56 Men Of Conviction « ELLIOT LAKE NEWS & VIEWS
I came across this well researched and finely written piece this morning. It tells the stories of the lessor known signers of the Declaration of Independence.
I fully expect to get hammered by the Hate America First Brigade, as I also expect the blog that I found this in to be. Having said that; Those men suffered for the freedoms that we enjoy today, many did in fact die for them. These were not, just a bunch of “Old dead white men” as they are so often characterized. They had hopes, and dreams. As well as honor, and no small amount of raw courage.
When, I ask, have the NeoComms ( My term for Neo Communist) done anything that even comes close to what the men written about did?

Elliott Lake News has come out with fine journalism, as you say. My problem with them is the same as with anyone who seems to have extreme opinions which are not tempered by tolerance.
There is a time for anger and vitriol. Fair enough. Just don’t take it to the extreme which condones violence.
Can’t see it ? Ask any Iraqi.
