Dave:

Some of these guys forget we are all interested in a better world. The sad part is they want it to be the way they see it and not the way others see it.

Forget the rhetoric and just for one day try a "group hug".

Oh, and just to put things in perspective (and probably piss a few people off) George Washington, Paul Revere, and the Minute Men were all "Insurgents"!

Couldn't resist, could you?

I wonder if the Brits called them "terrorists"?

King George did, though he was also going mad from lead poisoning.

Nope, couldn't resist. Just a little history lesson, and the rabble rouser in me.

Have a great 4th, all.

Yes I do, but I'm sure it won't take long for some "patriot" to turn it around.

Ever notice the word "Patriot" contains the word "riot"?

Sort of like "funeral" contains the word "fun".

If King George were alive today, he would be treated with drugs and advised to avoid too much sunlight.

Liberal or not, one thing is true. George lost the colonies, and this George is losing a war. How's that for history, Cap'n?

LOL. I have had family in the this country since the 1740s. The ugly truth? They were British symapthizers and were run out of the country during the war. Came back from Canada in the 1850s. Real proud patriotic history

Yep, there go those damn liberals again! Saying King George was dying of lead poisoning when it was really porphyria.

How relevant.

Reddish blue urine sounds like a nice festive touch for the 4th. I'm surprised Martha Stewart didn't think of it first.
