Bwahahahahahaha
Interesting. I had forgotten myself about the detail of Revere being taken by British troops.
As much as I like history, and as much as I think the following quote is VERY enlightening and educational, I really hope that Palin doesn’t visit Illinois, and bring up the following quote from their most famous President:
“I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black races - that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race. I say upon this occasion I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior position the negro should be denied everything.”
It just aired on NBC evening news. The talking head, can’t think of his name, said it wasn’t bells but lanterns. Geez, this is what makes headlines these days??
Here’s a likely answer to Msmlib ignorance on US history.
When my daughter was in High School a few years back she had a history final on the Rev war. She brought me the paper (got an 88). I read it and sat there wondering how you can do a paper on the revolutionary War, end it at PR’s ride and get a passing grade. My question “Where’s the actual war kid???” Her answer...”We were tested on what they taught us. That’s as far as they taught us Dad.”
She got schooled on the rest over the next few days. ;)
Sarah tried to tell the mediots more than their wittle bwains could handle.
They wanted the short version, and she gave them the full nelson.
Indeed, she runs rings around them and they are left looking
like the fools they are!
Man oh man I would hate to be announcing my candidacy this week and running against her. She simply sucks the air out of the country.
You can try to put lipstick on this pig all you want, but the video clip of her is rambling, incoherent and looks terrible. There is no way to portray this as anything but a fairly minor gaff, recognize that she was probably tired and distracted and move on.
The more I watch of it, the less I like the way she’s handling this bus tour. It looks less and less like campaigning every day and more and more like self-promotion.
Until she starts seeing if she can draw crowds, an until she starts putting together organizations in Iowa and New Hampshire I’m going to remain deeply skeptical of her presidential ambitions. I think she knows she can’t win.
and the above the fold, headline gobblers will start crowing on msnbc shows in 3, 2, 1........
Revere did indeed warn the Regulars.
The ONLY reason these media clowns are following Sarah around is to find a way to destroy her. That is their reason for living, their reason for breathing, eating, sleeping, is to destroy this woman. Since 2008 that is all they have going for them..they hope on this trip that they can just get one morsel, anything that they can use against her and run with it on the evening news..meanwhile Obama doesn’t know what year this is, talks about 57 states and they say NOTHING, why, because everyone in the damn media voted for him, will protect him til his last dying breath

Paul Revere arranged for a signal to be sent by lantern from the steeple of North Church - one if by land, two if by sea. On the night of April 18, 1775 the lantern's alarm sent Revere, William Dawes and other riders on the road to spread the news. The messengers cried out the alarm, awakening every house, warning of the British column making its way towards Lexington. In the rider's wake there erupted the peeling of church bells, the beating of drums and the roar of gun shots - all announcing the danger and calling the local militias to action.
In the predawn light of April 19, the beating drums and peeling bells summoned between 50 and 70 militiamen to the town green at Lexington. As they lined up in battle formation the distant sound of marching feet and shouted orders alerted them of the Redcoats' approach. Soon the British column emerged through the morning fog and the confrontation that would launch a nation began.
Palin again shows the media how stupid they are.
Paul Revere - Arguably the first FReeper - he didn't even have dial-up but he had a horse
and made historic use of it.
The problem is that the Mdia has put their version on the news and we will not here Sarah’s true storry except right here in Free Republic.
Don’t expect a retraction. In fact they may even repeat it even after knowing the truth,because they know the kool aid drinkers will believe their story.
Tea Party USA - Modern Day Paul Reveres - Growing by the day!
