Nice selective editing. Try this for size, from the link:
Boston University history professor Brendan McConville said, “Basically when Paul Revere was stopped by the British, he did say to them, ‘Look, there is a mobilization going on that you’ll be confronting,’ and the British are aware as they’re marching down the countryside, they hear church bells ringing — she was right about that — and warning shots being fired. That’s accurate.â€
Patrick Leehey of the Paul Revere House said Revere was probably bluffing his British captors, but reluctantly conceded that it could be construed as Revere warning the British.
“I suppose you could say that,†Leehey said. “But I don’t know if that’s really what Mrs. Palin was referring to.â€
McConville said he also is not convinced that Palin’s remarks reflect scholarship."
What Sarah was talking about happened after Revere and his group did the warning of the colonists with the lights. Sarah was wrong that Revere's mission was to warn off the British. But she won't admit it. There are many threads about this from today when that nonsensical article appeared in a conservative record.
Oh, LOL! Jay Leno is now talking about this.
Of course Palin knows the same scripted story of Paul's ride, that all of us heard in grade school. But we also know that Palin has always been one to stick it to the establishment, whether its the media establishment, or the good old boys network. I sure she read about this encounter Revere had with the British, and identified with it.
The right to self-defense is a basic human right. Our basic human rightrs come from our Creator and not from government. Why is that difficult to you to comprehend. Perhaps you prefer worshiping the state or the leader of the state so that you can pretend your rights come from the state instead?
Where do you arrive at the conclusion that the British were trying to disarm the colonists?
..please explain how rights come from the creator??.....not busting your b's..just curious how you arrive at that statement
People have Rights, they aren't granted by the whim of a government. It was probably explicitly spelled out by the founding fathers in the Declaration of Independence and most people seem to agree with them.
Quote:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
If government grants rights, government can revoke rights, I don't think anyone wants that.
