   Obama worked hard to oppose Putin.

   Never claimed YOU did. I speculated on one, in an earlier post. It’s not always about you, Gaunt, ole buddy ;)

   That was a fun, crazy book to read. I always think of Jefferson and the other FFer’s reading it when it was new.

   Mr. 5, you said, to Patjade “The Constitution and the writings of the founding fathers do not support your contention.”

   Then you said, to me, "Nowhere did I say “…that there is no evidence towards conservative Americans willing to remain under British rule?”

   DO NOT SUPPORT means NO EVIDENCE

   Unless you’re using the Conservatives Disinformation Dictionary.

   What I am tired of is lying, stinking idiots who say a thing, and then turn around and claim that they never said no such thing.

   Not you, of course, you would never do that. Unfortunately I am speaking of the president and his supporters.

   You, on the other hand, will be relieved to know that I am a middle school history teacher. You can rest assured that I am teaching the American Revolution properly. No wishful thinking, no revisionist lies.

   Thomas Jefferson, the author of the document you claim as your ‘evidence’ for conservatism was an avowed Enlightenment Thinker. Just as were Franklin and Adams. They followed the beliefs of Voltaire, Montesquieu and Rousseau. Jefferson’s “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness” were borrowed from John Locke, who put them in his draft of the Carolina Constitution.

   They were LIBERALS. Not only of their time, but for ALL time. This is true, this is evidence which you cannot, with honor, deny. You want to be a conservative, by all means. But at least be an honest, educated, conservative. It used to be that there were all kinds of them around. Maybe you could bring the conservative values truth, honor and dignity back from the dead.

    Seeing as every emergency vehicle in Tracy Town is there, this might be a good time to rob an all night bank.
