Liberals like our founders...

Also, it is mostly liberals who advocate for Islamic interests and black militants in this nation which really does aspire to impose their religious and racial views on everyone.
Yes, liberals like John Adams, American patriot extraordinaire:
"The part I took in defense of captain Preston and the soldiers, procured me anxiety, and obloquy enough. It was, however, one of the most gallant, generous, manly and disinterested actions of my whole life, and one of the best pieces of service I ever rendered my country. Judgment of death against those soldiers would have been as foul a stain upon this country as the executions of the Quakers or witches, anciently.
These were English soldiers who shot down five unarmed colonials who were throwing stones and snowballs: kinda like an intifada. It was also before we had a Constitution requiring the protection of minorities (whether political or religious--we had to wait a fair long time for the racial and gender protections).
Would you vote for that Constitution today, Buz?
Captain Preston and six of his men were acquitted. Two were convicted of manslaughter and branded on their thumbs.

Have you ever been to an American wedding? Where's the vodka? Where's the marinated herring?!
