NPR@NPR
In Congress, July 4, 1776.
NPR@NPR
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
NPR@NPR
When in the Course of human events,
NPR@NPR
it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another,
NPR@NPR
and to assume among the powers of the earth,
NPR@NPR
the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them,
NPR@NPR
a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
NPR@NPR
We hold these truths to be self-evident,
NPR@NPR
that all men are created equal,
NPR@NPR
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
NPR@NPR
that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
NPR@NPR
--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men,
NPR@NPR
deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
NPR@NPR
--That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends,
NPR@NPR
it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,
NPR@NPR
laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form,
NPR@NPR
as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
NPR@NPR
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes;
NPR@NPR
and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable,
NPR@NPR
than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
NPR@NPR
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations,
NPR@NPR
pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism,
NPR@NPR
it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government,
NPR@NPR
and to provide new Guards for their future security.
NPR@NPR
--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies;
NPR@NPR
and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.
NPR@NPR
The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations,
NPR@NPR
all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.
NPR@NPR
To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
NPR@NPR
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
NPR@NPR
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance,
NPR@NPR
unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained;
NPR@NPR
and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
NPR@NPR
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people,
NPR@NPR
unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature,
NPR@NPR
a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
NPR@NPR
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records,
NPR@NPR
for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
NPR@NPR
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
NPR@NPR
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected;
NPR@NPR
whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise;
NPR@NPR
the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
NPR@NPR
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States;
NPR@NPR
for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners;
NPR@NPR
refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
NPR@NPR
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
NPR@NPR
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
NPR@NPR
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
NPR@NPR
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
NPR@NPR
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
NPR@NPR
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution,
NPR@NPR
and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
NPR@NPR
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
NPR@NPR
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
NPR@NPR
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
NPR@NPR
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
NPR@NPR
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
NPR@NPR
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
NPR@NPR
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province,
NPR@NPR
establishing therein an Arbitrary government,
NPR@NPR
and enlarging its Boundaries
NPR@NPR
so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
NPR@NPR
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
NPR@NPR
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
NPR@NPR
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
NPR@NPR
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
NPR@NPR
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny,
NPR@NPR
already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages,
NPR@NPR
and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
NPR@NPR
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country,
NPR@NPR
to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
NPR@NPR
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us,
NPR@NPR
and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages,
NPR@NPR
whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
NPR@NPR
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms:
NPR@NPR
Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury.
NPR@NPR
A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
NPR@NPR
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren.
NPR@NPR
We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us.
NPR@NPR
We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here.
NPR@NPR
We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity,
NPR@NPR
and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations,
NPR@NPR
which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence.
NPR@NPR
They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity.
NPR@NPR
We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity,
NPR@NPR
which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
NPR@NPR
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America,
NPR@NPR
in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions,
NPR@NPR
do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies,
NPR@NPR
solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States;
NPR@NPR
that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown,
NPR@NPR
and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain,
NPR@NPR
is and ought to be totally dissolved;
NPR@NPR
and that as Free and Independent States,
NPR@NPR
they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce,
NPR@NPR
and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do.
NPR@NPR
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence,
NPR@NPR
we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

No women signed
Sue Stroud@suestroud
but one printed the first clear and full copies from her own printing press and made them available to the people
⚡️Kathy E Gill@kegill
Who was that, Sue?
gingermintjulep@gingermintjulep
Not Sue, but the woman who printed copies was Mary Katherine Goddard.
Sue Stroud@suestroud
This woman’s name appears on the Declaration of Independence. So why don’t we know her story?
Mary Katherine Goddard is like a Founding Mother, of sorts, yet few folks know about her and the important role her printing press played in disseminating the Declaration of Independence

A people with a ruler is, by definition, not truly free.
ProfessingProf@Professing_Prof
The Constitution is based on the government being by the consent of the people, i.e., "We the people..." So it is self governance
John Tyner@tyneejohn
The fact that people choose their rulers does not make them free. They remain a ruled people and thus, not truly free.
Nate@NateInPhilly
A constitution implies consent. We the people are consenting to be ruled or governed. It's a contract more or less.
JDM@JDMDesignLLC
A contract without reciprocity does not a contract make. Mark Twain. (maybe)

i disagree. A free ppl is 1 w/ autonomous choice even if that leads to less autonomy. U can always exit the social contract
Ocho@BigMikeyOcho
Hence why our leaders aren't rulers, they're representatives. The President is not the boss, he is the employee of every citizen.
John Tyner@tyneejohn
Distinction without difference, in my (apparently unpopular) opinion. Idea of President as employee is theory. Not the case in practice.
ProfessingProf@Professing_Prof
If he was an employee we would have fired him...
John Tyner@tyneejohn
Now, there's something we can agree on!

Alot of us ARE trying to get him fired. And as a free people we have the right to push for that. & To elect people in 2018 who will do it.

Normal presidents see themselves as representatives. With this one you have a point, but he's the one who is wrong.

May see themselves that way. History shows they rarely, if ever, act that way. All tend to expand power in ways detrimental to the people.
Mat Babiak 🚫@MatBabiak
Distinction with difference, just because you dont want to recognize reality here. A head of state executes laws, he does not "rule"
Elizabeth Sanderson@Artchivesgrrl
Freedom without responsible governance over oneself and one's nation is chaos. Better is liberty.
Elizabeth Sanderson@Artchivesgrrl
It's an important distinction. And one Jefferson wrote a lot about.
Elizabeth Sanderson@Artchivesgrrl
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. "
Elizabeth Sanderson@Artchivesgrrl
I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will,"
Elizabeth Sanderson@Artchivesgrrl
"and always so when it violates the rights of the individual."
Elizabeth Sanderson@Artchivesgrrl
Unfettered freedom allows the tyrant to oppress. We must be willing to submit to reasonable authority in order
Elizabeth Sanderson@Artchivesgrrl
to protect the individual liberty of all. And rise up when authority becomes unreasonable.
ProfessingProf@Professing_Prof
Exactly. The Founders did not want another King or even an office that could morph into a Kingship.
John Tyner@tyneejohn
Does seem to be where we're headed at best and where we are at worst.
Robin May Fleming@robinmay
Can someone please explain that to you-know-who?
Miller Dougan@WrdsChngeLves
In theory, yes, but realistically can you tell the president what to do and make him do it like a true boss can?
Christina K Brown@ckb1967
In reality #POTUS is still just an employee because we do get to fire whoever it is every 4 to 8 years. Kings usually have to die.
RobinAAR@RobinAAR
We don't have rulers in America. We have representatives.
RPwcshustleMLT@wcshustleMLT

True. We must move forward not backward. Racism etc belongs in past like flat earthism. #RESIST

Trump belongs in the past too but sadly all of these things, flat earthism, still exist.

Blind Lemon Merengue@BlindLemonKaet
Yes but if you are constantly telling people instead of just being King, it indicates that you are unfit to lead.

Much like: if he constantly has to point out that he won, then perhaps he knows he didn't do so fair and square? 🙄

I will not infer further but its more like a supervisor at work being like "I am the manager! You do what I say because I make a $1 more!"
Blind Lemon Merengue@BlindLemonKaet
But they aren't "the manager." A manager is someone you can talk to and who has your back against the corporate oligarchs.

You're right it's just so painful to read. It should at least be amended to honor the truth

There is no process to amend the Declaration, but we can show that we're better than those attitudes now. See #NotYourMascot for a start.

Can we? We should do it through current laws, like actually fixing the criminal justice system that's racially biased, drug laws, etc.

Craig Snyder@craigasnyderlaw
That part where you looked at a quote from the Declaration of Independence and said "this is Obama's new world order!" So the whole tweet.
Andy Dufresne@ib_AndyDufresne
Again I'm referring to the hypocrisy of NPR supporting obama and citing the declaration. I can't help the dumb!
Craig Snyder@craigasnyderlaw
Sorry to hear you can't help yourself. Good luck.
Andy Dufresne@ib_AndyDufresne
I'm referring to NPR quoting the declaration and the hypocrisy of supporting obama
Craig Snyder@craigasnyderlaw
Those ideals are entirely consistent, it's terribly unfortunate that you can't see that.
Andy Dufresne@ib_AndyDufresne
You can't support obama for 8 yrs of surrender then cite the declaration under that logo. It's beyond logic!

Hmmm... if trump gets to appoint as many #SCOTUS justices as he hopes this line may become uncomfortably relevant.
Dr. Vonswain@vonswain
there is no law stating how many judges can be on the court. if he wants to add 5 more, he can.
Craig Snyder@craigasnyderlaw
That's actually incorrect. The Constituon does not specify the number of justices.
Craig Snyder@craigasnyderlaw
The Judiciary Act of 1869, however, does specify justices.
Craig Snyder@craigasnyderlaw
FDR attempted to pass a bill expanding, but the bill failed. So it stays at nine, per that act.
Dr. Vonswain@vonswain
interesting. I did not know that. it also appears congress likes to meddle in the court affairs some. reducing #s to add for other pres.
Craig Snyder@craigasnyderlaw
Definitely, it's one of the ways Congress alone, and Congress and the Pres together, can check the judiciary branch.

By Tariq Khan 1. The Declaration of Independence is a document based on settler colonialism and genocide. If we read the Declaration of Independence in high school or college we know it to be a list of grievances by elite British-American landowners against King George of Great Britain. A key one of these grievances is…

I respect your owning this mistake, that takes strong character, I would ask that you consider what led you to this reflexive response
Christian Ross@inspectorkemp4
Are.. Are you serious? They're tweeting the Declaration of Independence. How are they calling for Revolution by reciting a document 1/2
Christian Ross@inspectorkemp4
That literally started our country? I'm all for calling out MSM when they fuck up, but this is ridiculous. NPR did nothing wrong.

Rosemary Hart@Rosemar91328525
I didn't believe this when I first heard this. Bwhaha. YOU DON'T EVEN RECOGNIZE THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
jp hall@kramerica099
Of course they did not recognize it , they never read it and got F's in history when they were 12
Rosemary Hart@Rosemar91328525
It's the best laff I have all day. And there is a bunch of these maroons. Thanks NPR. This is too good.
YouAreTooFunny@everbodyBlocksU
FYI: It's an annual tradition for NPR to do this on Independance Day. Read aloud on radio and tweet/FB the Declaration of Independence
Rosemary Hart@Rosemar91328525
Did not know that. Thanks
PolitiTrek@bosslady2898
You'd have thought it was "War of the Worlds" broadcast 😅 @JustEsrafel @NPR
Rosemary Hart@Rosemar91328525
Bwhaha. I loved the guy who said NPR should having funding pulled for threatening revolt. KING GEORGE III NOT TRUMP.

Yeah, I deserved that. I paid absolutely no attention and tweeted at the very beginning. I'm good for the bludgeoning.
Christian Ross@inspectorkemp4
Good on you for taking responsibility for a fuck up. Too many people these days won't.
D.G.Davies@JustEsrafel
Well, you guys corrected me. What better way to be schooled about this than by other Americans? I knee jerked and should have let NPR finish
Emily Butzi@EmilyButzi
Sure, but "When in the course of human events" is kind of a famous beginning. You should have recognized that, on today of all days.

The mom in me was all ready to holler for getting hackles up. I'm pleasantly surprised you owned it. Good on you, even if we disagree.

D.G.Davies@JustEsrafel
I know, I know. So this is bad15 minutes of fame but I kinda appreciated the pile on.
Chris Z@ZForce915
Oh. Well if you realize the error then it's not nearly as bad.
D.G.Davies@JustEsrafel
Well, it was a stupid error. I should have let NPR finish. Lesson learned...by the American public....
Celine@DayJardinz
It's uncool of people to take the piss. You misunderstood something, you realised, you said so. What more can anyone do? No shame in that
Cece@DervishWaking
Ignore my tweet. Wish I could find it to delete it. NPR isn't biased against Trump. They said plenty bad about Obama. He just didn't whine.
Sarshimus P@snoodmonger
good on you for owning up to it. Have a nice 4th.
Christopher Morgan@75PonceDawg
Loved the exchanges back and forth- yes we ALL make errors so let's be respectful fellow lefties/righties to those that we may challenge.
Dennis@soshoreqt
ROFLMAO! How ignorant are you?!? It's the Declaration of Independence!
D.G.Davies@JustEsrafel
Apparently very ignorant. I read the very first part and didn't realize it.
Dennis@soshoreqt
But yet you were so quick to jump that NPR was calling for a revolution.
D.G.Davies@JustEsrafel
Yes, and that was wrong. I've read so much against the Prez and NPR radio is against him. We say so much that has hidden meanings now.
Dennis@soshoreqt
It's very unfortunate that both sides feel that way against each other. We are going to end up in a civil war and it's a damn shame.
D.G.Davies@JustEsrafel
I don't want that either. But when things come to blows on the streets and the whole of media seems to feed on one becomes...programmed.
J. Walker@Utleyjacobite
Sir, it is up to us, as responsible citizens, to tell the truth from lie. And a good thing is you are willing to see your mistake. Salute.
D.G.Davies@JustEsrafel
Thanks man. I'll take more time (like I did before Twitter) to stop and think before I run my mouth. What better lesson to learn on today.
Dave@davebabler
lol I highly doubt this
Dennis@soshoreqt
Doubt what, Dave? (hey kind of neighbor!)
D.G.Davies@JustEsrafel
Dave, what better lesson to learn than at the hands of your countrymen? The DOI WAS a call for revolution. I took NPR out of context. ...
D.G.Davies@JustEsrafel
...and had a stupid moment. Never underestimate one's capacity to learn. Sometimes it's painful. But it's valuable above pride.
Eric E.@ItsMeDoublEE
Dude, I commend you. Normally I enjoy seeing stupidy on Twitter get killed but you owned it and learned from it. Good for you. Well done.

Don't hand anyone that "whole Media" line. Sinclair (largest network in US), FOX, Breitbart, Drudge, Infowars etc, etc, etc, all for Trump.

You are correct there, brooksie.

Not only that, the networks and cable station could, at the very most, be described as slightly left of center.

NPR is not "against" Trump. You should probably actually listen to NPR BEFORE YOU DECIDE YOU HATE IT
snorkleThunder@phaseric
you should maybe slow down on your defense of him and ask yourself...why would people be so upset with this guy
Shane Nokes@NorrathReaver
I hate to break this to you, but you have a skewed viewpoint. Both sides propagandize via media. Pretending otherwise is willful ignorance.
Matthew Baetzhold@Matt_Baetzhold
Would you say NPR is complicit in taking sides?
Marcia Gaines@gainesm
It isn't unpatriotic to question our leaders. If anything it is unpatriotic not to - esp when it leads to silencing dissent.
Marcia Gaines@gainesm
When we react before we listen we do our country no favors, that's for sure.
Fisheswithfeet@Fisheswithfeet
Maybe that's because the President & everything he stands for is opposed to the foundations of our nation & the ideas it was founded upon?
Cary Whitt@CaryWhitt
Bingo.

This would be a really good time 2 reconsider ur political affiliation & ideas. Trump is a traitorous liar who cares nothing for democracy!

Really? Seriously? This is the text of the Declaration of Independence-founding document of OUR NATION. Sadly, you don't recognize it.
D.G.Davies@JustEsrafel
I know. I jumped the gun. I read into into the very first part. With the call for psycho-analysis of Trump I screwed up.Stupid of me.
D.G.Davies@JustEsrafel
I was terribly stupid for this comment. I won't delete it though. I don't think most of us would recognize this if read. I learned my lesson

"Us?" You mean Trump voters? Most literate Americans (and Canadians for that matter) recognize the Declaration of Independence.
Brenda Steinmetz@brendajoanneWY
To be fair, people on both sides of the fence didn't know. Ain't it funny, everyone of them immediately thought @NPR was talking about Trump

Not everyone. My immigrant friends IMMEDIATELY knew the were reading the Declaration of Independence. #murica

I don't know 2 many citizens/"patriots" who could pass citizenship test. At least US students should b required 2 study the Constitution.

Paul Egan@PaulEga2261
Yeah, this is my beef with your admission. It's called projection and it's a faulty view of the world. Everyone doesn't have to be alike.
Odette Roulette@odetteroulette
Okay. You might want to think a bit about why it rang so true to you in terms of contemporary situations? Just a thought?
D.G.Davies@JustEsrafel
I see what you're saying, Odette. But after all the videos I've seen of Antifa and Obama's silence on BLM calling for dead cops, I reacted.
HowEyeRoll@how_eye_roll
How about all the "good cops" being silent on dead black folk?
not so young anymore@brotherbeat
Can you post one of these videos of BLM calling for dead cops that Obama was silent on. I missed that.
Odette Roulette@odetteroulette
There's very little Antifa stuff violent.What is,we all condemn. Promise. I'm more concerned w/gov getting rid of 1st amendment, u know?
Odette Roulette@odetteroulette
And I'll be honest, I don't see any reports of BLM ppl calling for dead cops. Here's what I found:
Black Lives Matter Protesters Chant for 'Dead Cops Now' in Baton Rouge
A perpetually recirculating video of BLM protesters chanting for "dead cops" dates to December 2014 and is unrelated to BLM protest events occurring in July 2016.
snopes.com
Odette Roulette@odetteroulette
And this is what I found on Obama. It seems like he was upset and condemned any attacks on law enforcement.
Obama on Dallas: 'Vicious, calculated, despicable attack on law enforcement'
President Barack Obama said Friday that the nation was "horrified" after what he called "a vicious, calculated and despicable attack on law enforcement" in Dallas.

op isn't spruiking your candidate doesn't mean they're on the other side. Real journalism doesn't take sides. That's editorialism.
Comrade Weez@weezmgk
Your knee-jerk response regarding @NPR's purported motivations speaks of a lack of knowledge of how journalism works- and is shameful.
Comrade Weez@weezmgk
I hope you learned something, not just about the Declaration of Independence but about real journalism. Fox isn't news. Breitbart isn't news
Comrade Weez@weezmgk
Those outfits are there to tell comforting falsehoods to those who will believe anything. Don't be a sucker. Be informed. Get real news.

Tensai Badger@Rahnaseeta
Only 19% of US voted for Trump. The number of ppl who did not vote for Trump was 263,494,134 ppl-only 65,844,954 of which voted for Hillary
Tensai Badger@Rahnaseeta
So frankly, Hillary's 20% of the population that voted for her isn't really anything to brag about either.
Trash Panda@Purpliser
19 is less than 20. Hows that handful of straws doing ya?
Tensai Badger@Rahnaseeta
I have no idea what you're on about. I was pointing out that winning an election w/ only 20% OR 19% support from the ppl is pretty pathetic
Tensai Badger@Rahnaseeta
60% of Americans didnt participate in the election. Clearly that says quite a bit about state of our democracy and the choices we were given
Trash Panda@Purpliser
20 is more than 19. Your editorial opinion is irrelevant.
Tensai Badger@Rahnaseeta
So? That's not how the Constitution set up the presidential election process. We vote by state. If you don't like that, change it
Tensai Badger@Rahnaseeta
The founding fathers did provide us a process to change the Constitution, you know.
Kelly ritter@KellybeansTweet
Yep. It sucks. We amend by state, too, so which overly represented state is going to vote against the electoral college with Calif.? A: None
Tensai Badger@Rahnaseeta
I think you'd be surprised. I live in a swing state-we know they don't mean a damn word they promise us. Obama lied, Bush lied, Clinton lied
Tensai Badger@Rahnaseeta
The candidates don't change anything so they can campaign on it again next time. Unfortunately for them, we're tired of being lied to

Trash Panda@Purpliser
55% of eligible voters took part in that election. Are you counting the entire population? Are you bad at thinking?
Tensai Badger@Rahnaseeta
Discounting those too young to vote all legal adults should be eligible 2 vote. Even so 45% of eligible voters didnt like the choices in '16
Tensai Badger@Rahnaseeta
You are dodging the question. We dont vote for the President by popular vote-we vote by state. If you dont like electoral college-change it

Bill Clinton didnt win the popular vote... just saying! So when the left says Trump is "illegitimate"... is Bill Clinton?

Clinton din't get over 50% of the vote. He got more than his opponents. So yeah, he won the popular vote.
Trash Panda@Purpliser
I just looked at the numbers. Bill got the highest number of votes on both his elections, 43.01% to 37.45% and 18.91% in '92 and...
Trash Panda@Purpliser
49.2%to 40.7% and 8.4%. how is that not the popular vote? Did someone forget Perot? Is being a liar the best you can do @trump_loves?
Trash Panda@Purpliser
Not responding? Sulking off in liars corner? Oh how surprising. Willfully stupid liars love doing that.

Please tell me where I used the words "illegitimate" or "Trump" in a conversation about voter numbers and catching "Tensai" lying?

You included ineligible voters in your math. Well, you're either a liar or an idiot. Or both. It's both isn't it? I don't talk to liars.

Nobody is arguing over the intent, what I am saying is our country was not official until we won the war.
RationalPoet@Brianrrs37
If America had lost to the Brits calling it the "Declaration of Independence" would be moot. It was formal letter sure, but not a law.
Christopher H Holte@CHHolte
Technically it was a resolution & while it didn't have force of law such things are legal documents.

If they meant white landowners the civil war would have been illogical. Complain about how long it takes but the theme is universal equality

They commit the most crime, vote for more government welfare, want bigger government and have the lowest average IQ. board.freedomainradio.com/topic/46089-yo…
jonny redcorn@Injunnuity
OK. But in order for a society to work there must be ppl at the bottom of the class. Removing them would have to be replaced by whites

Sounds great. Japan is 98.5% native Japanese. The people at the bottom are Japanese and so are the people at the top. It's a nice place.
jonny redcorn@Injunnuity
I believe in homogenous societies strive better but that's under socialism. America strives because of capitalism & never was unicultured

Japan is capitalist also. America was been 90% white for most of it's history, we used to have quotas on immigration to keep it white.

U.S rules because its the strongest military in the world. Would u rather have only white soldiers die or have a human shield of darkies

That fact doesn't counter my argument

3 Reasons Why We Need a More Revolutionary July 4th
By Tariq Khan 1. The Declaration of Independence is a document based on settler colonialism and genocide. If we read the Declaration of Independence in high school or college we know it to be a list of grievances by elite British-American landowners against King George of Great Britain. A key one of these grievances is…
itsgoingdown.org
katavistic@katavistic
I agree. However, we can argue and state our thoughts bc of the original document. It's still relevant & significant.
katavistic@katavistic
We've built upon it and will, hopefully, continue to do so.
BobWölfé Jung2, KSC.@bikepyrate
You do realize, the bill of rights is not in this document... correct?
katavistic@katavistic
Without the declaration, nothing would have happened. There would be no constitution. This document was the root.
BobWölfé Jung2, KSC.@bikepyrate
Also people argued politics before this... and still do in other countries as well.

And, please don't condescend to me. It's rude. And unnecessary.

Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
Well seeing as the majority don't think he's done anything by definition he hasn't done anything. Or is that not how definitions work
Gwennie@sterlingraes
Your point is mute. True point is that he is being investigated for many of these things already, so time will tell.

Willful because rather than read something suggested, you insist they regurgitate same info for you instead. You could read but declined.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
The suggested I go search through someone's Twitter, which I did do by the way, and then they don't answer my question themselves
Amy West@Facade98
Why do they have to retype something they feel covers what they agree with just to prove it is their opinion? Or elaborate for same reason?
Amy West@Facade98
Genuinely curious here
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
But in a conversation if I told you to go look it up instead of actually arguing my point you'd probably be annoyed
Amy West@Facade98
Nope, I'd look at what they suggested and only be annoyed if didn't apply to conversation. They presented info used to build their opinion.
Amy West@Facade98
You may feel like you needed more, they may not have agreed and felt that covered it
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
This a fair point.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
But the guy who suggested it blocked me instead of saying what you said so I can't go find the guy again even if I wanted to.
Amy West@Facade98
Twitter a volatile and hostile land unfortunately. Media format sucks for real inflection and intention. Easier to assume worst and block.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
Yeah that's why I never block people unless they block me.
Amy West@Facade98
Lol, how do you know who to block later? I don't spend much time on Twitter so don't block much but have been blocked myself
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
If it starts saying the tweet can't be loaded in the notification I click on there profile and it shows I've been blocked. So I do the same.

Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
Just someone trying to learn
Hope Rehak 🗽@HopeRehak
I read all your replies and seriously doubt that
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
I don't care what you think really
Hope Rehak 🗽@HopeRehak
Ditto
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
Then why did you comment?
Hope Rehak 🗽@HopeRehak
To alert everyone else who was wasting time reading the insane semantic circles you were driving others into so they didn't bother
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
Semantics matter in law.

Here you go again 🙄
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
I also only asked him to name one offense. Not reference someone who had offenses.
Amy West@Facade98
I feel you are just splitting hairs now and being defensive. You asked one, he gave a list to many he agreed with. Could copy/paste but why?
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
Well i am but it's annoying when you make a request for one example and someone tells you to look it up. I've looked it up already
Amy West@Facade98
Your choice, but your response could have been just as annoying to them.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
Well he insulted me repeatedly & then blocked me so obviously i did annoy him. But if he wants to convince anyone he should better than that
John Ed Baker@JohnEdwardBake1
Violations of the emoluments clause are considered impeachable. That's one basis for you.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
If you hadn't of came along and actually had a conversation I probably would have gone along with my day and never look into it.
Amy West@Facade98
Apologies to keep you in the convo then. Go enjoy the day instead of toxic internet! Time for fattening pie here.

You can't always get what you want. You can't always get what you want. But if you try sometimes you might find you get what you need.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
They don't
Scrody@scrody13
Obstruction of justice is the easiest one. There's precedent (3rd article of impeachment against Clinton. Nixon), and he's already confessed
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
Well then get on to proving it
Scrody@scrody13
First, I'm not a prosecuting attorney. Second, I already said he confessed.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
Let's get a quote. Cause I've looked into it and he did no such thing.
Scrody@scrody13
Fired Yates, Asked Comey to end investigation, fired Comey, asks Coats to deny probe, asks Rogers the same. Tells Lester Holt on national TV
Scrody@scrody13
"And in fact when I decided to just do it, I said to myself, I said 'you know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story"
Scrody@scrody13
But I kind of get the feeling you're not really asking the question, since this information is readily available.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
No I've seen all this information that people are presenting. But none of it is proof of anything. It's all allegations and conjecture.
Scrody@scrody13
Cool
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
But that is my opinion. That's why I go on Twitter and question other people.
Scrody@scrody13
My opinion is that one coincidence is just that. Half a dozen? And a direct quote from the man himself? Takes an awful lot to dismiss that.
Scrody@scrody13
But like I said, I'm just some guy on Twitter. I'll leave the burden of proof to the prosecutors.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
That is a valid point. Until u consider that they are coincidences about different things that are all accusations. Confirmation bias buddy.
Scrody@scrody13
Cool. Well, happy 4th.

Perhaps you wouldn't have gotten blocked had that curiosity led you to read about @SethAbramson instead of being a dismissive prick.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
True. I kinda was annoyed by his citing someone else and I let it get the best of me.
Mateo@mauimateo
Seth has some of the best explanations going out there. Search for "@SethAbramson thread" to find starting points.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
Someone linked it to me. Thanks though
Mateo@mauimateo
Just be aware that "it" is actually "them." Many threads that Trump doesn't want anyone reading. Anything with "prima facie" worth a read.

Lacey Smith@LaceySm88791881
Among Trump's many crimes, he is also a Traitor to the US & anyone that still supports him are also Traitors.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
How is he a traitor? I'm still waiting for an example. Charges are one thing. Actual cases are another
JeSuisHanAssholeSolo@revivin_ophelia
If you rely on someone else to decipher the info for you and can't articulate it yourself, I'm not going to trust your word.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
I asked for evidence. I didn't state a point of view. So there is no word of mine for you to trust anyway.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
I've looked at the evidence myself and I think there is no grounds for impeachment. But I am not perfect so I ask others for their opinion.
Eduardo C Fonseca@howimeted
Lol this guy asks for one, you give him a thread and then he ignores it. Typical Trump supporter, I can't 😂😂😂
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
I didn't vote for nore do I "support" Trump actually. Making condescending assumptions about people like that are part of why he won though.
Eduardo C Fonseca@howimeted
I made assumptions out of your tweets, if they were wrong it's because your tweets were bad.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
No u assumed based off your imperfect assumptions about the world and people. My point still stands. Nothing was bad about my tweets.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
Unless of course your one of those I'm always right and everyone else is a moron types
Eduardo C Fonseca@howimeted
Don't make assumptions now. ;)
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
I didn't. I just thew a theory out there
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
I also didn't ignore the thread. He got mad and blocked me before I could find the thread he was referring to.

You have proof of all of this? Jeeze you're a much better investigator than the FBI, why have you not contacted them about this?
Tim Wright@TimWright92
The FBI doesn't release their evidence as they find it. I'm not sure why you Trump fans think that they would.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
I'm not a trump fan. I didn't vote for him
Lauren Down South@LaurenDownSouth
Obstruction of Justice.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
When did he obstruct justice? Firing Comey isn't obstruction of justice because the investigation was neither stopped nor impeded in anyway.
Bloody Jelly 🇺🇸@jepopp
Not sure how you can prove that it didn't impede the investigation. He definitely attempted it, still a crime.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
Can you prove his intent was to impede the investigation

Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
Can you prove in a court of law that Trump was trying to impede the investigation
Lauren Down South@LaurenDownSouth
Yes, and the American people are really looking forward to it too.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
If he did do it I hope justice is served. But only if he actually did.
Lauren Down South@LaurenDownSouth
It will be through overwhelming evidence of wrong doing. And then he stands trial for RICO
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
Still waiting for one bit of evidence
Aunt Pretty@mickeydise
Watch the interview he did with Lester Holt then read the articles about his meeting with Sergeis Lavrov & Kislyak in the Oval Office.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
Already did both of those.
Aunt Pretty@mickeydise
He admitted he fired Comey because of the Russia investigation=obstruction of justice.
Lauren Down South@LaurenDownSouth
So you are unwilling to believe evidence when presented to you? Man are you in for a tough year
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
Again no hard evidence was presented. What was presented was opinion on facts that can be interpreted multiple ways.
Alicia M.@shopgirl012974
Letting the public in on the facts of an investigation before it's over isn't going to happen. We all heard what Donald said. Now we wait.
Lauren Down South@LaurenDownSouth
No, not really. Fact that Flynn was compromised and trump not only kept him on but wanted to stop investigation into him.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
You mean months after Flynn was fired
Bloody Jelly 🇺🇸@jepopp
Well, I'm not a lawyer so I don't think they'd let me. Maybe we'll have to see what Mueller and his dream team come up with.
Steve Hamkins@stevehamkins
Proof in a court of law not necessary for impeachment. Two different things. Please learn something.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
Stop being disengenous. You know the impeachment process is comparable.
Kieran Lee@kieranlee1970
That is exactly what the impeachment process would entail
Aunt Pretty@mickeydise
He said it numerous times in front of multiple witnesses. Have you been out of the country or living under a rock, perhaps?
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
I've seen all the stuff he said. He never said what your actually claiming the way your claiming it.
Lauren Down South@LaurenDownSouth
He admitted on camera that he fired Comey to stop the investigation of russian interference into our election process. We also have tweets
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
No he admitted on camera he fired Comey for not stating publicly he wasn't investigating Trump
cwcooper@cwcooper
So coercion? Comey might have yet found cause to directly investigate 45. Certainly the campaign was. The principal would get a look.
Lauren Down South@LaurenDownSouth
You understand that is as bad or worse yes? And that is not what he told the russians.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
I don't think it's as bad or worse and what he told the Russians was true
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
If he had actually admitted that on camera he would have been impeached already.
Lauren Down South@LaurenDownSouth
If our GOP congress had a spine he would have been because he did in fact admit it.
Maureen Fox@maureenfox
It's typical of a Trump supporter to argue both sides🙄
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
Not a trump supporter and you mean an objective person who has no stake in anything but the truth.
Maureen Fox@maureenfox
Lester Holt interview
Aunt Pretty@mickeydise
Trump flat out said he fired Comey to stop the Russia investigation. Just because it didn't stop the investigation doesn't mean is wasn't
Aunt Pretty@mickeydise
Obstruction of Justice.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
I don't think you know what flat out said means
Aunt Pretty@mickeydise
He said he fired Comey to relieve the pressure of the Russia investigation.But the GOP have the majority in the House so they won't initiate
Aunt Pretty@mickeydise
Impeachment proceedings. Please don't ask me any more questions. The info is out there so look for it yourself.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
I know this stuff. I'm asking questions cause I want to know why others have drawn different conclusions than me
Lauren Down South@LaurenDownSouth
Because we were paying attention when all of this started to come to light a year ago.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
So was I
Lauren Down South@LaurenDownSouth
Why do you think that 45 kept on someone who had a serious issue with his security clearance well after it was know?
cwcooper@cwcooper
When he directly asked (strongly suggested) Comey drop the Flynn investigation for which they already had substantial evidence.
lorenna cleary@bipolarlioness
Treason
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
The American people need proof. Not conjecture
Joe Green@VaPensiero2017
Money laundering. Racketeering. Accepting compensation from foreign governments. Conspiring with a foreign government to subvert our laws.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
Money laundering is a new one and so is racketeering. Proof of the compensation from foreign governments. The conspire has not been PROVEN
Joe Green@VaPensiero2017
OK, you have GOT to start doing this for yourself. Google's your friend. Check the WSJ. Last week.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
You people need to stop assuming that because I disagree with you about your conclusion that I haven't done the research cause I have.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
I'm here because I want to get different opinions. Iknow what happens when confirmation bias gets a hold of people so I seek different views
Aunt Pretty@mickeydise
Obstruction of Justice
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
Proof
Aunt Pretty@mickeydise
I already offered proof. Trump's own words. I also explained that his attempt didn't have to be successful in stopping the investigation to
Aunt Pretty@mickeydise
be an impeachable offense.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
Then why hasn't he been impeached yet? Why have news networks stopped talking about it?
Aunt Pretty@mickeydise
Asked and answered. But I'll say it again: It's because Republicans control the house and they won't initiate impeachment proceedings. That
Aunt Pretty@mickeydise
doesn't mean he hasn't committed any impeachable offenses. If Dems win back the house in the midterms, impeachment should be at the top of
Aunt Pretty@mickeydise
their to do list.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
You posted something saying that something is impeachable if a majority of Congress think it is. But a majority of Congress don't think it
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
Is impeachable so by definition it isn't an impeachable offense.
Tim Wright@TimWright92
Uh, no, that's not how that works. It's a legally impeachable offense and remains so even if Congress doesn't feel like enforcing the law.
Jen Smith@mamabearsmitty
Really? Because house and senate always put country before party, right? 🙄 people have answered your request, ten fold.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
I don't care about your assumed narrative about their reasoning. You can't prove that most of Congress actually thinks its impeachable.
Jen Smith@mamabearsmitty
You asked for "just one" offense. Several listed. You want "hard evidence". Given. Now you say it's not impeachable unless congress...
Jen Smith@mamabearsmitty
Says so? You lost this battle, time to respectfully concede.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
Not really
Babbi Dilbeck@babbi_dilbeck
they may think it but will not act upon it-contrary to goal
Babbi Dilbeck@babbi_dilbeck
because impeachment is the duty of the legislative body=GOP
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
If the criteria to be impeachable is a majority of the elected Congress has to think it's impeachable and a majority don't............. well
Aunt Pretty@mickeydise
No I didn't. That was someone else. And by the way, Thanks for the definition of proof...a condescending millennial, how refreshing.
Katharine Phipps@lebaron13
We are waiting for EVIDENCE so that the impeachment (indictment) can go forward. Can't wait.

Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
No. I just like a lot of people have a different opinion
Susan. B Bitchin@s_bitchin
You don't need proof for impeachment. Impeaching is the trial to prove the wrong doing, that where they find and present the proof.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
That's not how any of this works. Nobody will start the impeachment process to find proof cause if none materializes its political suicide.
Myles.K.D.J@JuS1aWeSoMeGuY
You start the impeachment process to proove without reasonable doubt that your evidence is fact
Kieran Lee@kieranlee1970
Obstruction of justice
Kieran Lee@kieranlee1970
The point is moot anyway because GOP aren't going to impeach him even if he calls Fox and says "I fired Comey to impede investigation"

Its something a guardian ad litem in US might do- stand up to speak 4 the child and the child's best interests when the child cannot speak
Sam Mosby@startrekfan58
Not following...who is standing up for the child's rights? The court or the parents?
D. Smith@ceilidh_2855
At times the courts will appoint a guardian ad litem who serves only the interests of the court in proceedings that may involve others.
D. Smith@ceilidh_2855
The others can include parents. Sometimes they r appointed when there are no parents. Or if there is a case when parent's interests may

conflict with the child's interests - or may be separate. So in case like this there is hosp/parents. Court cld appoint guardian ad litem so

Yes. This normally done during divorce proceedings. I find it hard to believe this would be done when parents want to try and save their
D. Smith@ceilidh_2855
This is a rare/unique situation. The child is suffering. The parents r suffering. The question is whether the parents r able to act solely
D. Smith@ceilidh_2855
in the child's interests given their suffering & the impact on them. Clearly has been questioned. R they acting for their needs or child's?
Sam Mosby@startrekfan58
How do know that the child is suffering? Also if the parents have the means to move the child in an attempt to maybe save their child allow
Sam Mosby@startrekfan58
Child. It seems to me that the court is protecting socialized medicine and does not have the best interest of the parents or child
D. Smith@ceilidh_2855
That I don't know. I do know that hosp as well as the dr in the US that they want 2 bring child 2 has said child will die & cannot b helped.

I don't know the motivations of people. I hope I'm wrong to me let the parents try. It's very simple.

Ideals = perfection. Perfection is a high goal. Strive to make progress.
Mike McGee - Writer@MMcGeeWriter
They were the people who put into place the mechanizations to make those kind of changes. Respect that. They didn't invent conquest.
Boo Radley@BooRadleyHere
Respect the blood they spilled & destruction they wrought while creating those "mechanizations". Patriotism & love must be honest to be real
Mike McGee - Writer@MMcGeeWriter
Yes, because that's how the 1700s rolled if you were established (Europe) or radical (the U.S.). They didn't live in our context.
Boo Radley@BooRadleyHere
But that's how we roll now. We live in our context, bearing history of 1700s on our backs. Why hide in shame behind empty platitudes?
Boo Radley@BooRadleyHere
If we were truly proud, we'd be honest about our legacy & vigilant to be better. Instead, we have fake MAGA platitudes that gave us Trump.
Mike McGee - Writer@MMcGeeWriter
Putting that line on Twitter, as written, is pretty honest, be it Trump, Obama or Jo-Jo the Dog-Faced Boy (who would've ALWAYS had my vote)
Mike McGee - Writer@MMcGeeWriter
Because history & the world is bigger than us & we fall in a double trap of 1) not empathizing with the folks of the time we're discussing -
Mike McGee - Writer@MMcGeeWriter
And 2) We do what they did: "We live in this time, we will put that as a priority, & do our things our way." The very thing you're against.
Boo Radley@BooRadleyHere
I don't know what this means. What is it you think that I am against?
Mike McGee - Writer@MMcGeeWriter
Apparently, every philosophical concept I type.
Boo Radley@BooRadleyHere
I'm more having trouble with your writing style/my reading style/Twitter limitations. No worries! 🇺🇸
Boo Radley@BooRadleyHere
not empathizing with/excluding/denying history of Americans still suffering those effects while repeating mistakes is working out how well?
Mike McGee - Writer@MMcGeeWriter
What's being denied? Lack of empathy w/ the time & place the founding fathers were in; in fact rebelled against it & made a new system.
Boo Radley@BooRadleyHere
A system built on worse oppression than they were "fleeing". America is the ultimate contradiction, always has been. Freedom is Slavery.
Mike McGee - Writer@MMcGeeWriter
Natives kept slaves as well, pre & post European influx. They'd even grab a freed slave. When I say we're all terrible, I mean ALL of us.
Boo Radley@BooRadleyHere
Exactly my point! America is NO better or worse than any other country but we refuse to even discuss our flaws & pretend we are exceptional
Melvin Bagby@MelvinBagby
The point of the United States is the attempt to form a more perfect union. For myself, I'm not blind to the flaws, but I believe the ideal.
Melvin Bagby@MelvinBagby
Freedom isn't slavery, but freedom isn't free.
Boo Radley@BooRadleyHere
That is real patriotism. Real raw honesty about what a paradox we are & will continue to be if we don't acknowledge/deal w/ our past.
Mike McGee - Writer@MMcGeeWriter
We are. "Native savages" is still in the Declaration of Independence, lot Liquid Paper or anything.
Melvin Bagby@MelvinBagby
Fair point. But no one ever said it was perfect. Just trying to be.
Boo Radley@BooRadleyHere
mention anything unpleasant about UsA or say "America is terrible too" & response: It was a dif time! Others did it too! Unpatriotic! USA!
Mike McGee - Writer@MMcGeeWriter
Because that's reality. There was a time globally when conquest was a totes legit way to nation build. Totes. Legit.
Boo Radley@BooRadleyHere
So it was normal-nothing at all exceptional/diff about Founding Fathers. They were just like every other conqueror,dif is they lied about it
Mike McGee - Writer@MMcGeeWriter
Like every other conqueror. *Except* they authored a document that allowed us via representatives to peacefully alter our own path.
Boo Radley@BooRadleyHere
That they borrowed from the Iroquois Cofederacy and completely didn't even try to follow or live by, while still lying. Such heroes
Mike McGee - Writer@MMcGeeWriter
Iroquois Confederacy must be Latin for Magna Carta or Englis Common Law. A doc allowing us to redefine our own laws & gov't? That's amazing.
Boo Radley@BooRadleyHere
Founding Fathers revered for "freedom! exceptionalism! Shining beacon blah blah" While they were no different, worse actually, than others.
Mike McGee - Writer@MMcGeeWriter
The Catholics Henry 8 were boiling or Jews having their synagogues plundered to raise a Tory army would disagree - if they had that right.
Boo Radley@BooRadleyHere
Black Americans might have a bit to contribute to that conversation as well.
Mike McGee - Writer@MMcGeeWriter
They do. &like everyone they have a range of opinions.
Mike McGee - Writer@MMcGeeWriter
What we all generally agreed to is: slavery/segregation bad, so we amended the Constitution. We needed no king to decree it nor tribal elder
Mike McGee - Writer@MMcGeeWriter
That's a powerful doc, even if the debate took years & lives. Citizens charting their own course. Their own definition of 'citizen'. Amazing
Boo Radley@BooRadleyHere
Which I was expressing instead of blindly shouting "MURRICA!!" out of "respect" for mechanizations or whatever.
Gayle loves history@gaylenorton
You are failing to put the Founding into historical context.

D. Smith@ceilidh_2855
Of course it was. PPL r flawed. It is our flaws that propel us forward. However - the trajectory is now ours - our hands/choice.

Thank you, NPR. Gratefully, this was a damn good 1776 American-exit. Looking forward to more progress... soon.

See? This is why we need to increase funding for education.
Michael@tsalaroth
He's kinda right if he ignores the 1980s, when all the racist southerners moved to the GOP.
Sarcastic Assassin@SarcasticAssass
1960s, actually.
Liz@bluebayou2888
Yes, 60s -- Dixiecrats moved to GOP over Civil Rights. Strom Thurmond most famous.

I think it might be cheaper just to have them all do a year at school in Moscow.

They'd probably learn more US history there.

Thomas Jefferson started the DemocratIC Party.
Insolent_Villager@Insolent_Villag
the modern-day Democratic Party was founded around 1828 by Andrew Jackson
karystus@karystus
and the Present-Day Democratic Party was founded by Karl Marx.

You're a fascist propaganda regurgitating moronic parrot.

Do Liberals take classes in name calling instead of civics and english?
Shannon@BEmom
Hmmm isnt that Dumpsters FAVORITE President???? Ohhhhh the irony
Shannon@BEmom
And to be correct the Democratic Party was created by Thomas Jefferson Andrew Jckson and several other politicians
Insolent_Villager@Insolent_Villag
Who were conservatives that now are called Republicans. Learn what the Southern Strategy was.
TDP Official@the_dna_project
Yep. This is what happens when morons are given a microphone
Carol Monahan@robespierrette
Get the name right: Democratic Party, or The Democrats. Using a noun as an adjective (and parroting Rush Limbaugh) makes you sound ignorant.

this lousy teeshirt@a_logical_poet
Pretty big error for @NPRKelly to say that this states that "all people" are equal when it says "all men". That's literally what they meant.
Tensai Badger@Rahnaseeta
And you also made an error yourself. They didn't actually mean "all men" - they meant white landowning men.

Yesssssss! SCORE!
Big K@urmudder
That doesn't mean we can't take the idea and make it a "more perfect union." Even this was a revolutionary idea for that time.
this lousy teeshirt@a_logical_poet
Everything in context, yes. Point is, that particular history lives on only in written words & we best be careful not to add our own to them
Big K@urmudder
True, but their idea of self government was pretty impressive and ballsy, no?
Big K@urmudder
I often wonder what they would think today.
Got Covfefe?@OmoiNeko
"Why did we write this if no one reads it?"
Big K@urmudder
Let's say I wonder if they'd have been the same if they were raised in today's society.
Mike McGee - Writer@MMcGeeWriter
That's what the found fathers put into place. Disagree with their policies? Here's a nonviolent statement to make change down the line.
Mike McGee - Writer@MMcGeeWriter
The Constitution, Bill of Rights, et al, were amazing documents that were forward-thinking into the future. But worded in a specific era.
this lousy teeshirt@a_logical_poet
My opinion of founding fathers aside, my issue is @NPR changing words to imply meaning that was never there. It's careless and dangerous.
this lousy teeshirt@a_logical_poet
It was written in an era in which women were not considered equal to men, the document doesn't say they are equal & we can't rewrite history
Big K@urmudder
Did NPR change wording? It looked pretty verbatim to me. Hey, I'm a woman, also, and I get what you're saying but I'm just glad they...
Big K@urmudder
...stood up to the thinking of the day. It gave us all a footin the door to demand changes.
this lousy teeshirt@a_logical_poet
In the first minute or so of the audio she says it, before they start reading it word for word.
