The concepts of liberty, limited and separated governmental powers, and the unbelievable and unlikely success of the Colonists will be discussed.  Starring George Washington.

Starring George Washington

One of my favorite 1776 quotes:

Franklin did this and Franklin did that and Franklin did some other damn thing. Franklin smote the ground and out sprang George Washington, fully grown and on his horse. Franklin then electrified him with his miraculous lightning rod and the three of them - Franklin, Washington, and the horse - conducted the entire revolution by themselves.

Does Trump have a cameo, similar to Home Alone 2?

 


Can anyone here play this game?

He leads the charge against the British airports… by shooting tariffs at them.

Goes without saying. Just as long as he receives sufficient camera time. Many people are saying it would thus be Ken Burns’s best show ever. The best anyone has ever seen.

Me too.  The most hidden US History is the Oneida nation breaking with the Iroquois federation and taking up arms with the American Revolutionaries and against the British Crown, at great risk to the Oneida.  I was largely unaware of that history until recently. I’m wondering how Burns will handle that. 

Incidently, I think one of the best museums in the Country is the relatively new Museum to the American Revolution in Philadelphia.  This museum shouldn’t be missed.

WOW, me too! I use that one all of the time. Who would have known, Right? 

 


If men were any more stupid, we would have breed for the extinction of women. Proof yet again that WE are the best thing they have going for them.

@all4you  Way to seize the moment. Every few weeks I think I should find a place to squeeze those in but never remember when something comes up. You and your carpe diem does it.

previews suggest he deals with the various American Indian issues, including some walking away from battles in the “west” because the level of slaughter was new to them. “These white dudes be crazy.”

I've been amped up for this since the project was announced. Too bad Trump and Braun want to kill it.
