HAPPY JULY 8TH to the WORLD!!!!!!! (Patriotism Day)
Yes, July 8th, when Pokahantus woke the patriot fathers up, after thier long not so cold water binge, and warned them, that in her oppinon, they better get their colective asses together and prepair for the war of 1812, which she knew was comming because White folks don't forget anything exect how they lost the last war, and where they left their cars on Monday morning. Cars had not yet been invented, or Monday mornings, but... well there was work to be done. And work they did!
They arrested Pokahantus and then drafted the Alien and Sedition Acts so they could charge her under that... and then invented Patriotism and hence, July 8th - Patriotism Day.
On Patriotism day, you arrest the loud mouth you disagree with and invent a law to put them away under... (Today the Justice Dept. is celibrating at the trial of Lynne Stewart)How do you decide who IS a loud mouth? Well that is the person who lets facts get in the way of popular oppinion.
Other great moments of Partriot Day have been forgotten, for example, after the British DID return in 1812, the nation forgot Pokahantus and instead created July 7th Day dedicated to John Smith.
Happy Patriot Day
