The press dopes v. facts (aka fundamentals)

Lets start this brief basic observation supported by facts with a few fundamental Q and A’s – here goes:

·         Why is there an America – we ask you?

·         If you either don’t know – can’t recall – or listen to press dopes today – well we are going to answer the question with a few simple words borrowed by our last good top guy – here is why there is an America – 

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.

My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

·         Lets have some fun folks – name one of the current 435/100/9 smelly ones who lives – yes we mean actually doesn’t pretend to live by the above words but the SMELLY ONE actually lives by them and would fight and die for them and to pass them along to their kids and other kids.

·         Now do you know anyone who has fought and risked dying for the few words and the basic FUNDAMENTAL contained in them?

·         Have you ever read a history book – or read about our revolution (if you don’t know what a revolution is look it up in a dictionary) or, even better, read these words written by a founder/fighter for America a while back:

Extract from Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith

Paris Nov. 13. 1787.

the people can not be all, & always, well informed. the part which is wrong [. . .] will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. if they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. we have had 13. states independant 11. years. there has been one rebellion. that comes to one rebellion in a century & a half for each state. what country before ever existed a century & half without a rebellion? & what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms. the remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. what signify a few lives lost in a century or two? the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. it is it’s natural manure.
