Can we re-awaken the Spirit of Sam Adams?
Nobody Reads Samuel Adams: A Life by Ira Stoll
One of the most horrible mistakes and unforgiveable habits of our public education system, is that the actual words written by our founding fathers are never even mentioned in any classroom. And one of the problems with getting rid of our libraires and putting in computers is that many books, just won’t go online.
If WOKE A.I. is allowed to rule, the actual words written by our founders will be lost forever. It’s bad enough that you have to buy a book to see them.
So, I’m going to put some quotes of Sam Adams…who had just as much to do with the revolution as the future presidents. He was on the X platform of his day. He wrote and published his revolutionary ideas in pamphlets, which were delivered all over Boston.
Here’s a few examples from Ira’s book:
“Let us awaken then, and evince a different spirit,—a spirit that shall inspire the people with confidence in themselves and in us, —a spirit that will encourage them to persevere in this glorious struggle, until their rights and liberties shall be established on a rock.” Samuel Adams, 1777.”
Our schools do not teach much about Sam. His first wife and four of their children died of natural causes before the war. At the Battle of Bunker Hill British officers decapitated Samuel Adam’s close friend Joseph Warren and presented his head as a trophy to the British commanding general. He spent 3 years in Congress away from his second wife and two children. His own house in Boston was vandalized by British troops so badly that it was uninhabitable. Sam’s head was at top of the list of the King, who wanted him dead.
AND YET…at the age of 55, Sam Adams gave this talk of encouragement to Congress:
“If we despond, public confidence is destroyed, the people will no longer yield their support to a hopeless contest, and American liberty is no more. Through the darkness which shrouds our prospects the ark of safety is visible. Despondency becomes not the dignity of our cause, nor the character of those who are its supporters. “
As I read these words, I hope for that same spirit today? Is it possible?
Or have they already defeated us?
Nobody Wins in America, if we don’t rekindle the that same spirit of Sam Adams.
And that’s why Biden has turned January the 6th into an insurrection. They fear another Sam Adams. And that day, there were many.
All it takes is one.
About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
