....like John Locke's influence of the 'progressives' of the day....broke away from the church/state tyranny?....made people sovereign, instead of the church/ state(Second Reich) and was rather revolutionary in concept....and while people tried to escape from the church/state's bondage, they found a place, across the sea, where they could get away from the elitist control freaks, to do and live the way they wanted...without the fucknut state/church/government fucking with them, and keeping them poor with heavy taxation, the feudal system, and control of the money.....YEAH!!..let's get the hell away from those jerk-offs.....and they came here.....and they wrote those rules to insure that shit wouldn't happen again...fought a couple of wars, too...and the got together and wrote the new rules...an extremely progressive and ballsy concept.....it was to be the rule of the land.
But first, they had to serve notice to everything that controlled them from their old countries....and called it a Declaration of Independence.....and then drew up the Constitution...COMPLETELY RADICAL.....but even then, there were those who saw ways to make profits, and hustle unsuspecting people and companies..and to do that, they looked for ways to control the money....just like what they fled from...but to pull it off, the hustlers had to get around the new rules....and buy politicians to look the other way, and to even get the public convinced that it would be in their best interest, to give up their money and freedom...and entrust it into the hands of the hustlers...."Now if only we could get around those damn rules!!"
There were even hustlers who promoted their con game, by convincing people to believe that THEIR group are the ones who believed in those radically progressive rules.....but alas, they also sold the people a bad bill of goods, just to fleece them, and conned them into getting the people, to allow them to do their thinking for them....while of course, fleecing them too....

As I posted previously....today's Liberals are tomorrow's Conservatives........just ask anyone who wants to hold on to those earlier radically progressive rules!
