So in 1773, Sarah Palin, Nancy Pelosi, and Abigail Adams would all have been at home having births… and miscarriages, dealing with small pox, and deciding whether to drink tea on the sly…or not.
It is true that libs tend to be hazy on the details of the Revolution and Constitution, but Tea Party people tend to pretend that we can perform magic and go back…when NO ONE could possibly want to do that. What’s ideal about 1773, though, from a righty perspective is that we were beginning to have no functioning government AT ALL. Once the War started, taxes had to be paid locally to support the soldiers and they have just kept on rising for abut 240 years.
It was a very good time though; if you got sick, you did the patriotic thing…and died without burdening you fellow citizens. We have become so wimpy, wanting to live long lives, be comfortable etc. I despair for my country.
