I wouldn't send Ted Rall to any of the above, I'd send him to North Korea. Let him starve and be oppressed at the same time.

All I need to know is that George Washington and the Patriots did their part for us BEFORE the Constitution was written. The British didn't let their Atlantic seaboard colonies go because they got a sudden urge to act nice.

This reminds me the the time in 2004 when Jimmy Carter said the American Revolution wasn't necessary, and that if we had talked more with King George III he would have granted independence peacefully, the way Britain later did with Canada and India. It made me wonder why he bothered to run for president in the first place.

Makes me wonder if the man hasn't lost his sanity, or if he ever had it.

BTW no one has caught my proctologist/pediatrist comment yet.

Lib's sense of entitlement knows no bounds. It's been raised to an art form.

Britain had no choice to deal with Canada after the revolutionnary war,especially with Lower Canada(french part then) because without their continued support (through unheard of at the time) concessions, like freedom of religion and laws,the Brits just would not have had the numbers to maintain a foothold in North America.
Being nice had nothing to do with it.
