And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Fun stuff- "Bronson was born Charles Dennis Buchinsky, the eleventh of fifteen children, into a Roman Catholic family of Lithuanian origin in Ehrenfeld, Pennsylvania, in the coal region of the Allegheny Mountains north of Johnstown, Pennsylvania. His father, Walter Buchinsky (born: Valteris P. Bučinskis), was a Lipka Tatar from Druskininkai in southern Lithuania. Bronson's mother, Mary (née Valinsky), whose parents were from Lithuania, was born in the coal mining town of Tamaqua, Pennsylvania."
That dude above does look a lot like Charles Bronson (as in Bronson Canyon).
Well like my dad once said when asked what the difference between Poles and Loogans was.He said not much, Loogans we’re just meaner versions of Polacks
Polish. Show me a Lithuanian name that ends with "ski". You need to understand that about 100 years ago a Polish person could call themselves a Lithuanian because they were from those parts. Same as today a person from, say, Kentucky is an American. Not Kentuckian.
If you would have stated it was many would just assume you were correct.
ReplyDeleteNot sure what period this is portraying, not the Winged Hussars in the 1500s
Well, his birth name was Charles Buchinsky, so it's a good guess he was Polish.

Bronson was Polish / Lithuania / Tartar.
ReplyDeleteMay have had some "Tatar" roots, but as a Catholic his paternal origin was rather clearly Polish.
