We diminish our founders by comparing their sacrifices to people...voting.

I get that we need the hyperbole to help fire up folks and get their patriotic juices flowing. The political earthquake is a huge deal and a huge realignment of the politics in this country. I give no arguement against these points.

But let us not forget - ever - that our founders risked their lives to secure liberty for themselves and their posterity (us). Too many patriots died in battle never able to exercise the rights that they were fighting for. Nobody died in Mass. on Tuesday. It doesn’t mean that Tuesday was anything less than what it was. My point is that the revolution was so much more.

Good writing, keep it up!
