Denying history doesn't make it go away or make people change their behavior.
You still beating the 'Articles of Confederation' horse? That's one of the weakest tactics I've seen the SQLs use yet.

Absurd.
Not denying history at all; just saying that the Articles of Confederation no longer apply (and applied to a completely different set of circumstances than today.
You're trying to whitewash a barn with red paint.
