What is sickening to me is the majority of these posters tut-tutting and expressing their disdain for the verbal raucousness of the anti-Romney people at the convention, have no idea what wimps they would be in the eyes of their forbears from the 1700s.
Even the lack of decorum described in the article about the convention in Arizona is relatively mild. My great-great-great-great-great grandfather was throwing rotten eggs and tomatoes at the establishment hacks in town-hall meetings, and his sons were shooting bullets at Loyalists shortly thereafter. The Loyalists later became some of Canada’s finest citizens.
Facts and history are not that appreciated, even on our side.
We have folks, out of fear and desperation, cooperating with a socialist on a Republican ticket.
Did ya’ ever think you’d see the day? I thought this could only happen in Germany at train stations.
So true; in fact, politics could be deadly! One of my ancestors fought a fellow in a duel(Al. Hamilton) in New Jersey a long time ago.. A fellow named Aaron Burr! Of course most, if not all of us know what happened w/that!

Amen. Based upon the culture, Parties, the philosophies of the people in charge today we’d still be bowing down to the King of England. Today anyone that doesn’t agree and accept what the establishment line throws out is labeled an outcast. We’ve become a nation of partisan lackeys that will graciously accept cronyism and corruption depending on the Party.
I don’t like Romney; I don’t like Obama, I don’t like our perpetual state of fighting wars and defending others without receiving just and full compensation from those affluent countries. I didn’t like Bush bailing out the banks, and I don’t like Obama continuing. I suspect Romney will continue and we’ll continue with a Fed that supports the casino of Wall St by artificially keeping rates low by buying Treasuries instead of supporting conservative savers and allowing institutions to get a riskless return on interest bearing instruments.
Bailing out big business and overpaid CEOS that ruined their business and supporting illegals and the half the country has become the American way and along with our wars we’re broke.
Loyalists are part of what is wrong with Canada; however I think sometimes there effect is overstated, as only something like 30,000 actually left to go to Canada.
