I don't know the origin. But I like it.
A strong reminder of another quote that I often use....
"We only have those rights that we can defend, and only those freedoms that we choose to defend." Once we choose to surrender a freedom, we cannot ever be guaranteed of getting it back, so we must be constantly vigilant of what we give away.

Yep, and that generation is currently occupying the White House.
If we don't fight against them, we are in big trouble of losing our beloved country.
