“You don’t sound pompous are condescending at all. You are the truest example of enlightened perfection”
Why, thank you. Thank you so much!
“You do know that the Founding Fathers used to battle each other in the newspapers like rabid dogs and they won our independence, right?”
No. I know nothing about the Founding Fathers. I’m DAR and Descendants Of The Mayflower Society. I know nothing about the Founding Fathers.
They were brainiacs, so when they battled and fought, their level of discourse reflected that. They weren’t calling each other poopy heads, or saying, “I know you are, but what am I?”
Like I said, don't sound condescending at all. In fact you sound condescending, arrogant and self-satisfies.
You are absolutely wrong in your belief about the behavior of the founding fathers, they founders were fiery men who expressed their beliefs with unusual vehemence. Aaron Burr didn't shoot Alexander Hamilton dead in a duel over small insults.
Negative campaigning in America was sired by two friends, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Back in 1776, the two combined powers to help claim America's independence, and they had nothing but love and respect for one another. But by 1800, party politics had so distanced the pair that, for the first and last time in U.S. history, a president found himself running against his vice president. Things got ugly fast. Jefferson's camp accused President Adams of having a"hideous hermaphroditical character, which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman."
FYI, in response to you flashing your pedigree, I am a direct descendent of John Hoar who arrived in the Massachusetts Colony in 1641. John Hoar was a militia leader & Indian liaison in colonial Massachusetts during King Philip's War. He is best known for securing the release of Mary Rowlandson from Nipmuc captivity at Redemption Rock. My ancestor actually achieved something of note while yours simply came over in a boat.
