Patrick henry give me liberty or give me death!

[president808]

I see people think that the government is the problem, but it is NOT. It is us, the people, the PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. We have not participate in any political hearings. I know that there is one American that knows the solution for our modern day crisis. I plead to AMERICANS, step up and participate in political hearings. All ideas are taken seriously at hearings. because the phrase WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is as powerful as GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!

Politicians and Banks killed this magnificent country.

If the colonist's had approached the most determined members of the British Methodist Church, then the Methodist's could have put real pressure on London to listen to colonial grievances. The war could have been avoided!...i say this because the Methodists back then were very smart! watch>>"John Wesley sermon-Thoughts On War"

[dukejamestown]

share this and other things of importance ,help us help our selfs, break free from the chains ,help the blind see the big picture ,start talking about it grasp the attension of your fellow man do your part to open closed eyes , all is not lost ,there is no better time than now ,they want you to be silent our children will not have the means to fight if we the people of the united states of america continue to let the government that is suposed to serve us strip us of our rights , MIND CONTROLE

[vpertoso]

The speech is germane today, just replace references to England and King George III with today's Fed Gov who is destroying the Bill-of-Rights with the enactment of laws like the Patriot Act and the resent military appropriations bill. The Professional Military and National Guard Units are now being canvased to find out who among them will follow orders to disarm us and/or kill us. He warned in 1775 about England's chains of slavery, today the Fed Gov is forging new chains of slavery for us.

[SmokeTheHerb]

One of the most monumental speeches ever given in the history of the human species.

[GiveMeLiberty3]

His speech is where I take my name from.

[Dewdaahman]

Live Free Or Die.. silence is acceptance hence we speak out.. traitors can expect they "..shall be drawn to the gallows, not walking or carried.."

[KD95013]

i think he was getting a little too into the speech lol but still awesome!

[peaceln]

whoa awesome

[Musicombo]

As those words being said, all i could think of is people in Palestine. this is a perfect example of what they are going through.

[suzukiguapz]

this is a great help to me... i'll be performing this for our project in speech communication... thanks to the uploader.... Philippines admires great heroes of America......

[truthseeker370]

Patrick Henry: the great unsung American hero. His name barely has a mention in modern history classes, and yet he probably had one of the greatest impacts that any one man did.

[caleb1rshelton]

hearing this speach almost brings tears...and reading these comments makes me proud to see that there are still people who believe in freedom and the ideals on which this once great nation was founded

[Nicole4211]

Incredible... where is this now? When did we lose this passion for our country? The love is still there in our souls. No American can listen to this and not be deeply moved and feel a strong sense of patriotism. Sadly now the fight needs to be directed at the shadow govt that is taking over our country and the world.

[skyehoyt1971]

That my friends was no wet blanket.

[MrMrEinstein]

See the Fema death camps on youtube. Yeap the government is on the move to take your gun's away. Welcome to the New World Order!

[1776SonofLiberty]

WE NEED ANOTHER PATRICK HENRY TODAY!!!

We are facing an even greater tyranny in America now and our nation is in need of her patriots to resist it! Liberty or death.....

[jenean94]

THAT WAS FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!

[TheUNRIVALED1]

Very Powerful speech.Sadly God Doesnt make`em like he use to.

[GiveMeLiberty3]

Give me liberty!!!

[PATNA1000]

1 person does not want liberty

[GiveMeLiberty3]

@PATNA1000 Then does he want death?

[Jupiterironman]

And Fools Say this is not a Christian Nation!!!!!

[patriot1775]

@Jupiterironman as a Christian I try to peacefully influence others to be Christian, as an American I defend one's right to practice whatever religion they want

[TheDaVeN011]

that was a video

[Original50]

There's a huge disparity between homeland-security and civil-liberty, I would say...

If these guys were alive today, their homes would have been ransacked by the ATF long-ago and their names put on an FBI watch-list :O)

[patriot1775]

@Original50 I've always thought of the F.B.I. as being more honest than the D.H.S. and A.T.F. could ever be, the watch list belongs to the D.H.S., maybe I'm wrong

[Original50]

@patriot1775 : Honesty is not a term apply to an organ of state-security, because their role is to preserve the continuity of the system that employs them. The sad thing is, every administrative/executive agency has it's own watch-list, because they each have specific roles and areas of interest, but they rarely share or combine them with each other. Whilst it can cause cluster-f*cks like 9/11, it's possibly this incoherence which also keeps you as free, in relative terms, as you are :O)

[josquine]

is this his real voice?

[gengenpie]

i wish to know what Mr. Henry felt, i wish to know his emotions. I wish i had heard him saying this speech.

[nexivdr]

@gengenpie open your eyes and look around the world today, that might give you a clue what he meant.

[AmericanPoliceState]

To be honest had the founding fathers lived by some miracle to this point in time, they would have already marched on washington with cannons, muskets and started tearin shit up.

[ZawBanjito]

@AmericanPoliceState Why cannons and muskets? Would they have become too senile to buy modern weapons? How would they walk, let alone march, if that was the case?

[Monopoly907]

Give Me liberty OR GIVE ME DEATH!

[Dewdaahman]

a message to the globalist elite "..shall be drawn to the gallows, not walking or carried.."

[SmokeBojangles]

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C. The New throne.

[kenziesvidoes]

He's a real freakin person

[plinko77]

Our revolution bankrupted France. They provided uniforms, guns and a much needed naval blocked.

[jfarris4417]

I stand ready.

[vpertoso]

Good to hear from you Patriot! This is the greatest Nation the world has ever known.

[Quiksilver209]

@vpertoso WAS the greatest nation the world ever knew.

[chikiout]

@Quiksilver209; still CAN BE the greatest nation the world will know.

[vpertoso]

Our Federal Republic is now treating the American people in the same manner that King George treated us 230 years ago. We all know how that ended. My God favor us once more.

[smoochym]

"We all know how that ended"

Yeah, with the French Navy coming to save your ass.

Can't see that happening again though.

[SemperFi92]

@smoochym Whom may I ask has come to save the Frenches ass twice in less then 50 years? The United States of America. When the french are running from the enemy, we are running towards the enemy and kicking ass. ohh and by the way, the french did not save our ass, they simply shortend the time for wich it

[smoochym]

I was joking around, but i seriously doubt America would of had much chance of winning without the French navy blockading ports and preventing reinforcements. Whats more, many British people simply didn't care about the colonies at the time as we gained 5 times more revenue from Jamaica than North America. The biggest battle of the war was fought in Gibraltar, nowhere near North America.

[SemperFi92]

@smoochym would take us to win the war. France had a Revolution, and saught created another king to rule them, We created a government which we would elect after a predetermind period of time, to reprsent us, with the right to bear arms with the duty to overthrow a tyranical government, garenteed in our decloration of indapendance.

[SemperFi92]

@vpertoso Amen

[bkerndt]

@vpertoso

God, and the millions of informed citizens willing to give their lives for freedom favor us. Our military in overwhelming numbers favors our cause. It is not only those who have wealth to lose this time, but everyone who knows we have our hard fought for LIBERTY to lose that will join this battle. GMLOGMD!

[700sps1]

@vpertoso so true you are . and i hope more people than you and i stand to defend our nations cause.

[RATDOSJR]

I think this speech should be played the president and the vice president and MRS. Pelsisco and Mr. Reid.

[Kayyyleeealltheewaay]

or maybe its is

[Kayyyleeealltheewaay]

idts because this wus in the 1700s so idk how they wuld get his voice

[Sorry4nothing10]

is this the actual voice of patrick?

just a question...

[LettersOfCentinel76]

lol

[Woodey101]

What????????

[Woodey101]

OMG....I have no idea how to respond....

[radconserv86]

@Sorry4nothing10 please tell me you're joking,

[chriscoolguy15]

This is a great speech but the man who is speaking these words lacks passion and anger which the original speaker had when he spoke these words. I cant feel any emotion in his voice, please try something else like Shakespeare, you have a better voice for that. Don't misunderstand I mean no disrespect just something that is less direct and more common, criticism.

[Celestia1993]

wow. great speech! We're reading this right now in English class!

[Sorry4nothing10]

were do you live....cause me i will speech to in our English class^_^

[Celestia1993]

I live in the suburbs of Pennsylvania. That should give you a good idea of where I live, I'm not saying any more.

[Sorry4nothing10]

is this the actual voice?

[tomdenig]

what is wrong with you?

[Sorry4nothing10]

@tomdenig lol

[llarlamon7758]

3Gallagher this NWO group not only want to enslave us all, but murder 80 % of the Earth's population. Go read their own words. Our govt. has become their puppets. They laugh at us and think we are mere ignorant peasants.

[llarlamon7758]

3Gallagher they did have govt. It was England and just as they had to use arms to aquire peace and sovereignty so we to will sadly have to do the same. Our govt. has been owned by banks and corporations for over 100 years and is now making a NWO.

[3fatkid]

AMEN PATRICK! AMEN!

[mrslagle1]

Magnificent. Being a VIrginian my self, this fills my soul with inspiration for the cause to stand out and do what is right. "Why stand idle".

[olddominion394]

I am a virginian too , nothing makes me more proud than to here one of my virginian forefathers tell it like it is, it stands evident even today Sic Semper Tyrannis! God bless you my fellow countryman!

[DarthTigreros62]

This angers me.  Patrick Henry held slaves and yet he invented this great phrase. Anyway his slave took it to heart and escape.

[3Gallagher]

I would say that it rings as true today, as it did then, and that of those whom we must overcome, many come from within our own land. We must overcome this time, not by force of arms, but by the Force of Truth that shall go forth to remind each one of us that we are One Nation of people who care for each other, and that no longer will we agree to set ourselves against another to do the bidding of those whose only purpose is exploitation, profit and greed.

[craigclanof4]

@3Gallagher It will take arms. They don't care about truth. THAT is an illusion of hope that henry spoke of.

[3Gallagher]

@craigclanof4 Perhaps. However, violence plants the seeds for more violence. At that time they did not have an elected Congress, nor President. They did not have a Government defined by Law.

The problem they faced was primarily from without. The problem we face is primarily from within. The "they" we face is, in fact, US...our complacency and our willingness to be divided by political ideology and personal agendas. The use of weapons will not resolve this problem. Principled leadership might.

[TheCuppycakedelight5]

we are living in the last days of earths' history. I lament at this moment that i haven't sounded this cry as often as i should have. By Gods' grace i will continue now. Jesus is trying to get our attention. He loves you all. He's calling you to come out of the world and be saved. It's in Him only that we have hope. All True goodness comes from Him. If we learn from Him WE won't cease to be amazed

[raw5069]

@TheCuppycakedelight5 james chapter 5 brother james chapter 5

[TheCuppycakedelight5]

@raw5069 amen brother or sister

[notsoblackops]

I agree with you eliz, it dose ring more true today, then it did then.

[jeson86]

Store food, guns and ammo.

[elizjwaxb]

Rings more true today...than it did then

[hevidt]

magnificent and compelling...
