Always love me some Crowder stuff!
Eh-yep!
You're right.
Here in Maine, there are a good number of moonbats who support the Second Amendment.
So there's a good-sized potential audience outside of conservatives.
And your video is awesome - watched it twice!
Maine, huh? Glad to hear it.
That is a great one sentence argument destroyer. Any lib who opens their trap after that is demonstrating what a complete and utter fool and tool they are.
That’s a great one by Penn and Teller but can there ever
be too many videos shredding liberal illogic into confetti?
Their show was great.
It was a great show. I loved the one where they petitioned to
have dihydrogen monoxide banned.
You’re doing great work, Steven, and this video was rip roaringly funny.
Now knuckle down and get your HTML right on the next thread. LOL
Gentleman Johnny Burgoyne defines “militia” explicitly in 1777, leaving zero doubts to its meaning in 1777 after the Battle of Bennington Aug 16, 1777 :
“The great bulk of the country is undoubtedly with the Congress, in principle and zeal; and their measures are executed with a Secrecy and dispatch that are not to be equaled. Wherever the king`s forces point, militia, to the amount of three or four thousand assemble in twenty-four hours; they bring with them their substance etc., the alarm over, they return to their farms. The Hampshire Grants [Vermont], in particular, a country unpeopled and almost unknown in the last war, now abounds in the most active and most rebellious race on the continent, and hangs like a gathering storm upon my left.”
-General John Burgoyne, “A State of the Expedition from Canada, as laid before the House of Commons, by Lieutenant-General Burgoyne, and Verified by Evidence; with a Collection of Authentic Documents, and an Addition of Many Circumstances Which were Prevented from Appearing before the House by the Prorogation of Parliament.
(London: J. Almon, 1780) xxv.
General John Stark defines “militia” in 1809
‘On August 16, [1777] a motley collection of militia led by John Stark... [Battle of Bennington]
In 1809, Stark, aged 81, declined an invitation to return to Bennington,but sent a letter that was widely republished in newspapers. Referring to his “men that had not learned the art of submission, nor been trained in the art of war,” Stark closed his letter with the famous postscript,
“Live free or die; Death is not the greatest of evils.”’
