Show a little gratitude to those who you want to bash. You see the ancestors of those you attack allowed your ancestors to enter this great land. Instead, like a member of CAIR, you attack the religion of the founders of this great land. You can denigrate Protestants all you want, but our greatest accomplishment is the establishment of this great country under the Constitution of 1789, that is enough for me.

Actually, the RC's take credit for this country as well. That is why you will not see any gratitude for anything non-Catholic.

That would entail admitting that a non-Catholic was right about something.

In their revisionist history, they are claiming hat the US was founded by Catholics.

I will try looking for the threads. Maybe someone else pinged here remembers it and can help.

I remember that thread. They claimed to land in Florida (I think)somewhere and about the first thing they did was burn some people alive for heresy. I'm not sure that's one they ought to be pointing at and beating their chest over. But that's just me.
