Does one of you ever read anything? You have this ridiculous picture of what it means to be strong. Can anything help you? It is odious knowing that people like you are in the majority. Why do you constantly belittle them? We threw off greedy and noisome merchants who dared add 1/2 percent protection money - they threw off royalty. Who made the greater stride?
I might remind you that the French went through all of militaristic Europe like shit through a goose, and basically taught everyone from then on how to fight - that the help of Lafayette was utterly crucial for the Americans to get past square one - as well as the fleet off the coast - and that with that same help, we'd have a governed Conferderacy now (as opposed to an ungoverened one)? Ah, the French are so irrelevant.
