This article takes on the quisling Republican Party and shows patriot conservatives a dramatic plan of reform that will allow them to take back the country and begin the restoration of the Republic that Jefferson and the Founders envisioned.

In 1776, the Tories timidly hid behind closed doors where it was safe and popular. They wallowed in pessimism and lamented that nothing could be done.

Historically inaccurate. The safe and popular thing to do was to keep a low profile. Many Tories put themselves out there for what they believed in and suffered economic retaliation, mob violence, state confiscation of their property, imprisonment and even death.

A great many of them were eventually forcibly or voluntarily exiled from their homes. They totaled about 3% of the population of the USA at the time, which would equate to about 10M Americans today.

Some of them, as on the Patriot side, were no doubt opportunists and siding with those they thought would win.

But there is no reason not to believe many of them were honorable men. Just as in our second civil war, honorable men and scoundrels were found on both sides.

The timid thing to do was to not take sides. Tories were routed and burned out all over, their properties seized and auctioned to pay for the war. They were wrong, but they were not timid.

In 1776, the Tories timidly hid behind closed doors where it was safe and popular. They wallowed in pessimism and lamented that nothing could be done. The British were too strong.

Tories were people who supported the British.
