I feel as though I want to vommit right after reading that. You were right with your barf alert. As Daughter of the American Revolution. I know none of my relatives were liberals.
Liberals were not in charge of the War or any effort thus far that has produced freedom for any American. That is pure bunk. The War was started because the Torries and the British were comming after all of the guns and gun powder. Hardly a liberal cause ever in history.
None of your relatives were conservatives, either, unless you're kin to Alexander Hamilton. Conservatives share equally in the blame for our federal government being a $2 TRILLION A YEAR unconstitutional monstrosity. (In fact, conservative G.W. Bush has proposed to increase that size by 9% in a single year.)
Paine, Jefferson, Madison, Washington...they were all libertarians. Not conservatives.
