What Right Do They Have To Say

Amongst Other Strange Things Said Of Me, I Hear It Is Said By The Deists That I Am One Of The Number; And Indeed, That Some Good People Think I Am No Christian. This Thought Gives Me Much More Pain Than The Appellation Of Tory; Because I Think Religion Of Infinitely Higher Importance Than Politics; And I Find Much Cause To Reproach Myself That I Have Lived So Long, And Have Given No Decided And Public Proofs Of My Being A Christian. But, Indeed, My Dear Child, This Is A Character Which I Prize Far Above All This World Has, Or Can Boast.

The People Have A Right To Keep And Bear Arms.

My Great Objection To This Government Is, That It Does Not Leave Us The Means Of Defending Our Rights, Or Of Waging War Against Tyrants.

I Have Now Disposed Of All My Property To My Family. There Is One Thing More I Wish I Could Give Them, And That Is The Christian Religion.

Shall We Acquire The Means Of Effectual Resistance By Lying Supinely On Our Backs And Hugging The Delusive Phantom Of Hope, Until Our Enemies Shall Have Bound Us Hand And Foot?
