Milton’s warning still echoes: Liberty survives only when citizens defend it

By Cory Gaines | Commentary, Colorado Accountability Project A lesson and inspiration about standing up for liberty from Milton I have been listening to a lecture series on English literature and busily adding things to my reading list as I go. If you remember a Friday a ways back where I put up an anonymous poem “Yesterday’s Flowers,” that poem was one of them.
