“Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.” Wendell Phillips

While serving as an agent to England as the colonial minister to France, Benjamin Franklin was unconvinced that the American Colonies should seek anything but to repair their wounded relationship with England. Back in Boston, Samuel Adams was “rousing the rabble” known as the Sons of Liberty while Franklin was being lavishly entertained and assured of the mother country’s good intentions. But in 1771, he traveled to Ireland where he was given a tour of the country on a carefully selected route.

In Franklin’s typical quest for truth, he asked his driver to deviate from their course and take him into the countryside to see the Irish farms. What he saw made such an impression, he immediately changed his position both on England’s intentions for the American Colonies, and on a need for a declaration of independence; entire villages of men, women and children living in holes in the ground, dressed in rags, on the verge of starvation, and working land confiscated from them, and now owned by lords. What he saw was England’s eventual plan for the American Colonies.

Could that one driver who courageously disobeyed his masters have known the significance of that one small act? Liberty is often the result of providence.

Howard Roark’s Courtroom Speech:

This is inspiring:

Patriot: “One who loves his country and zealously supports its authority and interests.”

That’s according to Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, while Oxford’s, at least on the surface, is not that different:

Patriot: “person who loves his country, esp one who is ready to defend it against an enemy: a true patriot“

So then how does one explain those that we Americans consider our greatest patriots; men such as Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, John Adams, and Noah Webster; when their country didn’t even exist until 1789, thirteen years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence?

The right to keep and bear arms has its roots deep in history. Over the course of several years, I have assembled a collection of sources referencing this fact. Feel free to use these sources, but please credit me, particularly given the amount of time it took to assemble these quotes. Thank you. Matt Fitzgibbons (PatriotMusic.com)

BC Plato: Laws

“Further, at all seasons of the year, summer and winter alike, let them be under arms and survey minutely the whole country; thus they will at once keep guard, and at the same time acquire a perfect knowledge of every locality. There can be no more important kind of information than the exact knowledge of a man’s own country; and for this as well as for more general reasons of pleasure and advantage, hunting with dogs and other kinds of sports should be pursued by the young. The service to whom this is committed may be called the secret police, or wardens of the country; the name does not much signify, but every one who has the safety of the state at heart
will use his utmost diligence in this service.”

In March of 1797, 65 year-old President George Washington went to Congress Hall in Philadelphia for the swearing in ceremony of John Adams as the second President of United States. Adams noted that Washington seemed to be in a strangely happy mood. The following day, President Adams wrote to his wife Abigail:

“He seemed to me to enjoy a triumph over me. Methought I heard him say, ‘Ah! I am fairly out and you fairly in! See which of us will be the happiest!””. John Adams, March 5th, 1797
