‘there was a story about an American who renounced his country and was perpetually remanded to different warships off-shore as a punishment - never to see his homeland again.’
The story is ‘The Man Without a Country’, by Edward Everett Hale, written in 1863 about fictional incidents surrounding the treason trial of Aaron Burr in 1807. It was meant as an attack on ‘traitor’ confederates. It has no connection to Francis Scott Key.
Hard to square with today’s “polls” showing Dems surging into the lead in many campaigns.
BULL CRAP!
Or Allen West, USArmy ret and an on-fire patriot. Florida, Vote West!
A great read!
Thank you!
I read that as an impressionable youth in an old book at my grandmother’s house in the 70s. I had to be under 10 at the time.
It stuck with my ever since, and I think it gave me a base for my patriotism.
If Zernike thinks the Tea Party wave is due to punk libertarians, well all I can tell Zernike is that we need more punk libertarians.
An open admission would have to acknowledge that Congress now represents our creditors interests-as opposed to those of We the People.
As our creditors expect payment for what was lent Congress...Congress’ principle job now is to complete our enslavement.
Don't look for 60 minutes to be doing any “investigative” reporting. Most Congressscritters would wind up on trial for treason for betraying us....or at least failing to legislatively ensure that what was lent could be paid back.
I think dead ingrates would be more like it.
