| Introduction | Amo Probos is the motto of Clan Blair and is generally translated from the Latin as "loves virtue". I am an eighth generation American and damn sure I am not going to meet my Ancestors without living up to their standards of honor and patriotism. For me, that means following the injunction of one of them, George Mason, who said: “I recommend it to my sons from my own experience in life, to prefer the happiness of independence and a private station to the troubles and vexations of publick business, but if either their own inclinations or the necessity of the times should engage them in public affairs, I charge them on a father's blessing never to let the motives of private interest or ambition induce them to betray, nor the terrors of poverty and disgrace, or the fear of danger or of death, deter them from asserting the liberty of their country and endeavoring to transmit to their posterity those sacred rights to which themselves were born.” Clear to me is that “those sacred rights” are being stripped from us daily and hence I must “assert the liberty” of this Country without concern for consequence to me. |
