You expound being obtuse as if it were a virtue.

This immense interest in the famous ride of Paul Revere is all to the good. Thank you Sarah Palin. The amount of old papers and accounts are now brought into focus for the ordinary Joe out there (self included). All good for the mind for some of us. It seems that previously only a vague idea of the historic ride engendered by Longfellow was well known.

Sort of like the person who decided to investigate a certain certificate of live birth. The amount of genealogical data and research that has come forth is incredible. Maybe created many more family historians amongst the average Joe. (chuckle).

The RINO PDS trolls are out this morning I see.

These puzzies trash Palin yet won’t say who they support.

Must be nice to play offense without having to worry about D.

At least we criticize Romney while saying we support Palin.

Wimps, all of them.

Excerpt From U-S-History.com: Paul Revere's Midnight Ride
Revere became suspicious in mid-April when he noticed that British landing craft were being drawn out of the water for repairs — a clear indication that something was afoot. On the 16th he made a trip to Concord, a key community because it was the temporary home of the Provincial Congress and also a storehouse for militia guns, powder, and shot. He warned the residents there that redcoats were likely to be dispatched in the near future to seize the town’s arms supply. Revere’s warning was taken to heart and the townspeople began to hide arms and valuables in barns, wells, and the neighboring swamps.
You may have forgotten this.

That sexy librarian thing is another Tina Fey canard. She hasn’t worn her hair up in a couple of years. Who can forget the idiots calling it a beehive? Because her beauty parlor was called the Beehive. She’s a very beautiful woman and there’s nothing naughty or librarian about her.

If you saw her on Fox today you’d see that her voice was completely under control and nice. It’s only when she’s on the hustings that her voice goes high. But then who can forget Howard Dean’s horrible speaking voice on the stump?! Sarah sounds like Lauren Bacall in comparison!

Seriously, who’s your candidate?

So you are saying the whole Lexington and Concord “ALARM CALL” was nothing but a gun grab. Keep talking

57 states,,, Corpse-man,,,

obama is not a native English speaker. He has mastered the grammar pretty well, but the nuance of rhythm, cadence and tonal quality evades him. That is why his voice tears holes in our ear drums.

I know, "corps" isn't an English word. We have assimilated it, though.

Not one person—Palin or otherwise said that the whole point of the alarm was to defend the arms. You’ve been correctly called out as wrong by several people here, so you weakly try to change your argument from anything that Palin actually said.

What she relayed was, however, the most spectacular part of Revere’s ride.

I’m sure many other women don’t like her because of her looks, especially U-G-L-Y liberal women

As a conservative, older woman, I love Sarah Palin. I remember what it was like to be young and attractive, and I think she should enjoy every minute of it. She's not only beautiful on the outside, but she radiates an inner beauty as well. Her exterior looks will fade with time, but her inner beauty will not only remain, but will increase. She loves God, her family, and her country, and this shines through all.

” Can you imagine what she’d do if she had Michelle Obama’s budget?!”

Can you imagine what Sarah would do if she had Michelle obama’s closet?? I think she’d rip everything up to make recycled stuffers for trig’s diapers!!

See my earlier post. If you think the absolute primary intent of Revere’s actions was to protect the caches of arms, then you love rewriting history.

You, my friend, do not know your history. Revere rode just six moths earlier in what is know as the Powder Alarms. He did a dry run to Concord just three days before the initial ride to warn locals to protect their munitions/arms. Again, Revere had two objectives: warn Hancock and Adams of the troops intention to arrest them and THEN to ride to Concord to warn the locals that troops were on their way to seize their munitions. Neither Revere or Dawes made it to Concord but a young doctor Prescott (as another poster highlighted) completed the most famous horse ride in US history. Try reading "Paul Revere's Ride" by David Hackett Fischer.

They will rewrite history so Maya Angelou is credited with the poem - this will automatically make it the true version of history...
