Delution of Dependence

Here’s the thing professor Roosevelt: while what you say is certainly thought-provoking Abraham Lincoln was no idealist determined to do the right thing. he was a very pragmatic politician, who only pursued ideals when they aligned with his political goals.

Declaration was the charter and constitution the bylaws. Why continue to reference the constitution and apply law to it when it's not subject to it. Their authority doesn't come from consent but from force, and they protect no rights but take them away. I recommend stop letting other people tell you what the truth is

I LOVE how Prof. Ken starts slowly and cliche-edly, reciting all these platitudes and retelling the "standard story" to lure in all the salivating "Libertarian" bros. Then BAM!!

The right of revolution was in the french constitution as well.

[@paulschultz1218]

The French Revolution came AFTER the American Revolution.

World hates Kermit Roosevelt but America...

I think he has inherited his family’s prestige. With that said: those are the sins of the father and should not be placed on him.

Imagine saying words like freedom and democracy with no sense of irony while your name is Kermit Roosevelt.

[@rustomkanishka]

You know there is no justice in this world when a man named Kermit Roosevelt talks about freedom and democracy with zero sense of irony.

[@williamcary8029]

His logic is as twisted as his glasses.

[@rustomkanishka]

His morals can't be twisted worse than his father's.

[@baderinwa1]

He is the great great grandson of President Theodore Roosevelt.

[@baderinwa1]

Things often seem twisted when you don’t understand.
