pshhhawww, all of that is NRA-scripted US history, interesting only in a clinical context because it dwells in the same brains with legends of Andrew "Hillbilly with a Red Stick" Jackson pacifyin' the bank and peaceful, freedom-lovin' frontier settlement by wagon trains and boxcars of smallpox-infested blankets. It's the blankets wut done it, yanno, in lieu of bits of Federalist Papers #46, #29, #10 where Madison and Hamilton disagreed that the purposes of "militia" --as opposed to a standing army-- were to serve the state. They didn't.

So-called multicultural curricula have profoundly disturbed their reveries these 50 years passing. I've waded through so many of these innerboob "debates", the only argument that could surprise me now is an original one: juxtaposing US and British traditions in political expedience is not one. Repeal is too difficult is not one.

US "liberalism" can only be understood in relation to Crown monopoly powers and of course the many instances British gov reneged on international treaties from which um settler-colonists expected to benefit. One consolation to me is, my child figured the scam with one year of AP US Government. And believe you me, Wilson and DiIulio together are no Zinn.

Congress' wily politicians have been periodically raising armies with promises of bond redemptions and REAL ESTATE spoils since they stepped boot on North America.

As it happens, here is a timely reminder, "Theft is Part of US DNA>"
