I recall being told in High School that the French Revolution was a more significant event in world history than the American Revolution. I don't recall exactly what the rationale was... it just was "'cause we say so"...

There were profound differences between the American and French revolutions. The most significant was that the Colonists were Christians, who espoused the natural rights that God bestowed on humanity. It was not a revolution for the sake of revolution, but a revolution based on submission and devotion to God's Law.

The French revolution was entire secular and godless. It was about greed, violence, humanism, and the hatred of God.

"Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!"

Sure.

That didn't last long before the mass torture and mass murder became the norm.

I think people should about the French Revolution to get to know that it became uncontrolled and anyone not part of the revolution was murdered by the out of control liberal revolutionaries. There was no saving anyone if accused.

Eventually, even the revolutionaries were executed by their fellow revolutionaries. It’s what our of control liberals do, childishly act out.

All the kowtowing to liberals I see corporate leaders doing is only emboldening the the little kids into doing more towards a French-style revolution.

This.

There is a quote by one of the Founding Fathers (that escapes me at the moment) that said something along the lines of "America's form of government can work only with a godly people".
