I Am A REAL American

Male: 1800. Notice the
sweeping cloth. A sign of
imperialist elitism. Also,
he is sitting. A real pig.
Male: 1760. Simple.
Regal. Holding his
gentile breast.
In 1787, what we know today as the "Constitution" was adopted. On that fateful day, what was a grass-roots movement of freedom was codified into a rigid, semi-monarchialist, imperialist system of oppression. Before, men lived only ruled by the plain meaning of their common charter. In 1787, that common spirit alive with possibility was politically sabotaged by a collusion of power, greed, and class elitism.

Why do I say this? I am writing because I am a REAL American. Not like these fakes today. I am a pre-1787 American. Some call us "colonialists". Others say "tea baggers". I think the tea party is for wimps. It celebrates, not vilifies, 1787. It gets it all wrong.

1865, we tried to start over. We also tried in 1963. 1963 - 1865 = 98. 1865 - 1787 = 78. Those two numbers are really close. Need more proof? In 1998, the United States Embassy was bombed. In 1978, the Sydney Hotel was bombed. Sydney is a symbol of British imperial greatness. I can think of one other country like that. Hint: it started in 1787. Coincidence? I think not.

Does this story sound familiar?

There was the real church. They died or barely survived in a small percentage of primitivists who held on to the "pure word" of God. (Side note: the Bible was found by the first Christians in a glacier, frozen solid, apparently placed there by an angel) Then on some date, the Church colluded with the empire--an empire that is no longer in existence--and now you get Roman (da-da-da) Catholicism. Shriek! Somehow Roman Catholicism stills exists today--despite Darth Vader not being a real person, and the "real church", where are they? Not sure. I think they might be cryogenically frozen.
Is this Hans Solo or the first Christians?
Mysteries unsolved.
