Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?

Today I think many in the USA would answer yes to this.

Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!

Patrick Henry March 23, 1775

Death to tyrants and usurpers.
