Patrick Henry's "Give me Liberty or give me Death" speech is something which should be read by every student in today's high school and "compare and contrast" what was happening then and what is happening how. Here's but a snippet:
"But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if, entertaining as I do opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. The questing before the House is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. 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."
Read it and learn what our founding fathers were up against. This will get more and more intense because the end of the Church Age is fast coming to a close. The Muslims are getting more emboldened and will continue until they are decimated by Jesus Christ in the Battle of Armageddon while trying to snuff out Israel.
