to read a memo from the agent
in Arizona who pointed out that there were a lot of Arabs taking flight lessons. This would have
stopped everything, if acted upon. The nasty little flight school in Florida would have been a
prime target and that would be that. How we get from failing to read a memo, bureaucratic pathos, to
the surrender of all of our liberties is beyond me or anyone else with a rational mind.

Great post. We will not surrender our liberties. We will retake power and expose the profiteers.

It will happen. Memorialize that Sen. Roberts.
