Proud Past Patriotic Prognostications

The idea that we're going to win Independence from Mother England is an idea which is just plain wrong- Loyalist Jedediah Dean, June 1781, a few months before the British surrender at Yorktown.

The idea that we're going to win this war and preserve the Union is an idea which is just plain wrong - Democrat Alexander Dean Howard, August 1864, a few weeks before the fall of Atlanta.

The idea that we're going to win the war in Europe while simultaneously emerging victorious over Imperial Japan is an idea which is just plain wrong- Professor Andree Dean Brush, September 1944.

Yes, there will be some recrimination, but far, far less than the 200,000 a year who are murdered by the United States of America- Doctor Brush Dean, April 1971, prior to American withdrawal from Southeast Asia and subsequent Communist massacres of millions. ********

******** I kid, I kid-the last quotation is actually from the April 1971 Senate testimony of your favorite treasonous former presidential candidate and mine, Massachussetts Senator John Kerry.
