Today March 23rd is the 237th anniversary of the speech given by Patrick Henry to the Virginia Convention at St. John’s Church in Richmond VA. Patrick Henry delivered his famous speech on March 23, 1775. This speech is one of the critical turning points in our history that moved the Virginia House of Burgesses to send the Virginia troops to join the Revolutionary War. A very famous and uniquely American quote came from this speech by Patrick Henry. “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!”
To me this quote has more meaning than ever as we approach the total loss of freedom that our Founding Fathers risked everything for.
This God given Liberty, protected by the U.S. Constitution, has been under attack for decades. Starting with Woodrow Wilson attacking the Constitution with all the total bull about how it’s a “fluid document” and “it has to be interpreted for modern times.” The assault was accelerated by FDR who completely ignored the Constitution and instituted unconstitutional and massive entitlements. These entitlements have continued to grow to this day, to the point of completely bankrupting this country. The current administration smells the final death of this great republic and freedom. The doors are closing and in fact it may be too late. There is so much in place; this great Republic may not survive as a Republic based on Individual Liberty.
With all that is happening, it only seems appropriate to take a look at ourselves on the anniversary of these famous words and do some real soul searching. Have you really taken Patrick Henry’s famous words to heart? Our founding fathers did. They risked EVERYTHING, including property and life to fight for liberty. They made the choice to live free or die. They literally fought for their freedom. They lived it and meant it, and their actions PROVE IT! Thank God they did or we would have never tasted Liberty and all that goes with it.
Now as we are on the verge of forever losing it, have you considered these words? Would you actually make the same choices? Would you risk EVERYTHING for freedom?
You better figure it out soon…….you are quickly being thrust upon a point in history in which you will have to make that choice.
May God Bless America! America needs God’s blessing more than ever!
