Fighting for “freedom” to be eventually ruled by home-grown autocrats instead of an English autocrat... “
No, I did not misinterpret the above. You clearly are saying that our Founding Fathers were fighting only for the (scare quoted, to indicate that it wasn't real) “freedom” to be eventually ruled by home-grown autocrats.
That is NOT what they were fighting for, nor are we or have we been been ruled by an autocrat.
I think most FReepers would be disgusted at your comment that our Founding Fathers were no more fighting for freedom (or “freedom” as you would have it) than a French Monarchist fighting off the English Monarchy is fighting for freedom.
Your comment is absolutely disgusting, and anti-American, and absolutely ahistorical. Ignorant wrong and repellent.
thank you for taking this on! i appreciate everything you have said on this thread...
