Compared to what The Founders had in 1783, only 4 million citizens total, the Cumberland Gap had only been recently discovered so they knew of almost nothing beyond the Appalachian Mountains...

We are now the longest-still-surviving government on earth...

We are now the wealthiest nation on earth...

We are now the most powerful nation ever...

We are now the 4th largest and 3rd most populous nation on earth...

We are by far the most inventive and innovative nation on earth...

We are by far the most generous and helpful nation in world history...

We are the world's first major power ever to have never conquered or colonized a neighbor after becoming the most powerful...

We are the beacon of hope and freedom and human rights for the planet, and have been for 200 years...

We have failed them in many ways, but their creation remains really amazing, and is (for the time being) surviving yet another great challenge to its existence... this one being internal again.

Arnold made a fatal mistake, all he wanted was some recognition. He was a true patriotic bulldog in the beginning, for a small man he took on quite a bit of almost unbelievable tasks to prove himself

[LouAvul]

I think even my grandfather would shake his head in disbelief at what we've become. (He was WW1 vintage.)

He would have been stunned at even what his church (Methodist) has become.

The hero of Saratoga.

Benedict Arnold lived in England after the war.

Canada. The Brits gave him land there.

Big chunk of what is now Toronto . . .

They would realize what a big mistake slavery was and wished that the slaves had been freed and repatriated to Africa.

[Bullish]

They’d probably like about half of us. The other half they’d be disgusted by.

[NFHale]

What would they think....??

Well, there’d be a lot of corpses for sure...

What would our Founding Fathers think of America today ? Charlton Heston put it best...

Our Founding Fathers would be executing those guilty of the coup attempt on Our Donald. And, that would include the enablers in the MSM.

*Make English the official language of the USA.
*Assassinate John Wilkes Booth’s ancestors.
*Assassinate the Kennedy’s ancestors.

I could go on...

And yes, they’d be a lot of corpses.

[DarthVader]

Exterminate all of the Commies with extreme prejudice!! Make the streets run red!!

[GOPsterinMA]

That’s it!!!!!!

[GOPsterinMA]

Anyone else rooting for the Netherlands to win tomorrow?

I’m beyond sick of seeing or hearing that purple haired dykey lookkng Rapinoe thing.

[Impy]

I wouldn’t go that far but this nasty dyke “representing” our country makes it hard.

[DarthVader]

Yes those unpatriotic dykes sicken me. They can go to hell. They deserve a little bit of their own treatment. Let’s rub it in if they lose.

[GOPsterinMA]

You Yankee!

The Netherlands can’t win by enough.

[GOPsterinMA]

Amen, brother!!!

[fieldmarshaldj]

Not even North Korea could send a more anti-American “team” than this group of angry Stalinist bulldyke Sodomites.

[Impy]

Luck appears to be on their side. 0-0 at the half, US had several chances.
