Put your skin in the game

Your most important political opinion is the one that never changes, never waivers, and you would sacrifice all you owned to defend.

The signers of the Declaration of Independence mutually pledged to each other their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. Many died or lost all of their fortunes.

Today's politicians pledge nothing. They promise much. They talk much. They take all.

Patrick Henry never flipped-flopped on independence.

Nathan Hale regretted he had only one life to lose for his country.

John Kerry said he was for it just before he voted against it.

Barack Obama's position on gay marriage "evolved" just before election day.

Look up the phrase, "Hold your feet to the fire".

Ask how it applies here.

Nuff said.
