Enough About " Liberty " and American Ideals...

I realise that this particular blog could cause a reaction that will insight suggestions to me of a litany of all the
things America has done for us ( win ww2 for Canada, etc. ).

For all of the revolutionary, democratic, zeal that the American government might suggest are their origins,
history tells us a different story. The power behind the American Revolution were
American merchants who were angry because the crown got in the way, through taxation, of the money they wanted to make in the new world. Hence the Boston Tea party and their funding of the revolutionary (it's our money not yours ) army.
It is truly an economic revolution of the money aristocracy of America against the royal aristocracy of crazy King George.
At that time, as well as today, political messages were given to common folk to set up a false rationale about why the revolution needed to take place. ( Oppression by the King, loss of basic freedoms, the British Yoke , etc. ) Wait, does this tact sound familiar ? How about... Terrorism is based in Iraq, therefore the American Military must enter therein. The real reason ?
Haliburton, Oil, American military suppliers, Dick Cheney. He is no better or worse than the original " patriots" He is simply looking for the freedom to make a buck as he pleases... the inalienable right ? Freedom...hmmm. Great Britain outlaws slavery 100 years before the United States. The Alamo was a last stand by wealthy slave owners against an abolitionist state: Mexico.Yet these are the Heroes of America. No Sweat about the money thing , just be honest about what you are and where it all came from.
