That was not an insult. It was a statement of fact. You are acting like patriots will be out looting, and killing indiscriminately. This IS just the sort of statement that would come out of Kerry mouth.
I cannot remember a single reference to any sort of planning by the founding fathers for the type of stuff that you are raving about. Show me.
I finished two courses on the American Revolution in the last month, thank you.

I said nothing of the sort. You were the one talking about needing to soak the soil with blood, and NOTHING else. And have you thought that people not as purehearted as your armed patriots might take advantage of the chaos that is brought by revolution?

Hello???
You think that the Declaration of Independence was signed without any discussion and planning about independency’s effects? That the Founding Fathers did not take steps to secure plans for alliances in the fight (how do you think France got involved)? What was the Continental Congress doing if not debating the risks and rewards of independence, and how to form a new government that fixed the mistakes of the past and avoided anarchy and totalitarianism?
In short, do you have any idea what you’re talking about?

So glad that you were able to memorize battle dates and such. But honestly, what kind of course on the American Revolution doesn’t go into the debates and strategies and underlying events before the war?
Here’s a tip. Pick up “The Founding of a Nation” By Merrill Jensen, instead of skimming Cliffs Notes. You’ll get a clue about the true heroism of the Founding Fathers as they dealt with the messy realities of revolution.
