Anonymous Coward User ID: 13853004 Canada 11/20/2013 11:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The issue is NOT the use of paper money or not... The issue is WHO issues the paper money, and the commodity it is backed by. Paper money issued by treacherous malignant psychopaths backed by nothing. Or, paper money issued by patriots who have the interests of their fellow citizens in mind, and backed by a credible commodity. When the colonies united to fight for their freedom, congress issued Continental dollars (redeemable in silver and gold) to pay for the war. Unfortunately, the U.S. had no gold or silver and promised to pay later. The value of the currency deprecated since many knew that it was unlikely that they would ever be able to redeem the obligation. And England printed large amounts of counterfeit Continentals to devalue the currency. [link to bp0.blogger.com] “That is simple. In the Colonies, we issue our own paper money. It is called ‘Colonial Scrip.’ We issue it in proper proportion to make the goods and pass easily from the producers to the consumers. In this manner, creating ourselves our own paper money, we control its purchasing power and we have no interest to pay to no one.” - Benjamin Franklin |

The fled corrupt government. Not a small tax as you put it like a passive aggressive women on her period. As of late, our government is just as bad if not worse than it was in those days. We've allowed jewish zionists to usurp our government and banking system. It is time to do something again. Problem is 90% of the American population are soft belly slacker retards. So there will have to be a total collapse and starvation before any of the drooling imbeciles wake up and do something. Keep in mind that the native americans that were here were savages. They were NOTHING like what is depicted in the movies. Just like tribal Africans they lived like animals, killing indiscriminately and shitting where they ate. So don't glorify them as if they were mighty spiritual sages. That is a preposterous joke. Nobody can be blamed for expansion, evolution, and advancement. That is the way, not living like an animal in the woods forever. Remember that the goal is to evolve as rapidly as possible, to advance technology as quickly as possible while perfecting our spirit, then colonizing space. Living like an animal in the woods fforever is worth NOTHING. As far as white men have civilized the world we are still in our infancy. There are acceptable growing pains. |

The question is: how would the world be today if they had won and there was no Canada & that all of North America was one giant USA?! |

Burn your lying hollywood movies and nwo history books. The truth is the American Revolution happened because the mericans didnt want to pay a small tax on tea. They wanted to steal all the indians land, whereas the British wanted them to leave areas for the indians. The americans wanted to keep slavery, whereas the British removed slavery. They despised the great nation Britan, which planted them, and fought on the wrong side of the war. Quoting: Stations of the Sun The British were the far superior moral nation, and america would have done the right thing to stay with them like Canada did. When I think of Brits I always think of rotten teeth. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13853004 The Colonies would have suffered a little tax on tea and such items... Were it not for the British refusal to allow an honest, debt free money system. The British/Jew Psychopaths wanted THEIR debt ridden money used, such that the Colonists would finance the British military. British Elitist Vermin ended up having their last remaining tooth knocked out by American Patriots. Not their last remaining teeth, they got a new set. After Cornwallis was defeated at Yorktown, the British sent him to India where he led the successful conquest. Yep, same general. |

Actually Britain wasn't ruled by the central bankers until about 40 years after the American Revolution. I do get America's grievances because for the most part they were taxing Americans without giving them any form of representation. But they weren't asking for any major concessions at the time, in fact they were only asking America to pay for a portion of the costs of keeping the troops their to protect their territory. Of course we must patriotically stand up to defend our nation no matter how stupid it actually is to do so. |

Quoting: M1.618 That is true, however British expansion into the West was partly motivated that if they don't expand into places like Alberta quickly then the Americans will. So the British decided to fuck being nice to the Natives; we're taking that land so we don't have to give up half of our claim on North America. |
