The Militia Is Our Ultimate

Should I Keep Back My Opinions At Such A Time, Through Fear Of Giving Offense, I Should Consider Myself As Guilty Of Treason Towards My Country, And Of An Act Of Disloyalty Toward The Majesty Of Heaven, Which I Revere Above All Earthly Kings.

Are We At Last Brought To Such An Humiliating And Debasing Degradation, That We Cannot Be Trusted With Arms For Our Defense?

Show Me That Age And Country Where The Rights And Liberties Of The People Were Placed On The Sole Chance Of Their Rulers Being Good Men, Without A Consequent Loss Of Liberty?

Fear Is The Passion Of Slaves.

Is Life So Dear Or Peace So Sweet As To Be Purchased At The Price Of Chains And Slavery? Forbid It, Almighty God! I Know Not What Course Others May Take, But As For Me, Give Me Liberty, Or Give Me Death!
