I think it was done by a group called "The Back Porch Majority" that I heard in my teenage years and some of the words have stuck with me over the years.. something like:

Liberty's Weight is a heavy load
It takes a strong man's heart to carry that load..

to listen to each word
and know what it means...


I can't remember the rest the idea that it takes work to maintain our liberty
and
it takes an educated, informed citizen to apply the critical thinking skills they SHOULD have learned in high school to separate the "wheat from the chafe" of political discourse.

Great post...thanks.
