Our republic is the finest political experiment in human history, set in motion by smart, practical men who valued personal liberty. Many of the men who signed the Declaration of Independence lost everything.
We have freed millions of people around the world from the rule of tyrants. When we are at our best, we truly are the finest nation ever.
Our enterprise will fail when we forget the wisdom of our fathers, when we forget to defend our liberties, and we fail to resist tyrants in our midst.
All good Sons of Liberty will carry these wise thoughts with them. Use them to measure how corrupt and dishonest our political class has become, how polluted our streets have become with people who do not respect our country and culture, and to realize how badly we must join together.
We must remake or replace the Republican Party, make it our party, and throw out the verminous thugs from Chicago. This must be our mission.
Second Amendment
The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference – they deserve a place of honor with all that’s good.
George Washington
Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples’ liberty’s teeth.
George Washington
Arms in the hands of citizens may be used at individual discretion… in private self-defense.
John Adams
When the resolution of enslaving America was formed in Great Britain, the British Parliament was advised by an artful man, who was governor of Pennsylvania, to disarm the people; that it was the best and most effectual way to enslave them; but that they should not do it openly, but weaken them, and let them sink gradually…I ask, who are the militia? They consist of now of the whole people, except a few public officers. But I cannot say who will be the militia of the future day. If that paper on the table gets no alteration, the militia of the future day may not consist of all classes, high and low, and rich and poor.

Property is surely a right of mankind as real as liberty.

More Wisdom
The time is near at hand which must determine whether Americans are to be free men or slaves.

Thomas Paine
The Constitution is the guide which I never will abandon.
George Washington
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 it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.
Thomas Paine
The right of a nation to kill a tyrant in case of necessity can no more be doubted than to hang a robber, or kill a flea.
John Adams
Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.
Thomas Paine
Lead, follow, or get out of the way.
Thomas Paine
The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.
Thomas Paine
When men yield up the privilege of thinking, the last shadow of liberty quits the horizon.
Thomas Paine
It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible.
George Washington
Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth.
George Washington
Mankind, when left to themselves, are unfit for their own government.
George Washington
Fear is the foundation of most governments.
John Adams
Genius is sorrow’s child.
John Adams
‘A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take away everything you have.
Thomas Jefferson
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.
- Benjamin Franklin
Laws that forbid the carrying of arms…disarm only those who are neither inclined or determined to commit crimes. Such laws only make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assassins; they serve to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.
- Thomas Jefferson
The Constitution of most of our states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed.
- Thomas Jefferson
When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe. — Thomas Jefferson
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. — Thomas Jefferson
It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world. — Thomas Jefferson
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. — Thomas Jefferson
My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government. — Thomas Jefferson
No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. — Thomas Jefferson
The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. — Thomas Jefferson
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
– Thomas Jefferson
“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.” — Thomas Jerfferson
