On April 2nd 1780, British Lieutenant General Sir Henry Clinton led an overwhelming force as it lay siege to the city of Charleston, South Carolina. The ensuing violence lasted 40 days. When it was over, 5,200 Continental troops had been captured, 92 were killed, and 148 were wounded. The city was lost. It would go down in history as the worst U.S. defeat of the Revolutionary War.
As news of the loss spread, Americans complained that war was hard, there was no way to win, and that Liberty just wasn’t worth the hassle. So, they surrendered and we remain English to this day.
Oh wait…that’s not what happened, is it.

Thank you, fellow patriot. I needed that.
“We” are so far past Bengazi you can’t even see it in the rear view mirror..
Get real Grasshopper..
1) the fats in the fire...
2) the horse has left the barn..
3) the post turtle is looking quite stupid...
Going on about Bengazi is like running the inventor Romney-Care against the inventor of Obama-care..
It didn’t work.. is not working, and will not work..
SLAP yerself and re-access your situation..
The election was rigged and so was Bengazi...
Do you watch ‘rastling on TV?.... Do you drool?..
Except that Scotland voting to be independent of Britain is like Detroit voting to be independent of Michigan. England will be better off without them.
Rigged President, rigged election. I get that. But hearings still to come on Benghazi. THE MEDIA ARE PROPAGANDISTS FOR THE SOCIALIST PARTY. I get that too. They + Voter fraud got 0bama elected. Even our OWN Congress got 0bama elected by not ‘being fair to the President so he could get elected’ instead of being outraged about Benghazi. Wouldn’t surprise me if our gov started the Hurricane, too.. As Plan B.
You seem to have no idea of what just happened to federal givernment..
No free election will EVER happen again in AMerica..
Federal, State, OR Local.. might have been true for 10 years already..
And you want to obessess about Bengazi?.. NOW?..
Boehner was just on TV pleging to give away the farm..
You do know that the Senate has been totally controlled by democrats for 4 years.. and have even MORE controll NOW...
America will not be America in LESS THAN FOUR MORE YEARS..
probably less than ONE YEAR... maybe in two months..
Bengazi is a waste of time.. as is the “FAst and Furious debacle”..
I agree.
It’s more than two generations. The modern school system — sit down, shut up, and listen — is a century old. By now nearly five generations have been through it. What’s worse, four generations of teachers have been through it, so they have very little to offer even to students who still have minds — except mind-numbing drugs.
Americans have been conditioned to follow orders for a long time, and they’re now pretty good at it. Most don’t have enough initiative to swat a fly, unless they’re told to, and how to do it.
