'The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." Thomas Jefferson wrote those words in a letter to William Smith in 1787. The letter its self is worth reading. Here I shall endeavor to water loving the tree of liberty with the figurative blood of tyrants and misguided souls who do so much harm under the umbrella of patriotism. It is an unavoidable tragedy that from time to time true patriots who are simply wrong will bleed on these pages. There will also be days when my blood shall stain the pages. So now you know the origin of the name. I will also be posting my personal works here. Poetry mainly and a story or two. Please, I both welcome and want your comments and questions. Since I will be posting inflammatory articles here I will not ask that you keep your comments civil. However please note that excessive cussing and abusive language will not be kept on here. Before you post something that is a swearing rant please take a moment to realize how a comment worded such a way reflects on it's author. Thank you and I look forward to your input and discussion.
Sincerly,
Chaz Robertson
