**I read it in a history book and THEN I read it on line**

Name of book? Author? Publishing company? Those facts alone will offer a great understanding.

Kid,I NEVER Google anything; not ever!

I know history cold; especially English history. You can be "a 1,000% positive",but that doesn't really mean anything whatsoever.Your constant uneducated posts prove that you are abjectly ignorant of all that you do post about. Give it a rest.

Dig,dig,dig,dig,dig...aren't your arms getting tired?

nopardons, are you familiar with Charles C Coffin, a civil war journalist? Three of the books he wrote were Land of Liberty, Sweet Land of Liberty, The Boys of 76. Excellent reads, all of them. Not fast reads either. Very thought provoking. Land of Liberty begins in the 13th century, sharing unfortunate church history and how the puritans ultimately ventured to the new land...and why. It also includes the truths of Salem's witch trials and how they were a percentage of what had been going on in Europe for many years. Much more is written of course.

I urge everyone to read these fine books.

Well, MRS TIGGYWINKLE- I don't recall. It was a history book. But if you are SO interested please google it. No Pardons however, is above googleing things, and it also seems she is against learning new information about things she is misinformed on. Cromwell's England was no United States in terms of religious tolerance, but it was progressive for the time.

You urge everyone? Or just me. Somehow, I don't think that
that you were sincerly earnest in your recommendation.

Laura, earlier in this thread I encouraged you to read those books. My last post was yet another encouragement to do so. In fact, everyone *should* read them to gain an amazing knowledge of how 'we' came to desire and appreciate the liberty set before us in this great land. Good reads for EVERYONE! I have the set of three and plan to acquire his writings from the civil war (would go rather nicely with my ancestor's civil war diary and picture). Charles Coffin had amazing insight to go along with his incredible knowledge of history.

- Nopardons and I were engaged in an arguement. NoPardons has insulted my intelligence which heightened the intensity,


this is clear in the posts.


And then you come along, post to both of us, and ask Nopardons if she has read a certain book on History. No no wait. You have the audacity to ask me what publisher of the book I read certain information in.

As if I had not been forthright.

So no, you were not earnest and you are being an antagonizer.

My post 17 shows where I suggest the books to read

My post 148 shows where I suggest the books to read

My post 149 shows that I first suggested the books in post 17

Your post 150 is simply childish.

You read a book,but don't know the title of it? All you have is a Google link,but I am the one who is "misinformed"? REALLY?

Cromwell may have allowed Jews back into England,but they were treated VERY harshly under his rule and refused citizen rights of any and every kind.

The Diggers and the Ranters and the Levellers were all not only suppressed by him,but put down and they were Christians.

Try reading "A SOCIAL HISTORY OF ENGLAND", by Asa Briggs, "THIS WAR WITHOIUT AN ENEMY", by Richard Olland, "THED OXFORD ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF BRITAN",edited by Kenneth O. Morgan, "THE LIFE AND TIMES OF CHARLES II", by Christopher Falks, and " LONDON THE BIOGRAPHY", by Peter Ackroyd (whose other books are absolutely wonderful,well written,brilliantly researched,and eminently readable!) for starters. Once you've managed to aster the material in the aforementioned books, I'll give you another book list.

"" Once you've managed to aster the material in the aforementioned books, I'll give you another book list.""

Why would I want your book list? Why would I want to ask you for your personal recommendation. I should do my own damn research, remember?

Unless, you are making an effort to conciliate but I doubt it.

"" Are you aware, Laura, that google search results don't always link for truth? ""

Yes, and that's why I look for credible sources. There are credible sources on line, organization sponsored, government sponsored, University sponsored. Thanks.


"You need to dig deeper and research who the authors are of what you're reading."

I do.


""There are people in this world who desire to feed untruths to unsuspecting individuals.""

I live in the state that elected Hillary Clinton for Senator, HILLARY "NATIONAL HEALTHCARE" CLINTON! I am VERY informed don't doubt it.

Also,

The internet has aided and full blown brought about the conservative revolution. Because of the internet, and search engines like google people have been able to learn the truth.
"Democrats are afraid people will learn the truth, Republicans are afraid they won't. "

Why do you consider nopardons an elitist?

She has challenged you on some serious issues/subjects. I hardly consider her being guilty of elitism. Share, please?

I would venture to say that could apply to any one of us, one time or another. Would you agree?
