Patrick Henry's Famous Speech
Everybody should read this.
It includes:
Respect for those in disagreement.
Straightforward and impassioned opinion.
His responsibility is to God first! Then country.
It's almost prophetic, too: we were severely outnumbered and under-equipped. And God did indeed raise up allies, in the form of the French.
Even without looking at its context I consider it an excellent speech

Very worthwhile reading, true. Makes my own efforts at Konos not only pale in comparison, but actually pass out and be rushed to intensive care.
ReplyDeleteEfforts at Konos? Oh...the analogy takes shape before me! The Thaxton's are coming, the Thaxton's are coming!
ReplyDeleteRing out! Ring out wild bells of liberty...wait a second?!?
I love you, dear Thaxtons. :)
