At Lexington Green in 1775 (April 19) the roving band of armed malcontents won over the forces of law and order and government. Which is why we have our own republic now.

The American rebels at Lexington in fact had organized into a regulated force, under the orders of civilian government. I was talking more about something from The Road Warrior, where a gang of rapists, thieves, and murderers under the command of the hockey masked Humongous (the Ayatollah of Rockn'Rolla!) wreck havoc everywhere they go.

-Bill, otherwise known as Kraichgauer


The forces of laws and order regarded the Rebel Organization as gangs of thugs and outlaws.

Capt. Parker and his men were addressed by the British Officer as law breakers and criminals and told to disperse. They did not and that is why we have a republic. Because armed thugs and lawbreakers won the day.

Being regarded as an outlaw and thug is one thing, while actually being one is quite another.

The Rebels committed treason against the Realm and against the King. Had the Brits won, many Rebels would have died at the end of a rope. They were traitors and insurrectionists. They were law breakers.

Well, I suppose being a traitor or a patriot is in the eye of the beholder.

After the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Ben Franklin said to the other signers, we must now hang together or we will hand separately. Franklin knew he had committed treason.

Wasn't planning on it...his political ads alone are enough to make me not want to vote for him.

U.S. politics is mostly a massive turn-off. Half the country seems to be obsessed with Jesus.

He made some money, what's wrong with that? Success is not something that should be punished.

I actually saw a Romney quote that I really liked.

"Success should not be measured by how many people are on welfare, but by how many people get off welfare and get jobs."

It's nothing to do with him having success. It's the whole philosophy behind him, that the rich are the only citizens worth taking note of. I'm not just talking about Romney putting his foot in his mouth over the 47%, but also where Fox and Limbaugh speak of the Rich as our most "productive citizens," while demeaning the poor as shiftless and essentially worthless.

Maybe he ought to criticize corporate welfare.......rather than pretending its the existence of welfare bringing this nation down.

And how many jobs did this capital flight capitalist create ? If he thinks China or the Cayman Islands is so wonderful why doesn't he reside their? At least the top hatted 19th early 20 th century capitalists created real jobs and paid taxes

What an awful awful man .

The new deal mk 2 is coming sooner than latter, bet on it , I hope sooner than latter for you Americans
