We’s all domestic terrorists now. We are terrorizing leftists as they see their dreams of imposing a police state socialist Utopia melt away for another 30 years. Ya’all rednecks should stop terrorizing Mr. Thugstien of Chicago.
Treason against Mordor-on-the-Potomac? Absolutely!
We are all Hobbits now ;+)
We are all Rohirrim now!
Thing to remember is that Americans didn't kill all the Indians; Americans didn't create and impose slavery on the blacks; Americans didn't carve out the original boundaries dividing the North American continent into Russian, Spanish, French, Portuguese, French and Scottish zones of control.
Scottish? Yeah, it was called Acadia. Philippe II/III gave it to James I/IV, a fellow I guess you'd call a fairly close in-law, but not a close cousin (remember, all the European royals and top nobles are cousins of some kind). I believe they were raised together by tutors and nannies for a while ~ someone might check that.
There was a desolate wasteland East of the Mountains that ran from the Virginia/Carolana border North to the Acadia border (roughly today's New York, Pennsylvania border).
The reason there was a desolate wasteland was a 70 year period of short rainfall, and 17 years of intense drought ~ Virginia was not a nice place to live. The Spanish actually pulled out in 1598 long before the Treaty of London (1604).
All the best lands in America were given to other countries ~ it having been obvious for quite some time that Spain by itself could hardly develop the place, nor even Spain allied with the Hapsburg Empire!
America was wild, rich, wonderful and immense, but Virginia ~ as large as any European nation, was short of fresh water, and the swamps bred deadly diseases.
Only the toughest of the tough, and then only the most desperate of their kind would come to Virginia to settle. And so it is that the first immigrant to this horrible place built a shack on the banks of the James River near Martin's Hundred about 1598. He undoubtedly watched his former employers, the Spaniards, sail past on their way to Santa Fe! He was joined at Jamestown 10 years later by the last Spaniard left at the mission at Hopewell.
Such are the modest beginnings of the world's most powerful nation.
The leftwingtards who meow and hiss about all the evil America has done KNOW NOTHING. Good people will ignore them.
