Kick-Ass Samuel Adams Quote

by freenut @ 11:16 am. Filed under activism, history, liberty, politics

Man, this Sam Adams quote is just awesome:

“If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”
