This Labor Day let us remember those who worked to help build this great country of ours.
Let's listen to the folks at People For A Free Country.com as the conversation continues;
To: FreeMe
Oh yeah? Well the Battle of Cowpens was a JOKE! Generals Green and Morgan didn't win the battle. I don't care what anybody says. Washington doesn't know one end of a musket from the other... and Green and Morgan are no better.What idiots. Next thing you know, they'll be sending our guys to Guilford Court, for crying out loud.
WE NEED PEOPLE IN COMMAND WHO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING!

Thank you for finally saying what many of us are thinking. I, for one, am disappointed and disillusioned in our war tactics and leaders. I am tired of the in-fighting and name calling. Some people just can't see the wart on the end of their nose. That wart being Washington and all his land-grabbing cronies who are in this for political gain.
I begin to think People For A Free Country is a cult ... one I plan on leaving unless things begin to change around here.

It's apparent FreeMe has decided to ignore you both. But I can't. The Battle of Cowpens was brilliantly fought and led. Washington may not be perfect, but I have not seen anyone better. You armchair Generals overreach, I think ... and are doing nothing to help the cause.

"but I have not seen anyone better" ... that must be the stupidest thing I have ever seen posted on PFAFC.
Queue tied too tight?! Just because you have not seen anybody better doesn't mean THERE ISN'T SOMEONE BETTER!
I swear, this sight has lost its focus. Just because we criticize Washington and his gang doesn't mean we want to remain tied to Britain. But is seems to me we are using a lot of folks who DON'T belong here ... Canadians ... Frenchmen come to mind ... to do the job your King Washington can't do himself ...

I really wish we could stop fighting amongst ourselves. I've noticed movement north. There's more important things to fight about.

Oh shut up you. You're an egg shy of a pudding, as usual. And just looky here! We did battle at Guilford! And guess WHAT?! We LOST!
Ever wonder why there are stripes/bars on our new flag?! 'Tis a symbol! We went from one prison to another ... I really hope you Washington-worshippers are happy now.

Hate to rain on your grog-filled parade ... we may have technically lost at Guilford Court, but it was a defining moment in the war. The British suffered losses not acceptable. Cornwallis in on the run.

That's it. This site is obviously a bullhorn for weak-kneed Washington. I am done with it.
When the day dawns and you see we've done something so tactically dumb as to wage a battle in Yorktown ... or someplace just as difficult to prevail ... maybe you'll wake up.
I won't be there to see it though. I've better fields to plow.

I don't think their intent is to win. I think they only want more land. They are in cahoots with the King and are poisoning our soldiers and using tainted bandages. I have a reliable source which told me of this.

I don't think human nature has changed all that much, guys.
Let's hang in there ... this too share pass.
I hope that your wound heals quickly ..... that sounds pretty painful!
I am nominating this for Essay of the Week (as a minimum ..... Month or Year might even be appropriate!).
Remember what the Mel Gibson character in "The Patriot" said: "Stay the Course."
The truth is, many benefited from the actions and decisions of a few serious Patriots.
WE must keep our focus, and do no less.
The Battle of Cowpens: one of my favorites! LOL!

Ack ... the day comes I don't mess up a post ... pigs and cows will dance together ...
Yes, Molly ... I was thinking of you all the while. *grins*
