“But these armchair macho bravado EverTrumpers assume and insist we do something extra-legal ourselves. That in itself is indeed a Threat to the republic. And I don’t want to see it because of our side....we’ve been the law uplifters all along. We should not be worshipping a man above the country.”
George Washington violated his oath as a British officer to serve King George loyally and would not have denied he was in fact a traitor to the crown.
Guess you would have stepped forward to uplift the law by taking arms against traitors like Franklin, Adams, Mason, Hancock, Hale, and Washington.
I don’t insist you do anything you confused ridiculous fellow.
never mind
First, I’m a woman.
2nd, I understand your points, but there is a fine line. As a student of the RevWar the colonials were a lot more organized than we. As of now our side is just a rabble. And the Founders organized very well on a large scale, not just a bunch of mobs which ultimately won’t get us anywhere but a few rioters stood down. They got representatives at the very top level to draw up proposals and offer conciliatory measures, even as actual war proceeded.
As for George, he was never a British officer, which was one of his resentments against the Crown. He was forever relegated to colonial militia, which as all colonials, were treated as not really British citizens (even if you actually came off the boat from Britain). He could not advance that way. GW is BTW my very favorite human of all time. I get your point GW was a subject of Britain but it’s still an important point, and could’ve been used as an argument against the British regarding “treason”.
This argument is often denied by Yankees of the Civil War discussion.
As it was, again, this is closer to civil war than any of the others, as they were mostly simple seperatist movements, as opposed to real infighting. In our case now, wouldn’t we truly be fighting over who runs the gov?p and thus, this entire land mass? That makes our actions highly consequential. As opposed to simply wanting to part ways.
Knock off the insults!
