Whose liberty is the blood of patriots and tyrants being shed for? Our home grown tyrants or some other country's? America is rapidly slipping into the abyss while our government and media try to convince us who is and is not our enemy. One only needs to examine the character of those elected to the legislative and executive branches of government over the last 115 years to see how morally corrupt our government has become. While a minority of our elected leaders have been good, the majority have been weak ideologues who have spent their time in office championing, or supporting, legislation designed to siphon off the fruits of our nation's labor. Let us not forget the Liberty Tree that stood near the Boston Common in Boston and what became the symbol of liberty for this nation's early patriot movement. Numerous acts of defiance and of resistance to the British Crown's tyranny were carried out under or near the Liberty Tree. We should not forget the symbolic significance of the Liberty Tree and its importance in our nation's battle for independence.
