"anti government sentiment?"
I think they mean "anti this
government sentiment." Hell, you're dull-witted,
unpatriotic, or both if you don't fear and loathe these people.
By the by, I've
been re-watching The
Revolution on Net Flix.
If you've never watched this 13
episode series, I most heartedly recommend that you do. I
grew up
being a War of Rebellion buff
(sometimes called the American Civil
War,
which it was not), with not much interest by comparison in this period.
Watching
it led me to read further about George Washington, and I am now
convinced that he was providentially sent to us. Or, we were damned
lucky in the alternative. In any event you'll find yourself
swelled
with pride, which is a good thing to rekindle after these last three
years of terror and shame..

Down in the South people still call it the war of northern aggression.
ReplyDeleteWhich is more accurate than "civil war"
ReplyDeleteIn any discussion of who was greater, Washington or Lincoln, I always give the nod to George, for this reason: When his turn was up, he left power. He didn't have to, and it was almost unheard of at the time.
ReplyDeleteUSA!!! UAS!!! USA!!!
Down in the South people still call it the war of northern aggression.
ReplyDeleteI've a good Southern belle friend, about 71, who still refers to this as "The recent unpleasantness."
People talk of having a new constitutional convention, to bring the current living document "up to date".
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, we no longer have geniuses like Washington, Madison, Jefferson and their contemporaries. Any constitution we came up with today would probably be mishmash of every liberal wet dream imaginable.
I say leave well enough alone - stick to the original.
