Yes, I agree. Their historical experience was such. But, I think, very little remains today of their work.
I KNOW enough remains of our founders work that the spirit of freedom and virtue burns brightly enough in the heart of American patriots - that any man who claimed to be our King and we his subjects would get a bullet to the skull - he and his knee bending boot licking lackeys.
It would be the very LEAST Jefferson and Washington and company would expect.
SIC SEMPER TYRANNUS!
