When shit is hitting the fan...

When you track down the source(s) - it's always Republican in nature. Always hoping some of their fiction sticks against a wall so they can point to this or that new/bad/trend which the Democrats can be blamed for. Here's a GQP adherent - trying out some new material - he claims he was only supporting those angry patriots on January 6, 2021 with his fist bump photo - although many of us saw him dashing off as fast as he could run with his tattered dignity trailing only his shadow.

On the Fourth of July, Sen. Josh Hawley tweeted a quote he attributed to Patrick Henry. The quote argues that America "was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians."

But it didn't come from Henry — it comes from a segregationist newspaper in Virginia in 1956.

It's from the GQP playbook. Make shit up, then claim it as fact or 'spin' it as a new trend to stomp out before it can do more damage to our culture and society.

I don't know. But the colony of Georgia was founded as a buffer colony to protect Britain's valuable Carolina colonies from the Spanish in Florida. And the Brits decided to let families and all, wasting away as slave laborers in British debtor prisons get out and sail to Georgia to settle the colony.

At first slavery was illegal in the colony of Georgia until it was decided slave labor would be more profitable, helping traders and wholesalers in Britain and a few big new landowner colonists get rich.

I don't know of anything Christian or even religious being a reason for Georgia being created. And as for independence from Britain, it was for local control of economics and to keep British soldiers from stealing and occupying people's homes. Nothing about Christianity or any religion. There was a lot of Tories here until the Americans won. It was very 50-50 pro-crown and pro-independence. Then the Tories packed up and sailed off. I'm pretty sure the pro-indepence folks would've killed off the Tories if they stuck around. A lot of un-Christian and inhumane things happened during the Revolution. There was a lot of blood revenge to be dished out.

When the shit starts hitting the fan...the prosecution of all of the fake electors from all those 'swing states' is going to be remembered as the scheme which doomed the Jan 6th conspirators.

The fake electors scheme was 'a straightforward crime'.

One branch of my family tree came North (Canada as we know it didn't exist yet) as Loyalists after originally settling in New England. The English-speaking colonies up here, especially Upper Canada (modern Ontario, where I live) benefitted heavily from people who left because of the Revolution.

I sure hope those traitorous fake electors will finally see prison time.
