    The pilgrims came here for the freedom to be intolerable, intolerant religious nutjobs. The founding fathers kicked off the revolution so they could be financially independent from Britain and keep the wealth for themselves. The Nazis got their ideas from American bigotry and we didn’t care to stop them until they bombed us.

    This country has always been about “freedom for us to do what we want to you” and nothing else.
