Well Said Then, Worth Saying Again

I'm simply overwhelmed with our current national situation in light of the passage of ObamaCare. In the wake of such destruction, I'm left with so many questions: How did we get here? What can we do now to fight back against those who would like to destroy our liberty? What effect will this mandate have on my family? How do you stop an out of control government that will legislate against the will of the people?

In light of these questions and others, I am encouraged when I think about what the founders of this great country overcame as they contemplated a revolution. They had a vision of a free society that would be committed to protect our God given personal liberties. They understood that the government should be both small and limited. In spite of overwhelming odds against them, they were willing to give up everything in the name of freedom. Are we?

I have included a link to my father's blog where you can read the words of a great man, Patrick Henry. His words were applicable when they were originally spoken and equally as necessary today. How grievous it is that this great nation overcame one tyranny only to replace it with another tyrannical government 200 years later. Progress? I don't think so?
