Those are Minutemen!

[Speelgoedmannetje]

What are Minutemen?

[blobrana]

Hum,
Minutemen were the rebel scum in the colonial uprising of America, their existence was conceived in Massachusetts during the mid-17th century.
(probably so called as they could group together in 30 minutes - and starts with the letter M like `Minnesota` `Militia`)

But theY could also be atomic missiles (in silos) cunningly disguised as the Vietcong..


[where are those transmissions coming from!] :-)

The W is for Walker as in george W Bush, but the picture on the label tries to imply that it stands for Washington.

Quote from the Washington biography on whitehouse.gov

"To his disappointment, two parties were developing by the end of his first term. Wearied of politics, feeling old, he retired at the end of his second. In his Farewell Address, he urged his countrymen to forswear excessive party spirit and geographical distinctions."

Oh, insurgents. I thought they were just Ba'athist remnants.

The minutemen were also responsible for the massacre of many of their fellow Americans who supported the British and for acts of terrorism upon British and Loyalist forces. Yes, a bit like the ones currently making life hard for the Americans in Iraq. History repeats itself, and only idiots, ignorants and conservatives allow it to.

Of course two parties formed while Washington was president. Washington was accused of being a puppet for a man who felt only "certain" people should participate in government, to be determined by their family tree. The "common man should not participate in government."

If someone said that in your country, you don't think a party would form to oppose it?

It was this exact scandal that made Thomas Jefferson resign, after calling Washington a puppet.

UK History have been running a series of documentaries about the War of Independence for weeks. It's immediately clear that the usual dogma of "Oppressed Americans fighting the tyranny of the evil British" is a total myth; actually the war was more like a civil war between Loyalists and Rebels, started by wealthy landowners who didn't want to pay tax or give up slavery, and the average poor American's life didn't change much either way. Well, unless you were black (or native), in which case the Americans winning was a disaster.

Hum,
you forgot to mention the sticky fingers of the French were stirring it up in there too...

I also found it interesting how attitudes/politics were formed then, on how they treated the Native American people, that still persists today...


To check out the alternative reality.
