"He united the states of America" JOHN ADAMS starting Sunday on HBO

[bucfish]

Nice and perfect timing and of all things Tom Hanks could he be a closet Paulite?

He donated $4600 to Obama...I checked it out too. I was a Dem and would have voted Obama if I hadn't had researched RP last May. Common thing...I think we are evolved Dems! lol now Constitutional Republicans. Go Ron Paul

Just to clear up some confusion, Federalsist were for the Constitution. We'd all be original Federalists.

and the movie looks great.

I'm reading a biography of Alexander Hamilton right now. It's quite new to me, I had no idea of the powerlessness of the National Government under the Articles of the Confederation. I'm at the part now when the Continental Army is in near open revolt against the Congress because they haven't been paid in years and the Congress has no ability to raise money to pay them.

I think it's pretty safe to say without the Constitutional Convention and the literal coup against the Articles of the Confederation that the several States would have broken apart and gone their separate ways.

I'll be reading many more biographies soon, John Adams of course and the new one on Daniel Boone looks good too.

I wonder what future historians will write about Ron Paul?

Thats me right there....

I voted for Paul and will not vote for anyone else now ever again unless Andrew Napolitano ran.

Just watched it. Pretty good. I took notes for some random reason.

 

[robmpreston]

Pretty incredible so far. HBO has really raised the bar for miniseries over the last decade.

 

[Melissa]

I thought it was great too

You baffle me-- in a good way! Even if my teachers said "take notes!!!" I reluctantly did so...


I have not watched it. I will watch it when it's out on DVD or something. Don't have the channel or the time right now. I can't wait though!!!

 

[TruthAtLast]

I just saw it and thought it was great. Too bad it doesn't air on National TV with a High Tide commercial break.

 

[bcreps85]

Watched it, it was good.

 

[Fields]

Just watched part 1. Very good in my opinion.

 

[mrchubbs]

Watched both parts. I was mesmerized. I actually teared up a few times thinking about what these great men and women sacrificed for our freedom today.

I just wish we weren't throwing it away.

yeah I had the same reaction it was weird i felt like I wasn't doing enough or something like that, like why can't we take control of ourselves as our founders did
