So you are saying it's Ok to berate people who say that it's not ok to welcome other cultures that want to subdue what made America great in the first place with the type of culture that they were trying to escape from in the first place?Okeefenokee wrote:Sure. Now let's spend ten pages arguing over what that is.The Conservative wrote:Amusing, but the question still stands... should we tolerate what this country was founded on?Okeefenokee wrote:
that's a fairy tale, dude.
Roanoke and Jamestown were created to make money.
Then the Puritans got kicked out of England for starting trouble, and came to America, where they promptly got to work starting more trouble.
The first colonies were dudes and a few dudettes in severely austere environments, trying to make some money.
Seems like a good place to start a foundation.
First, you must work.
Right... ok...

It didn't fail, but it was a really rocky start. Like, reported Donner Pass level first winters. The first few resupply convoys brought like a collective total of four girls and a lot of unskilled people (not general unspecified jack of all trade types, literally 'boys' without any practical ability). Then they got smart and brought people you might need for a city, like actually talented farmers, blacksmiths, etc.Okeefenokee wrote:Jamestown didn't completely fail.

On the ancestry game, I'll match the Mayflower compact signatory and Quakers, and raise to another family on the Mayflower, and a governor of the Republic of Texas so awesome he didn't even have to be at San Jacinto to get credit for it.

I'd have to ask the grandfather for the specifics; after he retired from the Army he spent much time researching everything he could think of. Also, there was a private Richard Henry Lee in the Revolution that he confounded for a while with the more well known person by that name.
