Paine was one of the few honest men among that gang of bandits (‘Founding Fathers’).
William of Normandy was a literal bastard, but the FFs deserve the epithet, for killing people to maintain slavery, which the British government was moving to abolish (as Gerald Horne points out in his 2014 book, “The Counter-Revolution of 1776”) - in part because of American economic competition.
(I say that even though the first American wounded in the war - on Lexington Green, 19 April 1775 - was an Estabrook: Prince Estabrook was a slave who belonged to the family - there’s a plaque to him on the Green. But I’m glad to say that half the family were Loyalists who went to Nova Scotia; descended from the reprehensible part of the family, I still have distant Canadian cousins, after ten generations.) —CGE

>> Sorry I cannot be there tomorrow for the program. It is my first day of classes and I am teaching a maximum course load this semester, including International Human Rights Law. But I would greatly appreciate it if someone could announce our Rally against this Trump/Sessions Legal Henchman here at this Shithole College of Law on January 24 from 3-4pm. You will notice that in our press release I deliberately included that the Trump/Sessions Department of Injustice are currently arguing "For War." Right now there is a lawsuit pending in Federal Court by a US Soldier not wanting to deploy to the Middle East because these wars were never authorized by Congress and are thus unconstitutional. It will be making its way to the Supreme Court. This Trump/Sessions Henchman and his Department and Office are arguing and will be arguing in favor of perpetual warfare around the world. Thanks.

>> Law Dean Amar is bringing in this Top Trump/Sessions Legal Henchman to propagandize Their Party Line. For the past year, he and his Department have been arguing the Trump/Sessions Cases in the US Supreme Court and Lower Federal Courts and will continue to do so for Trump/Sessions: The Muslim Travel Ban; Against Dreamers; Against Sanctuary Cities; Against Migrants; Against Blacks; Against LGBTs; Against Labor;For War; etc. Every reprehensible policy and practice that Trump adopts will make its way to the US Supreme Court and Stewart and his Office will argue in favor of Trump/Sessions and against the American People. Right now, Trump has a solid right-wing majority on the Supreme Court with his Man Gorsuch.

Our continued militarization, and war on people around the world in order to occupy and steal their resources.

Which is why “opposing any and all U.S. intervention no matter what “ as you say, should always be our main focus.
