Who are the Patrick Henry's of today?

I don't think Henry was trying to supplant the Bible verse; he was merely highlighting the value of experience over inexperience. There is no better way to judge the future than by the past, experience makes this possible.

Have any of you anti-2nd Amendment guys ever read Lott's book, "More Guns, Less Crime"? If you're truly interested in the truth, you may want to check it out; however, if you enjoy regurgitating the Anti-American gun control lobby's talking points, ad nauseum, carry on...

Why is so hard to believe Henry said it? He certainly wasn't afraid to speak up. Some of you have such a deep, built-in bias towards Christianity that it's clouding whatever degree of objectivity you may have. Peoples of other faiths could have simply meant the different denominations, but I think he meant just what he said. Who was it that Jefferson dispatched the Marines to do battle with off the Barbary Coast... Muslim pirates? There's one of the "other faiths"...
