We offer his borrowed words now…
The documentarian went on to quote comments made by Abraham Lincoln during a January 1838 speech to a group in Springfield, Illinois:
From whence shall we expect the approach of danger? Shall some trans-Atlantic military giant step the earth and crush us at a blow? Never. All the armies of Europe, Asia, and Africa could not by force take a drink from the Ohio River or make a track on the Blue Ridge in the trial of a thousand years. No, if destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men, we will live forever or die by suicide.
“We’re looking right down the muzzle of that gun,” Burns added.
I simply write/share words at this website in the hope that we simply wake up/grow up and live by freedoms fundamental daily need… RESPONSIBILITY.
