Bullshit #1- The Founding Finaglers got a minority of traitors to fight
against their home country and their own loyal countrymen so that they,
not the the Brits could divert the wealth of of the colonies into their
own pockets.
> We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny.
Bullshit #2- The Shays rebellion was a rebellion against the revolutionary
oligarchy. Common soldiers mounted attacks on the Continental Congress in
Philadelphia forcing " our heroes " to flee across the river to Princeton N.J.
These rebellions FORCED our glorious Founding Finaglers to concede to the
common soldiers ( as misrepresented by the ghost in this silly poem )a Bill
of Rights.
The defeat of Shays' rebellion marked the end of the possibility of democratic
rights for all. Even those who fought the British. There were MANY such small
rebellions before and AFTER the revolution. By 1760 there had been 18 rebellions
aimed at overthrowing COLONIAL GOVERNMENTS. The rich oligarchs introduced
property qualifications to disenfranchise the poor, and secure privilege for
themselves politically. In other words, they passed laws that said only the rich
could vote.
The new Americans fought for their democratic and economic rights against the
very men who wrote the constitution. The wealthy ruling elites of their
time. George Washington was the richest man in the colonies. The Bill Gates
of his day. The land stealing, slave holding, merchant, oligarchs.

Bullshit #3- Who can take this silly drivel seriously? The country was
filled with slaves, indentured servants, dispossessed aboriginals, and
half the white population had no say what so ever because they wore tits.

Depends where.

Good. I'm not particularly interested in your values and I don't
want YOUR values taught to MY children.

Regulated by corporate interests.

You got that right.

Ooooooh scary.

You got that right. They were stolen by corporate control of vertical
pricing Squeezing out all but the largest producers.

Well, we agree here. Keep the troops at home. There's no honor in

I'll bet the genius who wrote this marvelous poetry knows some nifty
Limericks.

There are no god given rights. The torch is currently in Australia.

Bullshit #4- We have the super Rich to blame because there isn't
enough money in the national economy for them to steal when compared
to going international and taking the ALL they can from everywhere in
the whole wide world.
> For even now as tyrants, trample each God-Given Right.
There are no god given rights.
> We only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight.
Speak for yourself " patriot " hypocrite. Where were you heroes when
they took on the traitor elites in Seattle? Where were the brave militias
when we took on those that would enslave us at the World Bank and the IMF
in Washington DC. We went up against ALL the federal police and secret services
without guns. Where were you? Must have been a good stock car race on TV eh?
You people are so full of shit. You just want to play with your warm guns
and blow up children in Oklahoma. Oh yes, and recite these maudlin, syrupy,
sentimental ditties as if they really mean something.

Evidently not if you belong to the " patriotic " right who just want
to piss and moan and play with their toys that go boom.
Stop your pathetic bullshit and let's see you do something real and
effective. Get with all the others who stand up to the New World Order.
Get with the Anarchists, and the unions, and the students, and with
the oppressed people in other lands who are fighting for their survival.
So far you guys have done nothing worthy of respect. Nothing!
