Snakes
Aired 7/28/06 Snakes
It may take quite a chain of logic to get from Judicial Activism to a reference to Snakes on a Plane but I like a challenge.
Perhaps some of the most-spun people in history are our founding fathers. Everybody seems to have an idea about what they would say about this or that and inevitably it is the same thing that they are saying themselves.
Personally I think that they understood a lot more about some of our current issues than we often given them credit for. They knew what it was like to be ruled by a tyrant. They were. They knew what it was like to have a military police authority that could do what they want and answer to nobody. They were called Redcoats. They knew what it was like to be told what prayers you had to pray and what church you had to belong to if you didn't want to be a second-class citizen. A great many had come here just to get away from that.
