“These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated.” Thomas Paine, Dec. 23, 1776

Too bad they don't teach this in school anymore as when I was a kid.
Good quote, Rob, and you're right Ts, but you have to remember that the entire purpose of modern "education" is to turn out good little commies.
They don't teach common sense anymore either.
Right
It is sad that you are right, George. When I went to school, the feds had not yet taken over the school systems and the teachers were not unionized. Parents were very much engaged and did not let the school board get away with bs.
That's a different story for a different time
