She was quoted... "warned the British that they weren't gonna be takin' away our arms."

Which is nothing near the innovative way Revere warned the populus of the Brittish invasion.

Yeah, Palin knew where she was going, and one would think the at least she would do a little homework before fielding questions from the media.

And maybe you need to think about how great great great great grandpa would feel about someone like her that clearly loves everything this country stands for. When you come right down to it, Neither of us have met him, so i bet i know his thinking as well as you do. And i think he would not be rolling in his grave at all.

He would be rolling at what the republidems and an islamic communist have done. He would be praying for Sarah to take over. And he would have preferred her at his side that night with a rifle more than any other candidate.

Sarah: "[Revere] warned the British that they weren't gonna be takin' away our arms."

catfish1957: "nothing near the innovative way Revere warned the populus [sic] of the Brittish [sic] invasion."

Paul Revere:

[Describing his capture] “Out started six [Regular British] officers, seized my bridle, put their pistols to my breast, ordered me to dismount, which I did. One of them, who appeared to have the command there, and much of a gentleman, asked me where I came from; I told him. He asked what time I left. I told him, he seemed surprised, said 'Sir, may I crave your name?' I answered 'My name is Revere.'

I knew what they were after; that I had alarmed the country all the way up, that their boats were caught aground, and I should have 500 men there soon."

Revere warned the British Regulars that the militia were ready and able to defend their armories and supplies of gunpowder. To Revere, that aspect of defeating the mission of the British Regulars, the aspect of preventing the seizure of the arms and powder of the colonial militia, was as important as protecting Sam Adams from capture. It is necessary to use the word "Regulars", because the colonial militia was also a British force.

Thus in warning the colonists Revere was warning the British--the British Colonial Milita--and by warning the six British Regulars who captured him, Revere was also warning the British.

It is the later warning, which Revere made to the British Regulars, to which Professor Palin referred. I hope you are now more properly educated and schooled as to our great American History in this major event of it.

Please bring an apple in for Professor Palin tomorrow as an expression of due respect.

It would be more productive if YOU actually studied history. Sarah was right and you are wrong. Frickin' PDS bum. Running your mouth without knowing what you are talking about and falling in with the no nothing media.

Guess you know more about it than Revere himself who reported having been stopped by the British, and that he warned them not to try to take the weapons cache at Lexington because they would meet armed resistance.
