AMC is literally just playing Independence Day on repeat at this point.
What a time to be alive.
“Washington on America and Immigration:
“a Country which may afford an asylum (if we are wise enough to pursue the paths which lead to virtue & patriotism) to the oppressed and needy of the Earth.”—From George Washington to Lucretia Wilhelmina van Winter, 30 March 1785
Ah, back in the days when we understood that a government that opposed free trade, free migration, small and limited government, and the natural rights of all people was a government that needed to be abolished.
Immigration law is unconstitutional. Open borders is the only constructional, legal, rational, ethical, prosperous, and practical option.
The only argument against open border is racism.

And Washington would be the first person to say he didn’t understand economics.
Washington also was bled when he was sick. I guess you view modern medicine as un-American if you think we should not admit advances in science occur over time.

It is not an apartheid state.
Hamas is classified as a terrorist organization by the United States!
Hamas actively puts Palestinian’s in harms way by putting their rocket and missile launchers in civilian areas.
Hamas wants homosexuality to be punishable by imprisonment, if not death.
Hamas has shot THOUSANDS of rockets at Israel over the past year, almost all at civilian targets.
Israel regularly treats wounded and ill Palestinians in Israeli hospitals, gay Palestinians FLEE to Israel to get equal protection under the law. Israel is the ONLY country in the Middle East to have a comparable system of government which advocates individual freedoms and equality for women and homosexuals, Muslims, Jews, and Christians.
You are a moron.
desimonalisa replied to your post: I was wondering what you thought of the new…
My question wasn’t really about the game, it was more about the idea that the game’s new downloadable content was about George Washington becoming an evil tyrant and that the revolutionary war was fought for his benefit.
See, I don’t know anything about the game or the downloadable content.
That seems pretty far-fetched and stupid to me though
So back in the 1780′s when our country was still figuring crap out and ol’ George Washington was just elected president, G.W. decided to send a letter to Congress along the lines of ‘Looking forward to working with you all, this will be exciting!” Congress, not wanting to slight the president and also trying to express their own enthusiasm, sent back a letter along the lines of “Glad you’re excited, we are also looking forward to working with you!”
Then George sends another letter back saying something like “Cool cool bros, glad you’re just as excited as I am,” and Congress, again not wanting to be awkward or just ignore the PRESIDENT, sent back ANOTHER letter saying some dumb crap that was probably along the lines of “Glad you’re excited that we’re excited that you’re excited.”
Democracy at its finest.
And while this in itself is funny, that is not even the best part.
George Washington, while being powerful, was not extremely eloquent, and at this point was also aging, busy, and overall very stressed about his new position (which he did not want in the first place). So he asked his old friend James Madison, who had a much better way with words, to write the first note to Congress. Good old James Madison, wanting to oblige his friend, did just that and composed the note to Congress. Now, J-Mads was himself a member of Congress, so when the note arrived, he was in session to hear “Washington’s” letter read.
Congress got nervous and worried about who could possibly compose a formal and acceptable letter back to Washington. Who better than his old friend, James Madison? So Jimmy, being obliging, wrote the response. When Washington received the reply, he once again asked his friend to write the response.
And who did Congress choose to write their final letter? That’s right….none other than Jimmy-James-Madison himself.
So James Madison, future 4th president of the United States, wrote himself 4 letters under the guise of George Washington and the first Congress of the U.S. And he was too embarrassed to admit it.
