If he was it was George Bush’s fault. Notice I didn’t specify George 41 or George 43.

Three Georges. Like that big freakin’ dam in China.

Are we done yet? I hate articles like this. It makes people who go to college and spend astronomical amounts of money learning drivel feel like they are doing something worthwhile, and in the main, they aren’t. But they inevitably end up in positions of power and influence over everyone else, and the time they spent pondering blithering drivel like this is time they could have learned something useful, or at least intelligent.

The definition of terrorism doesn’t fall within the spectrum of God-given rights. So no. He wasn’t.

Nope, Geo Washington led an organized army authorized and duly appointed by the colonial continental congress. The British recognized that they were an organized army and referred to them as being in rebellion as rebels, not terrorists.

No, in the eyes of king George, he was treasonist.

When are we going to acknowledge that Ayers isn’t a radical now. He and his wife make good money, have a prestigious positions, don’t have to hide, are close friends of the president. And their beliefs are the beliefs of big business and the majority of the population.

Ayers fancies himself a man of honor?

FU Devil Worshipin, Satanic Inspired, Kommunist.

Washington sought to create a country where the individual right could not be infringed and that all men were equal to whatever life they chose.

You represent a collectivist ideal, in which the individual is subsumed to the collective.

Further, he shot at soldiers who worked as henchmen, as well a few Germans, who sought a similar ideal.

you and your ilk murdered innocents and police officers.

you also celebrated that krazy Kat Charlie and thought dining on the body of a dead woman, who was carrying a baby.

you have no concience.

Washington was a man of honor.

FOAD of a disease that is painful and wracks your body with all kinds of boils and postules.

Terrorist? No way.

It’s impossible for George Washington to be a “domestic terrorist”. Even if George Washington was a terrorist of any sort (which he clearly wasn’t) he would have been colonial terrorist not a domestic terrorist.

While the stamp act et al were legal acts of parliament and if we had lost the war George Washington would have been hanged, drawn and quartered.

George Washington fought for the right of Free Citizens to have a Government to work for them. Not Impose on them.

Billy Ayers was and still is a future American Stalin. Do what we say. Or else.

Contrast this (the Delcartion of Indpendeance) http://youtu.be/13jLQ_-3c8o?t=10m

And the Communist Manafesto

Karl Marx's "10 Planks" to seize power and destroy freedom:

Abolition of Property in Land and Application of all Rents of Land to Public Purpose.

A Heavy Progressive or Graduated Income Tax.

Abolition of All Rights of Inheritance.

Confiscation of the Property of All Emigrants and Rebels.

Centralization of Credit in the Hands of the State, by Means of a National Bank with State Capital and an Exclusive Monopoly.

Centralization of the Means of Communication and Transport in the Hands of the State.

Extension of Factories and Instruments of Production Owned by the State, the Bringing Into Cultivation of Waste Lands, and the Improvement of the Soil Generally in Accordance with a Common Plan.

Equal Liability of All to Labor. Establishment of Industrial Armies, Especially for Agriculture.

Combination of Agriculture with Manufacturing Industries; Gradual Abolition of the Distinction Between Town and Country by a More Equable Distribution of the Population over the Country. v Free Education for All Children in Public Schools. Abolition of Children's Factory Labor in it's Present Form. Combination of Education with Industrial Production.

Radicals compare themselves to America’s Founding Fathers.

Why would they do that? Weren't America's Founding Fathers (according to them) "evil, patriarchal, white slaveholders?"

'The American Revolution began with America’s intellectual and social elite. It was not a mob action, but an orderly defense of human rights by men and women of dignity and means. They were not a desperate mob of lemmings but leaders in political theory, thoughtful, temperate, highly educated, with their lives and fortunes at risk. The American Revolution was not a “bottom up” enterprise. Though the continental army was composed of citizen soldiers from every walk of life, the founders were characterized by greatness and produced the most noble and unique political document in human history. In a world characterized by violence and slavery, they made the promise of equality before the law a fait accompli. '

That is a very broad interpretation of the AR. Leaving out many issues and other Casus belli.

A precursor to the AR was the Regulator conflict in North and South Carolina. Most certainly there was 'mob' and bottom up action because of the corruption built into the local and regional government.

Those problems spread, and the general action of the AR in Northern parts of the country occurred in similar form, but happened to have richer reactionaries and land holders. They simply organized the rage better.

Nope. King Barry . . . err Georgie . . . broke his social contract with the colonists. King G failed to protect their natural rights; therefore, the colonists had the right to break ties with him. In the Declaration the colonists respectfully requested a peaceful breakup, but King G denied that request. A war was fought as the result of King G’s poor choices.
