Interesting. I am not a fan of theirs, but they make a good point here.

Actually they make two errors:

1) the Revolutionary war was not fought for two years (granted, minor error, unrelated to the rest of their points).

2) "well regulated militia" does not refer to a "military" to defend the country.

The founders were clear that by militia they meant all of the people capable of bearing arms. The constitution has many instances of an explanatory clause followed by a declarative clause. The explanatory clause outlines the need and the declarative clause gives the power or restriction.

To promote the arts and sciences, the exclusive right to the writing or discovery is granted for a limited time. Congress does not have the power to do anything that would promote the arts and science, they have the power to grant patents for that purpose.

I got probably 200 emails today, many of which were duplicates, and most of which were spam. I don’t remember seeing one with the subject Hillary email.

Depends on when you define the start of the war. Some will place it not at Lexington or Concord, but rather in 1774 when, the colonists rejected parlimentary rule and formed the First Continental Congress. If you want to base it simply on the use of force, British troops were already killing politically active colonists in 1770.

The militia were under the command of Washington in the Revolutionary War, so Penn is not completely incorrect in referring to the militia as military in that context.
