Not so much.

An armed Jew, or group of Jews, could at least have died trying to protect their children from massacre by Einsatzgruppen...rather than having themselves and their loved ones lined up before a firing squad like livestock before a slaughter. The brave spirit and courageous determination of armed resistance when facing death standing ground against evil tyranny, something our Forefathers embraced, encouraged, and understood, truly escapes you. Color me unsurprised in disgust and disdain.

Actually the American Revolution was only undertaken with the greatest of reluctance.

"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes"

Education is a wonderful thing. You should try it sometime, dumbass.

Was any of that in the Declaration of Independence?

By the way, earlier in that same famous Patrick Henry speech are these words:

"And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves and the House."

Ten years, Iky. Yep, Patrick Henry wanted war so badly he waited ten years to get it started.

Idiot. Go back to church, you brainless prat.

How long he waited before he took up arms and encouraged others to do so is a moot point.

Patrick Henry:

I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us! They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave.


You're going to make a pretty easy target lying there supinely on your back hugging your pillow of phantom hope, Beav. Pity.

Let's try again.

I said: "Actually the American Revolution was only undertaken with the greatest of reluctance."

You posted what Patrick Henry said after ten years of not starting a revolution.

In other words, it took Patrick Henry at least ten years to undertake a revolt against the Crown.

I'd say "reluctance" is putting it mildly.

But then I have a brain.

Then use the brain that you claim to have and admit that seen easily from just this one speech, Patrick Henry embraced, encouraged, and understood the brave spirit and courageous determination of armed resistance while facing death standing ground against evil tyranny.

Just as I posted.

He was NOT in favor of waiting until citizens were "totally disarmed".

Or is that still escaping you and your brain?

Side note:

"Give me liberty or give me death!"

Ironic, coming from a slave owner.

...was the British Crown confiscating the colonists' guns?

You are completely living in your own fantasy world, aren't you?
