“I am glad you happen to be on the Spot to say what ought to be said respecting the pretended Loyalists. Setting them in their true Light must be of great Service. The World had never seen a more universally loyal People than the Americans who were forc’d by the mad Measures of the Ministry to take up Arms in Defence of their Rights. They did it with Reluctance. They were truly Loyalists. Very few if any of these Pretenders had any such Principle, or any Principle but that of taking care of themselves by securing Safety with a Chance of Emolument and Plunder. They fancied the King’s Side would prove the strongest. Could they have foreseen our Success, the would never have oppos’d us, nor would England have been dunn’d with their Claims of Recompense for their Loyalty!”—Benjamin Franklin

Long Live the Revolution!

Can I shit on it? Or send a reasonable facsimilie?

This murderous, princess-killer, equity-stealing, pig
is no more a queen than Leticia McEvil of the Borgia of
Italy.
