The success of the American Revolution and the American System is that the extremists and the Purists did not take over as it happened in the French revolution for example. There were no "Robespierres" among the the Founding fathers who thought that they are more pure than the others and began chopping the heads of their opponents using the guillotine. Thank God that the Founding Fathers were not Purists or else we would not have had the United States of America as we know it which is the greatest nation in history of mankind.
You want to be a Purist pelase feel free to be like this but in America you as a Purist is a bitter loser and you will always remain as such. You cannot win, ever.
Well said J, well said. Any reading of the Founding Fathers shows the radical idea they proposed was the God given power and rights of the individual.
This was considered radical at the time in an age of monarchies, but today is considered a benchmark of freedom.
And as you said, there were no mobs of Robespierres either.
LOL, you are one of the bitterest posters on FR. BTW, if you think that a small, unorganized group of patriots starting a war with the mightiest military in the world was not an extreme event, you don't know the definition of the word.
