A Higher Percentage of Americans Believed in King George During the Revolutionary War than Believe in Congress Today
Influential Harvard and Stanford law professor Lawrence Lessig noted in a must-watch speech last week that polls show that only 11% of the American people have confidence in Congress.
He notes that more people believed in King George at the time of the Revolutionary War than believe in congress today.
He's right.
Historians have estimated that between 15 and 20% of the white population of the colonies were Loyalists
Watch:
Why do so few Americans today believe in our government? Because the government is serving the giant corporations and the ultra-wealthy, and not Main Street and the common American. And see this.

Actually I had no intention of making a comment that evening...until I seen him muck rake me.
Da boy called me out...I guess he didn't have the heart after all. He's been trolling me for a couple months junking...as if it makes a difference.
He'll be back, under another guise...he's a fucking psycho, but that ID is toast ;-)
Sorry, nmewn, you weren't talking to me.
It's saaaw right...nobody loses their heads over it like elsewhere in the world ;-)
Pardon? I don't junk anyone. May have responded to 1 of your comments before, maybe. WTF are you smoking and can I please have some?

My quoting one of the many POTUS Satans irritates your palate for actual knowledge and truth?
Best learn that...

Only someone who knows his history can find this so fast and paste it as first.
It proves he knows his history very, very well and for that I respect him and so should you.
The item that cracks me up completely in the pantheon of propaganda that is "the United States"; is the universal belief that President Lincoln freed slaves. He freed zero slaves. zero; total number. His intention, ship them back to Africa. His famous speech, political propaganda to make it difficult for Great Britain or France to support the Confederacy, all this is factual and can be researched. They start lying to you in the third grade and it just goes on forever. No one reads, no one studies, so anything is possible.
"But, without propaganda, we'd have nothing"; response of my girlfriend to my educating her to the above simple facts of history, and others, which contradict the "night is day", "black is white" stories we are taught in conventional history classes.
Agreud. One thing you can definitely say about DP is that he keeps it interesting.
Respect the alternate perspective.
An as he notes below, even cretins can say (or be accredited with) something of value, though that doesn't mean you necessarily excuse their actions; ol' Hickory 'Sharp Knife' springs to mind.
