The founding fathers were no better than pirates. More from the moral equivalence crowd.

In some ways they weren't. In many ways the pirates were not the low down scum that tabloid history paints them to be. This has nothing to do with 'moral equivalence' but rather what pirates did that is historical fact. Sorry you can't understand that.

Well, let's just compare the Framers to Neanderthal while we're at it. They had lots in common, after all. So Og and Thomas Jefferson "deserve equal billing for founding democracy in the United States and New World."

Makes about as much sense as Acosta's ridiculous slander; i.e., no sense at all.
