Paul Revere A Despicable Tattletale, Says GOP
"Republicans today criticized Paul Revere for his famous ride, saying that he had violated professional colonial ethics by divulging military secrets in violation of his duty to his lord, the King of England.

"These were sensitive informations about military troop movements with which he had been entrusted," said G. Gordon Liddy, an expert on ethics in government and a professor at several unaccredited law schools.

"Paul Revere was a traitor and a law breaker," said Anakin Skywalker in a confidential interview shortly before his limbs were lopped off and he burst into flame.

Conservatives all over America pointed out that Revere also endangered people's lives by riding willy nilly all over Massachusetts at a full gallop in the dark of night. "He could have trampled someone," said Bill O'Reilly. "Paul Revere was a reckless and irresponsible nazi," he added.

"Pat Buchanan derided Revere as a "coward" and a "snake" who was unwilling to be direct with the British government regarding his complaints about the monarchy. "There were channels," he said.

"Peggy Noonan shook her head. "There's nothing sadder than Americans who have no respect for the rule of law," she said."

When Republicans reveal themselves as the Tories they really are.

3. Do not tell any one. These people were liberals.
You have to wonder what they were up to. I think they all had St George flag pins on their vests also. It was to fool the people into thinking they were for God and King when we really know what they wanted to bring the country down along with the King.

5. Well he was actually tried for cowardice
during the Revolution. He was acquitted, but he never fully cleared his reputation.

6. You have to understand that the BFEE are Loyalists.
This group of corporate pirates would have fully supported the British Crown and oppressive taxes - as long as they were in charge of collecting the taxes, and running the colonies.

Liddy an expert on ethics? BAWHAHAHAHAHAHA! :rofl:
