I watched the beginning of a new mini series last night on HBO. John Adams. It seems to be a very accurate portrayal of the birth of our nation. I like history and have always watched and read about the Revolutionary War period, but never anything like this.
All the usual suspects: John & Sam Adams, Thomas J, Ben Franklin, G.W. etc.
Brave, patriotic & passionate. Outspoken and eloquent gentlemen with purpose. Willing to stand up for what they believe and even risk death. They were looking out for the common good for their fellow colonists. Unalienable basic rights given by god. They asked for this with no individual reward in return. No power, no money.
How interesting to watch the behind the scenes of the birth of America behind the stones of these men. These men who the king called radicals and traitors.
232 Years later we have Cindy Sheehan, Michael Moore, Ted Kennedy, The Clintons, Pelosi, amongst the many, many others who stand up to government and their policies and proclaim themselves defenders of the Constitution.
Question of the Day.
Is there any correlation between these people?
