Alexander Hamilton was a Tea-Bagger

[ieoeja]

7. Ronald Reagan called himself a "new Federalist".

And by new federalist he meant anti-federalist. But people bought it.

I was going to say the "uneducated" bought it. However, I learned about federalists vs anti-federalist in elementary school. You didn't exactly need some "liberal, elitist" education to know that Reagan was newspeaking out his ass.

To any lurker who happens to see this, read that again. It was taught in elementary schools! Jeesh.

Sorry. Where was I? Ah, yes, the GOP has been reversing the meaning of federalist ever since. Divide up Iraq into loosely knitted states? "Federalist," they called it. Poor, Mr Hamilton has been completely rewritten.

Of course, he was a fucking thief. So I guess it couldn't have happened to a nicer man. Lord Baltimore's ownership to Maryland was vacated as a result of the American Revolution. Since technically people were not buying land, but rather buying the rights to use land that was owned by Lord Baltimore - not that many land buyers knew this - Hamilton and his cronies reasoned that the American Revolution vacated all claims to land ownership in Maryland and began filing claims on the land themselves. Hamilton himself stole my family's property in that manner.

Fucking Normans.
