Colonists who opposed American Revolution all but forgotten...

We didn't forget them, it was just hard to take them seriously all covered in feathers.

That is their place in history, as it will be for the NYT soon enough.

OK, please excuse a non USA freeper's ignorance. But this cartoon made me think. So is the"macaroni" in Yankke doodle a reference to something historic and not just a convenient rhyme? Feather in his hat? tar and feathering. what's with the "macarony" spelling?

I swear I read this article in the Wall Street Journal.

And it is interesting. What I could understand was the fear of a revolution and the desire not to be part of it. This was not something I couldn't understand. Who in heck doesn't fear what happens and what the outcome is of a revolution.

This is interesting. And I don't think the writer was making a political point vis a vis today.

It has always amazed me how the founding fathers handled our revolution. There was no bloodbath after i.e. The French. A testament to what kind of people we are from.
