So they keep showing the videos of the right wing shrieking "1776!"

Do you suppose any of them have any clue that the revolution did not begin on 7/4/1776 but on April 19, 1775 at Lexington and Concord with, what we were taught was the "shot heard 'round the world"?

One would expect these patriots to know American history.
