The Founders didn't risk the gallows because they hated America. They risked everything because they loved it enough to confront tyranny. Patriotism isn't pretending everything is fine. It's defending the republic when it isn't. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

open.substack.comThe Test They Left UsThe Founders told the world what tyranny looks like. Before we honor them tomorrow, we must hold their list up to America today.

Yes, that is why I’m choosing to celebrate our nation peacefully in my home this year… I will not let them take away the 250 years that have been put into making America what it was before they entered the system… We will rise again!✌️🤠🇺🇸

Come on, man. The founders started a new country because they were pissed that other rich, White, British aristocrats wanted a cut of the action. They espoused unalienable rights but only meant land-holding White men. This country was built by rich white men for rich white men.

Not exactly, they loved the immense amount of wealth that they knew they could earn and didn't want to send that to someone else as exorbitant taxes. We are founded on capitalism. Liberty was just an excuse to make war.

Adam, on this day on July 3, 1778 at the battle of Wyoming, my ancestor Richard Inman who is one of the few survivors of what was called the massacre survived his three other brothers did not. ..The Iroquois were merciless and relentless - their deaths gave rise for Patriots battle cry

The British had swept down from the north, survivors panicked & either went south along the Susquehanna or over towards the direction of New York, many of them Connecticut & Rhode Island Yankees. Times have changed ; how people try to live well & find their happiness too. We know the sacrifices..

Also; the Founders were Liberals and Progressives. The Conservatives wanted reconciliation with England. It has always been liberals and progressives that have dragged this country forward.

That's more like it Adam ...as not only a fellow "TAC/SAC-TK" and USAF(Blue From The Sky)Vet&Patriot like you, i'm just estatic that you like myself are calling/summoning for "All Hands On The FlightLine&FrontLine" because "DEMOCRACY, is not a spectator's...Sport"!

You don't have to read far into the US Declaration of Independence to see that it says, "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government..." Dissolve the (U)SA. Form the American Union.

Please tell me a Republican today that would have done what the Founding Fathers did? None, they are all pieces of shit!

Founders like Robert Morris, the wealthiest person in the colonies, John Hancock, second wealthiest, Geo Washington, heir to a huge Mt Vernon estate. The American Revolution was fought by hated wealthy elites who found foreign wealthy elites for Americans to hate more. History repeats.

Moral reality MUST progress to keep up with the pace of technology. We want to eat corpses and pretend we aren't torturing animals and polluting the Earth. We want to enjoy unlimited garbage and dump it on someone else's continent. We want to buy yachts, pretending floods aren't our fault.

nah they just wanted to be the one imposing tyranny otherwise they'd've, youknow, ended slavery, enfranchised women, stopped with the native genocide.... acknowledging that doesnt change the possibilities of this nation at all

Some “tyranny.” Many US colonists who were loyalist went north to Canada, a famously tyrannical nation even to this day. Alternative analysis from the British view: Americans didn’t like paying taxes to support the national defense; esp ironic since Washington started the French & Indian war

Please stand with USAF Major Jason Watson, Honorable Patriot, Defender of the U.S. Constitution, Hero youtu.be/tCu6YDiJVs8 If you support Major Jason Watson, please make your support visible and call the US Congress and tell your Reps to act (202) 224-3121 and replace your profile pic with this one

This is a child's understanding of history. It what they teach in 5th grade. They didn't do it out of patriotism. Many were loyal British subjects. They did it mostly for economic reasons. Let's be clear eyed here. Patriotism came later and that was mostly a form of manipulation.

The fact is that the core Founders were Freemasons, and that large parts of our Constitution are taken verbatim from the Freemasons' Book of Constitutions. They were the political 'free thinkers' of the day and set up the U.S. to favor their own. Not necessarily based on high principles or morals.

It 's a real shame to see how few Republicans followed in your step as America is being attacked by a sick mind. We should never forget how they gave up on the principals of the country they swore to protect.

DO NOT LET THE USURPER and his minions CONFLATE EXUBERANT CELEBRATION with PERSONAL VALIDATION Celebrating in reverent silent protest is as Patriotic as anyone can possibly be at 250. This stain runs wide, but not deep... Ozymandias

The ability to self critique as a nation is how you learn from the good and the bad. People burying their heads in the sand and pretending all is well will be the death of the republic, or at least the decaying.

This is sort of the inverse of something I realized a few days ago about MAGA: they simultaneously suppress and embrace this country's worst qualities. It's vice signaling, but they also don't want anyone thinking we've ever been anything but perfect. bsky.app/profile/last...

This just hit me: The Trump regime is celebrating and encouraging the nation to embrace all the worst aspects of our nation's history and legacy, while simultaneously suppressing any acknowledgement of them.

And then you were gaslit into believing that you're the most important country ever in the world, and were arrogant as fuck when other countries tried to warn the USA that the dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed. Maybe now you can find some humility as a nation.

Exactly! The right likes to gaslight us by saying we are not patriotic or that we hate America if we criticize Trump and the actions of this administration. They also like to tell us to leave if we don’t like it. Nothing is further from the truth. We love it and we’re trying to save it.

Look, all the kind or unkind bullshit we spew on social media every single day accomplishes precisely zero. The ONLY thing that will save America is to drag that mentally ill, and clearly dangerous freak, the hell out of the Whitehouse today.

To paraphrase Teddy Roosevelt, patriotism isn't about supporting the president. It's about supporting your country even when that means fighting against the president. MAGA would probably say that's what they do during Democratic administrations, but it's still true.

Many of them were slave owners and had no inclination at all to give that up. They kept human beings enslaved. That's tyranny and it was seen as wrong by many in the colonies already back then. I don't want to spoil the moment, but they wanted themselves to be free of the British, not to free all.

Meanwhile, Americans can't be bothered to go out to a protest because it's inconvenient - and can't be bothered to vote because they don't think State and Local offices are important.
