My oldest son has spent the last few weeks studying the American Revolution, it is very new and raw in our house. You have a great point. This is the begining of the end of liberalism. They just dont know it yet. Thumbs up. Lets Roll.
Classic timing.
What irony. The Stamp Act, huh? Just wow.
That is sweet and ironic. Next up, Tea party in November. The original one happened in December 1773 but we’ll start ours a little early...
Wow. Tell me others got goosebumps reading that...how ironic. Or predictive.
We are in a Fourth Turning.
Next up: Shamnesty II and Cap-n-Tax, that will have bi-partisan support from RINOs like Juan McQueeg and Nancy Grahamnesty.
BHO, Jr. says:
"You, Mr. Congressman, ....I know that if you vote for this, you'll probably lose in 2010." "But why do you care? Here's what I am going to do for you, just for giving me this vote and saving my Presidency."
(1) Millions from the discretionary "Stimulus Fund" are put into your campaign. That, my friends, was what it is really for. Unspent campaign funds are ... well ... yours! Ask Ralph Nader. Ask Pat Buchanan. Ask John Kerry. Ask Al Gore. All of'em campaign fund millionaires, and it's legal!
(2) JOBSJOBSJOBS! Ambassadorships. Federal Posts. Big Titles at NGO's, Foundations, Institutes, Universities. All within the gift of the Democrats to each other. From me, to you. Just for one vote.
(3) Win, lose, or draw. I, The Obama, am de facto President until 2012. The economy, if present trends continue, is in the Crapper for at LEAST 5 years after that ... maybe longer! (Deal wit it.) Those almost no-show, high-pay, jobs jobs jobs, are the best insurance there is. No Depression for my followers! Convert to Civil Service ... you can never be removed! Meantime, I am legalizing millions and millions of new voters ... you'll be back in no time!
(4) Earmarks. I promise. You're going to see more earmarks than on a herd of Mexican cattle. I am going to pay you, Mr. Congressman, so you can pay off your friends back home in the district. Remember, I have TRILLIONS!
"The Republicans?" you ask? "All they want is a few more seats so they can get in on the swag." Business (Compromise with the President and the Democrats) as usual.
Maybe we should dump some band-aids into Boston Harbor.
Ironic.

Boston Massacre next then Lexington and Concord.
Thank you for pointing that out!!
Several days ago this same fact floated freely from feeble folds in my head and bubbled to the top of the tar pits. I hadn’t bothered to look it up because I was so sure I would never remember a detail like that correctly and am damn tired of hearing my wife say things like, “you were only a year off”, or “it was May, not March” an hour or so after I have such things float up and let them continue on to my mouth.

just got this from my history prof:
Dear students, friends and colleagues,
As we reflect on the momentous piece of legislation passed by Congress yesterday (yes, I’m referring to Health Care reform), let’s recognize the particular insights that historians might bring. If you’re looking for some well-reasoned arguments, both for or against, and an assessment of what this means in broad historical perspective, check out the articles posted on the History News Network:

Every single Congresscritter who voted to approve the Deem and Scheme Slaughter rule should be targeted and defeated in November. “Deeming” a bill passed when there has been no vote (even though they really didn’t use it) is un-American; and those who would use such a scheme do not deserve the honor of high office, or any of the perks.
