"Live Free or Die"

“Live free or die; death is not the worst of evils.” The famous words of General John Stark written for the 32nd anniversary of the 1777 Battle of Bennington that were in part adopted as the motto for the State of New Hampshire after another infamous struggle for freedom, the Second World War. In the same vein as the famous words of Patrick Henry do they evoke a spirit lost in the United States?
Many of our founding fathers invested all they had to forge a nation out of raw wilderness, aspiring to the highest ideals most simply stated as liberty. The signers of the Declaration of Independence, patriots of the same stock, are another shining example of what was required to lay the foundations of the greatest nation the world has ever seen to date. Putting their very lives on the line, many served the military struggle themselves. Several gave up their family wealth for the cause and the majority had their homes and properties destroyed by the British. Suffering not only financial ruin and imprisonment their sacrifices deprived many of health. A significant number continued in public service throughout their lives.
Today there are many that would eagerly deny us those hard won liberties. They breed distrust for ones fellow man and declare inherent supremacy on grounds of ideology, economic and social status, a supposed enlightened intellect and even the weather. As Islamo-fascists seek to destroy our very way of life those who would tell us how to eat, what we can drive and even what is or is not a sin, in both politics and media, seek to vilify and demoralize our troops fighting in this great and noble struggle. Yes, our troops are the noble ones in case any are confused. Our troops who risk life and limb giving up greater pay and benefits to serve our great country and make the world a better place for all.
I am not one to support violence but there is no peace through surrendering our liberty or allowing the freedom of others to be lost. On June 27th the movie “Live Free or Die Hard” is opening across the nation and I believe many across this blessed country are thinking as I am. As the Islamo- fascists threaten the freedom of all peoples, and their allies in the mainstream media shameless operate their propaganda machine, what better way to show our support for our troops and demoralize the enemy than to make this movie a record breaker at the box office. I am talking from the first showing being lined up and if you can’t get in buying a ticket for the next available show and showing up to watch it. Let the world know before the weekend even begins that those who think to terrorize the United States into submission face only one end. Say to the terrorists, their willing allies in the media and any who would deny another of freedom;
Yippee Kahee Eh.
