They enforced a tyrannical rule over innocent people and killed thousands of Americans. A few decades later, they killed thousands more Americans in the War of 1812. Your selective memory is purely political and not based on fact.
Seriously? You're going to bet that "oral history" is accurate? Ever hear of the game "Gossip" or "Telephone"?
Wow. You're really out there.
Embarrassed because you brought up oral history? You should be. While it exists, it's inaccurate. If, indeed, Moses wrote the first 5 books of the Bible, then his source was purely oral history....about 2600 years worth.
Wow! You never heard of the American Revolution and the War of 1812? Here, let me help:
Moorelloyd, you knew this is a lie when you posted it, didn't you? It's amazing how many people will believe this kind of crap when it favors their POV! This is just an update on one of those chain Emails I received during the Bush admin and the Iraq war that said our troops were banned from praying before going on a mission. And another that said Democrats are trying to get all crosses removed from graves at national cemeteries. And it is believed! Good grief! Do you think most Americans are THAT stupid, that you insult us with that pathetic crap?
Are the flags banned or not?
I don't know if there is a local ban, but there is NO BAN by Obama. No XO. It's a lie!
Calm down. Since when did President Obama stop being the Commander in Chief? Are you saying President Obama couldn't or wouldn't reverse the ban if he wanted to do so?
aka Kamikazi, I was quoting Moore when I mentioned the XO. This thread is based on the lie that an Obama XO bypassed Congress to ban the flags, and I believe I cited his post in my response. I am sorry if I was not clear to you. As I stated earlier, I remember well all the demonizing thru chain Emails of the most blatant lies that Republicans spread during the Iraq war. A Republican friend of mine working as a civilian in Mosul at the time forwarded a couple to me (the ban on Christian prayer and the removal of crosses in national cemeteries), and I challenged him. He fact-checked and deleted them with an apology, so I can't forward any, but I think you know of the demonizing campaign. My objective here is to challenge the OP.
Interesting that you call someone a traitor who was serving their "country", yet you love soldiers who attack the United States.
"My country, right or wrong" is a motto of nationalists, not patriots.

Well, now, Divine, first of all, we declared war on Britain before they declared war on us in 1812. How did you expect British soldiers to react? Second, our War of Independence was equivalent to a civil war, to Britain. We were subjects of Britain, and living in a British colony, and we launched a rebellion, exactly like the South later did against the union. Again, how would you expect the British to react? Especially, since they had just invested one hell of a lot of money in the American colonies defending us against the French and Indians, in that war. In fact, to them, George Washington, who had been a British officer fighting the French in that war, was, indeed, a traitor to the British by changing uniforms and fighting the British just a few years later. I have to ask myself whether you understand history or not, or are you just another, "My country, right or wrong" patriot.

The revisionist history came with Sandburg.
Patriots never lose their country now do they? Until 2008."My country, right or wrong" is a motto of nationalists, not patriots.
