The Constitution
shall never be construed...to prevent the people of the United States
who are
peaceable citizens
peaceable citizens
from keeping their own arms.
If ever a time should come, when
vain and aspiring men
shall possess the highest seats in Government,
our country will stand in need of its
experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.
If ye love wealth greater than liberty,
the tranquility of servitude greater than the
animating contest for freedom . . .
Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you.
May your chains set lightly upon you
and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant
pervert the plain Meaning of Words!
What has commonly been called rebellion
has more often been nothing but a manly and glorious struggle in opposition of the
lawless power of rebellious kings and princes.
It does not require a majority to prevail,
but rather an irate, tireless minority
keen to set brush fires in people's minds.
