We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you.

Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned - we have remonstrated - we have supplicated - we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne." <br />Patrick HenryJames Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03361390025161676350noreply@blogger.com
