Patriot's Day

[pioneer]

Happy Patriot's Day to all freedom loving Americans. 

April 19th, 1775, the beginning of our war with England at Concord and Lexington, and the birth of our freedom. 
Fought by ARMED CITIZENS.  Never forget it.  Never foresake it!

As Thomas Paine once quoted; " Society in every state is a blessing, but government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one; for when we suffer, or are EXPOSED to the same miseries by a Government, our calamity is heightened."  from Common Sense, 1776.

Oh and after watching another lame debate from those who want to be Pres, (Hillary & Barack), where's Theodore Roosevelt when you need him?

"These are the times that try men's souls", American Crises,

And the Disclaimer; Marshal'ette, I'm just quoting American writers, please don't come after me, I'm sure he meant women as well, There is no doubt you are the RED WHITE & BLUE on this forum.

And I thank you,...

HAPPY PATRIOTS DAY!!!!!!

I, John Robbins, being of lawful Age, do Testifye and say, that on the Nineteenth Instant, the Company under the Command of Captain John Parker, being drawn up (sometime before sun Rise) on the Green or Common, and I being in the front Rank, there suddenly appear’d a Number of the Kings Troops, about a Thousand, as I thought, at the distance of about 60 or 70 yards from us Huzzaing, and on a quick pace towards us, with three Officers in their front on Horse Back, and on full Gallop towards us, the foremost of which cryed, throw down your Arms ye Villains, ye Rebels! upon which said Company Dispersing, the foremost of the three Officers order’d their Men, saying, fire, by God, fire! at which Moment we received a very heavy and close fire from them, at which Instant, being wounded, I fell, and several of our men were shot Dead by one volley. Captain Parker’s men, I believe, had not then fired a Gun." - Militiaman John Robbins’ sworn statement, 24 April 1775, regarding the events of April 19, 1775, in Lexington, Massachusetts

Good show. Too bad 1 man cant make an impact today as he did in his day. We are being assimilated into the collective. You will see 1 man here and again fight, and lose. You will never see a group challenge a governing body again, and win. Those that come to the conclusion that all is lost will become the underground. Those that choose to challenge will become the terrorists of today. http://www.blacklistednews.com/view.asp?ID=6276
