Loyalists vs. Patriots

First Blog Post

How could those patriots make a move for all out independence from Britain?! Not only is it foolish for our established economy and political system, they are putting our entire country in jeopardy! They finally made the provisions for a declaration to announce their claims for independence. Also, word is that Thomas Jefferson even wrote the draft while accepting revisions by Ben Franklin and the like. This WILL NOT turn out good..

They do not realize how much danger they are putting us in. And I only couple my name in the same sentence as them because I live in this now God forsaken country. When the French and Indians were attacking us, who was there to defend the colonists? That's right. The British.

It is unbelievable how ungrateful they are. Even more, they are rebellious and commit crimes against their own government. How dare they call the Crown unlawful when they destroy the private property of Royal Officials! And all of this because of some measly taxes! What's more, the people over in Britain pay MORE than we do over here.

This declaration of independence is more than just an attempt for justice. No, it must be some sort of crazy power trip between those Sons of Liberty and our faithful King. And aside from a power trip, it must be a plea for death, because when the British come for us now, we are going to be mutilated.

It would have been wise to keep things as they were. To remain as loyal to the British as they were to us...

But those ignorant fools made their choice! Now everything is going to be completely horrible for those rebels. They will most definitely reap what they sow. If not by the almighty British, then definitely by the Almighty God.
