There were Crown-worshiping Tories who thought the same about the gallant Captain Parker and his assemblage of Patriots. [More]These are the ideological heirs of the contemptible tyrannophiles who did their utmost to keep their countrymen under the brutal heel of the Redcoats.
Unfortunately, they ultimately managed to do just that.

The whitewashed history since then has lionized the inauguration of the divorce from the United Kingdom on this day and mistakenly links these events to all the “freedom” enjoyed under the Constitution. The Federalist coup in 1787 that reestablished an English-style yoke of central planning, national taxation and slight tinkering with indentured servitude to a kinder and gentler tax and regulatory apparatus did no more grant individual freedom than the Romans gave to conquered lands.
"Grant"?
ReplyDeleteGrant what? I'm distantly related to Ulysses Grant. :) There were a great many good and wise people involved in that "revolution" and afterwards. Unfortunately, many were duped by the statists. And many didn't have the wealth or power to counteract the bogus "authority" of the statists who eventually took control - with the same cheating, lies and false "facts" as are used by the statists who rule today.
