“Do you think that the Founding Fathers won the Revolutionary War by having hugfests with the British?”

Now you create a strawman argument taking the matter out of context, from public behaviors of the founders between each other as political U.S. adversaries, to, inappropriately U.S-British relations. And in THAT latter context, for tone, you only have to read the Declaration of Independence where even in the many claims against the British King things were stated as matter of fact and wihout rancor.

The issue was not about “being quiet or not” as you imply with your quote from Adams; that is another false argument and not what the main issue is about.

The Declaration of Independence was a political document written by many people meant for consumption worldwide, it was not a political forum and it was not individual political speech. Only a low intellect would conflate the two.

You are a 'safe space' Freeper. Do you need some validation, a hug and some hot cocoa to soothe your distress?
