If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
-Samuel Adams
As I think about the meaning of this 4th of July and with everything that is happening in our country I think back to these words of Samuel Adams. I was asked what it meant to be Patriotic? Does it mean allowing the Government do as they please because they must know what their doing their Congressmen and Senators? No, it does not what it does mean though is questioning everything they say,do, and think. Adding all these new regulations, new laws and putting all these burdens onto the public is not what the founding fathers had in mind when they founded this great nation of ours. This weekend in between the fireworks, drinking, and partying take time out to think about what all went into founding this great nation of ours. The sacrifices of lives and monies. It is time for all to reconsider their role in this Nation of ours. Will you be the out-spoken ever diligent freedom fighter warrior,the news paper reader who ends up mad right before work, or the slug who "doesn't want to bother themselves with such a dirty topic" type of individual. Which ever you choose just remember that when the people in D.C. and your capitol make their decisions they WILL effect YOUR life rather you did anything or not. As always remember to be safe and thank God for all that you have been Blessed with.
