Churchill, Mr. Henry & Trump II

The White House published a Presidential Message on the 251st anniversary of Patrick Henry's famous speech given in the Henrico Parish Church (later renamed St. John's Church) on Richmond's Churchill. 

Trump II's message focused on the famous line "Give me Liberty or Give Me Death."  Trump has usurped this to "Give Me (whatever I want) or I will Give You hurt (possibly including death)."

Here's how one author summarized Trump II:

"Trump's playbook - built on domination, disruption, and relentless self-promotion—breaks every conventional rule of leadership yet often achieves results through sheer force of will"

It breaks nearly ever Biblical commandment as well.

Here's the part of Patrick Henry's famous speech the White House did not include in its special message:   

We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? 

For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it. I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging the future but by the past. 

And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves and the House. Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received? Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss. 

Ask yourselves how this gracious reception of our petition comports with those warlike preparations which cover our waters and darken our land. Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled that force must be called in to win back our love? 

Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements of war and subjugation; the last arguments to which kings resort. I ask gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it?

May I offer an update?

"What means this domestic martial array (ICE, Palantir, Anduril, Hadrian, Flock, FBI purchased citizen location data)?  For what purpose Sir?  And this from people who claim to be Libertarians?  Liberty for them but not for all?  Hogwash!  

Give me a President who wishes to serve, not to be served!  One who would cast off the eye of intrusion in daily life and return government to supporting the common good, not  surveilling the common man.

What good is it to have a dossier on every citizen, where various monarchical ministries know more about us than we know about ourselves?  And why are there dank shadows where this light of constant inspection never reach?  What is hiding there?

Who is hiding there?  They who prey on the young and innocent.  They who twist our faith for their earthly purposes of greed and power accumulation.  They who tariff our tea for the king's purse and call it beautiful.  Travesty!

It's purpose must be to take our very souls while protecting the profiteers and the king's henchmen!  Have you no decency, Mr. Thiel?  Give me real Libertarians, not apartheid replants!  

And this would be king, my God he is insufferable.  Surely, other branches of government have checked him and found him wanting?  

Why is everyone so quiet?"
