Patriot Perspective
Open Thread: Patriots' Day 2012
The Battle of LexingtonToday in 1775, the first shots of the American Revolution were fired at Lexington, Massachusetts, when about 40 militiamen formed ranks against 700 British Red Coats on their way to Concord.
"Don't fire unless fired upon. But if they want a war let it begin here." --Captain John Parker, commander of the militiamen at Lexington, Massachusetts, on sighting British Troops

And we have once again been fired upon. Do not forget to vote this November, and make sure you take a friend with you!

Yes and the audacity that those militia men displayed was phenominal! They were farmers and merchants taking the field against the most powerful and modern army of its time - the British Army regulars. Yes ... Brian has it right, we have once again been fired upon and now we have the right, the duty to fire back! The Socialists havee declared war upon our freedoms when they elected this a**clown that currently occupies the White House. We must fight back and preserve our God Given rights that the Bill of Rights recognizes - that vast sphere of INDIVIDUAL SOVEREIGNTY before the few that are left are gone forever. We Americans have grown fat, lazy, and stupid and we have slackened our vigilance for our Liberties. We trusted the Government too much. Now we are wide awake and I pray that it is not too late.Never vote for a Progressive as they are Socialists in disguise.

Son of Liberty, you are too kind, the progressives are communists. The socialists are the Republican leaders (still an oxymoron). If the Republican Leaders were around in 1775 we would have a queen instead of a king (oops President, I keep making that mistake). Don't think so, then why does Romney want no part of what Ted Nugent said?

Sir: I always enjoy reading your thought provoking articles and today was no exception.However by closing it with a plea for donations to your drive only cheapens the original intent of the piece.While I'm sure we as conservatives exhibit the same principles as the founders using their deeds as a fund raiser is in poor taste.

Sad that the area whose men showed courage and bravery to begin a revolution of liberty has been replaced by men, from this same area, who believe socialism, communism and liberal idiotic lunacy. Nevertheless, for those of US who still cling on to the glorious beliefs of our Founders: God Bless Our Republic and may the Stars and Stripes fly Forever!!!
