A very good example of someone who has escaped the oppression so common elsewhere and who now values their freedom. It also shows that there are people that have been here for multiple generations who have either nor been taught or have forgotten the "costs" involved with our "representative republic".

It also shows that, if ever was a "Boy Scout", Pig-Boy has forgotten that 2-word catchphrase - "Be prepared."

It's a pretty old saying; it might even be in the Bible somewhere.


This source traces it to 16th century England.

It makes sense that it would sound Biblical, since most English Bible translations are heavily influenced by 16th century phrasing from Tyndale and his successors.
