I only wish citizens of today would be one one hundredth as passionate about their liberties and freedoms as the citizens were in the years following the revolution. Today we take so much for granted. It seems far to many today are interested more in what they will get than what their children will end up with in the future.
I echo James sentiment for knowledge and passion for freedom. One of my grandfather's names was Orange Twiss. The English side of my family was here way early so this history is so interesting. I really enjoyed reading these pieces of history. Robert Jennison 16.. Watertown, Massachusetts. My maiden name was Jennison.
I love your conclusion to this article. You are right! Not only should there never be mandates for medical care, but, if we are to have bodily autonomy, there must not be exemptions given by the government. Thank you for clarifying it.
Cannot say how much I agree with you about religious exemptions not being the solitary route to abstention. Have maintained forever now that the gov should not be able to mandate decision making.
DAMN STRAIGHT! Those Virginians wrote it all while guzzling.. :) , 55 attendees drank a massive total of 164 bottles of alcohol plus seven large bowls of punch.The Bar Tab Breakdown60 bottles of claret (red wine)54 bottles of Madeira (fortified wine)22 bottles of porter (dark ale)12 bottles of beer8 bottles of whiskey8 bottles of hard cider7 large bowls of alcoholic punch
The dinner took place on September 14, 1787, at City Tavern as the Constitutional Convention concluded its work :) YEP. I got from the internet.. Memes showing the "founding fathers" drinking Hard Apple cider .. this is Apple picking time in VA. I have been to most of those places.. my son went to UVA.. amazing campus :) Jefferson deeply influenced John. Thomas Jefferson was really out of the box.. mind of his own thinker.. :) Ok going back to suck down Madeira wine. :) KIDDING .. I am going to read latest book on KIndle. My head is still wrapped up .. went ER and apparently the lump on my head.. maybe an ingrown hair which I scratched so hard it bleed.. have f/u Monday. :) The DSA .. you know I wonder if AOC even realizes that NEW YORK is one the 13 colonies.. was not John Quincy Adams OOPS I LOOKED him "BRAINTREE" Mass. I like him a lot.. and my favorite of course is PATRICK HENRY... people who were educated in VA.. KNOW THEIR STATE HISTORY .. like moi :)
"Medical freedom is a civil liberty." How this is interpreted in modern times is subjective and (it seems to me) often unethical and inhumane. On the one hand, we have excessive vaccine mandates, surely a usurpation of civil liberties. On the other hand, we have people pushing for legalization of MAID ("medical assistance in dying") which I say is Medical Assistance in Dishonesty, because it is nothing other than assisted suicide and so open to the manipulation and victimization of living, individual humans. We are fond of the use of euphemisms for other types of "medical assistance" in these modern times. "Medical assistance." Words matter.
This may be a mite snarky, is a good way: the 1A may have been forged in Virginia but God provided the hammer and anvil.
Ya’know, I wish I could return to Virginia, western/SW VA was always good to and for me but until Virginia becomes a free state again and it is assured it would remain free, I’m resigned to living here.

Wonderful. Sadly, our schools are not teaching Civics and American history well. Only dwelling on the negatives and not the positives.

“Medical freedom is a civil liberty.” I agree. Thank you, Drs. Malones, for these history lessons! I love it.

Yes words matter, particularly when you assume sole authority to determine what they mean.
Milei just spanked the UN...badly.

Good essay, but a bit too much recapitulation, as in the section on back to Hebron. AI's fault?
