"those who are no longer our countrymen" shorthand for the following:
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget ye were our countrymen."
Samuel Adams
Excellent post HERE

That is some good reading material - thanks for passing it along.
Just came across a pretty cool blog this morning, CORNERED CAT. Some good reading material - you might like it.
I use that Sam Adams quote in the header of my blog. IIRC he was one of the older founders.
On another note, I noticed that I get more traffic from here than anywhere else. Like minds and all that.
I always loved that post - erudite, but in your face.
