Political Quotes

“Most of the founders of our country were deeply religious. You wouldn't know that by reading our textbooks. They have been bled dry of any meaningful reference to how religious our founders were. One of those founders was Patrick Henry. And his words, some of his words may be in our textbook, ``Give me liberty or give me death.'' But I will bet you the textbook will not include the context of this. This was said on March 23, 1775, at St. John's Church in Richmond, Virginia; and this is what he said. ``An appeal to arms and the God of hosts is all that is left us. But we shall not fight our battle alone. There is a just God that presides over the destinies of nations. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone. 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.''”
