What does it say about us?

It says that we have finally been dumbed down to where they need us to be.

A symbol of the every growing attempts to destroy the Bill of Rights.

Stone building where Bill of Rights was proposed and signed is partially demolished before anyone realized its historic significance.

And here's a pic of the demolition of the building where the Bill of Rights died.

Lot’s of stories out there where demolition crews don’t check and double check before tearing down a building.

What are they going to build there? A Taco-Bell restaurant?

Absolutely unbelievable. It should have been on a historic register of some sort; no one knew its value? Even the age of it and its obviously good condition ought to have been enough to save it.

How symbolic of our times.

This building must be restored!

Im always critical on England when they designate historic buildings that cannot be touched. And they go too far.
But then I see things like this.
The owner was tearing down a 1700s house to probably build a Taco bell or something.

Save the lectures.

‘she was informed about the stone house’s history by an “outside source.”’

Eh, huh? So, there is no obvious documentation about this building?

Sounds like local legend, which could be totally false.

Or a misconstruing of history. Perhaps a few anti-Feds met here to come up with their own ideas.

I have never heard of such a thing as a single “convention” coming up with ALL the BOR amendments as we know them.

Look at this with a grain of salt.

So why wasn’t this on the historic preservation register or whatever it is called?

They may be able to reconstruct it. I hope so.

Please see the link there.

This is not what it’s being made out to be. Not at all like destroying Independence Hall or such.

Isn’t it a protected historic site?
