Three Versions of History. Pick the one you like best. Be happy with it.

1: America was born when religious-freedom-hungry Pilgrims disembarked the Mayflower in 1620.
2: America was born when a group of rich white guys who didn’t want to pay taxes threw a shipload of tea into Boston Harbor 153 years later, in 1773.
3: America was born 3 years after that when our Declaration of Independence officially announced America’s separation from England.

If you chose version 1, you prefer FOX News.
If you chose version 2, you don’t prefer FOX News.
If you chose version 3, you try to avoid discussions of politics and religion.

Heh, heh, heh.

“If there has been any law that has been consistently operative in American history, it is that the members of any established people or group or community sooner or later become “redskins” ? that is, they become the designated victims of an utterly ruthless, officially sanctioned and subsidized exploitation. …Today, the most numerous heirs of the farmers of Lexington and Concord are the little groups scattered all over the country whose names begin with “Save”; Save Our Land, Save the Valley, Save Our Mountains, Save Our Streams, Save Our Farmland. As so often before, these are designated victims — people without official sanction, often without official friends, who are struggling to preserve their places, their values, and their lives as they know them and prefer to live them against the agencies of their own government which are using their own tax moneys against them.”

- Wendell Berry, Unsettling America, (1977)
