Umm, signing a document that pretty much ensures your execution in the very real event of a loss to the greatest power in the world is a piss poor way of protecting your status.

If she is going to be giving tours of our nation's history, she should have a mandated script to follow and only deviate when there are interesting factoids and information that is true. If I had been on that tour that she gave, I would have been so pissed and called her out on her BS. This kind of stuff is why people are turning to liberal/socialist ways. They don't understand what was sacrificed, what was risked and what it took to wrest our freedoms that we enjoy today from the English Crown. |

The destruction of the basic foundations of our society is nothing shocking, anymore.
What is shocking is the lengths so many will go to in order to demand that we adhere to the now outdated playbook of "principled Americana" where we are a melting pot, we are the land of the free and the brave and that we are safe from those who have proven themselves willing and capable of punishing their political enemies. |

There's nothing "elite status" about being hung from the neck until dead by a bunch of red coats. Those "elites" put EVERYTHING on the line in 1776. How much land and money would the sons of liberty have if the British had won? None. Freedom loving people should thank God every single day that the Founders did what they did, regardless of the motivations. I don't care if it was Marty McFly blasting van halen into Thomas Jefferson's ears with a Walkman, it was right and extremely high risk.
Frankly, personal reward / profit from a successful revolution was minimal. Most of these guys were already rich / famous under the British... what do you personally gain by starting a revolution? More land and fame? Hardly tips the scales compared to bring hung and and all your seats seized. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

The Progressive era (1890-1920) in this country necessitated a re-writing of history in order to make any inroads. So it shouldn't be a surprise that he would warp history to fit the Progressive mold with his 1913 book. Progressives have always been about lies and half-truths. 1913 was also the period which saw the inclusion of the "Progressive Amendments" to the Constitution: The Sixteenth Amendment gave the federal government the power to lay and collect an income tax regardless of the source of that income. It was ratified February 3, 1913. The Seventeenth Amendment provided for the direct election of Senators by the people rather than by the state legislatures as the original Constitution called for. The seventeenth amendment was ratified two months after the sixteenth, on April 8, 1913 I think the butthurt is from having to listen to the refuted lies of the Progressives of 1913 delivered as "fact" in 2016. |
