Time to re-establish the Founders’ Committees of Safety to take on the fascists occupying Washington.
“What I go from “2016” was that D’Souza considered Obama to have been profoundly influenced by anti-colonial views while growing up and that this influence explains Obama’s tendency to want to diminish the power and influence of the United States. D’Souza’s arguments were well reasoned and compelling.”
This was my take on D’Souza’s “America” too.
As far as our founding fathers, my take is that they would have been perfectly happy to be part of the British empire if the hadn’t been oppressed by the crown. No taxation without representation. They believe that Britain was oppressing the colonies purely on the fact of where they had been born. They considered themselves to be British subjects until the oppression became more than they could bear.
