Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Paul Revere never said "The British are coming." Well, what do you think he said to Adams and Hancock when he got to Lexington? The Russians are coming? Back then we WERE British. It would make just as much sense today as shouting 'The Americans are coning!" Paul Revere shouted "The Regulars are out!" (Meaning Regular British troops) How come no one ever mentions William Dawes when they speak of that night? |

I for one would welcome the return of a monarchy, I have blue blood lineage that I can directly link to Charles I of Austria.

WTF does he mean by that? The British are not even breathing hard yet. I think OP fancies himself a revolutionary. Despite the fact he lives in a safe, first world country with a democratic, representative and accountable government, he is still not happy. He wants more (much like the welfare queens, in an ironic way). He wants society to be ordered exactly as he sees fit, and because America doesn't agree with him, and he can't convince them of his brilliance, the only answer in OP's mind is a violent overthrow of the aforementioned government, in contravention of the laws society has imposed to ensure that government remains so. He is trying - and failing - to draw a parallel to the situation in 1776, where there were some legitimate gripes to be had. I think you missed the point. In the context of all the topics getting locked today, would similar topics about conflict with the British have been locked in the day? Further comments withheld in the interest of decorum. |

Quoted: Paul Revere never said "The British are coming." Paul Revere rode west, to where Hancock and Addams were, and another guy, a black patriot, rode north, where much of the miltia came from, with the same news. |

Must be a tough life sitting around judging other people with a tail between the legs It's interesting that you criticise us for not engaging in pointless and ultimately fruitless revolution against the ill-founded democratic will of the people. I guess my history books must have had the armed revolts in 1936, 1968 and 1994 censored... |
