      Our founders combed through 5000 years of ‘successful’ governments, and sought inspiration from God. They wanted to prove that man needs no Eartly master, and gave man the ability to keep tyrants at bay. They were unique in history.

    Our nation was conquered long ago, but you are asleep to the reality.

    Benjamin Franklin was a US President? I never knew!

    • Ben says:

      Godor,

      It doesn’t say US president. You assumed that in error.

      Benjamin Franklin served three terms as president of Pennsylvania, before the office of governor was established after 1789.

      Live and learn sir.

  7. Godor, are you a liberal? You seem very good at deflecting, and ignoring the core.
