False Authority

"The Three Percenters are a national group that was loosely organized in 2008 by Mike Vanderboegh..." [More]

If Dictionary.com knew what they were talking about, they'd know Mike did not envision it to be a group nor "organize" it at all. To the contrary:

The Three Percent idea, the movement, the ideal, was designed to be a simple, powerful concept that could not be infiltrated or subjected to agents provocateurs like many organizations that I observed in the constitutional militia movement of the 90s.

There's also a huge difference between " during the American Revolution [15–25%] actually served in George Washington's army," which is cumulative, and "During the American Revolution, the active forces in the field against the King's tyranny never amounted to more than 3% of the colonists," which varied at any given time.

I see there are those now claiming the mantle of Three Percent leadership, some without even crediting Mike or even knowing who he was, and others psychotically celebrating his agonizing and extended dying process. There's no shortage of those who presume to teach when they're demonstrably not even qualified to be in the classroom without passing some prerequisites. And in the case of Dictionary.com, it appears they're just agenda-driven liars.

Unfortunately, theirs are the voices that influence the ignorant.
