Standing Pat
But with which Pat?
"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
--Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775.
"You have no civil liberties if you are dead."Which are you, the Patriot or the Pattsy? A Path-finder or Pathetic?
--Sen. Pat Roberts, May 18, 2006.

You know, I'd never read the entire statement from Henry. Reading it now makes his classic American declaration all the more inspirational.

And depressing. I'd bet that you're more literate in American history, the Constitution and the founders than 95% of the population. I guess that explains quite a bit, doesn't it.
