<blockquote class="Quote"><div><strong class="bc-author">willie_fugal</strong> said:</div><div>i stopped reading after seeing that his initial promise was already mistaken:<br /> <br /> <blockquote>Cause we fucking founded this country, assholes. Those Founding Fathers you keep going on and on about? All that bullshit about what you think they meant by the Second Amendment giving you the right to keep your assault weapons in the glove compartment because you didn't bother to read the first half of the fucking sentence? Who do you think those wig-wearing lacy-shirt sporting revolutionaries were? They were fucking blue-staters, dickhead. Boston? Philadelphia? New York? Hello? Think there might be a reason all the fucking monuments are up here in our backyard?</div></blockquote> <br /> half of the primary document writers (Madison, Jefferson, Washington anyone?) were from Virginia.</blockquote> <br /> No.<br /> <br /> " On June 11, 1776, Congress appointed a "Committee of Five", consisting of John Adams of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, Robert R. Livingston of New York, and Roger Sherman of Connecticut, to draft a declaration."<br /> <br /> "Twelve of the thirteen states sent delegates to the Constitutional Convention to revise the Articles of Confederation and the entire convention worked on it. After the political questions were hashed out a 'committee of style' was formed to put the ideas into formal words. It is generally accepted that Gouverneur Morris created most of the actual wording included in the final draft from the Committee of Style."<br /> <br /> And yeah, this is wiki shit, but it's accurate.<br /> <br /> Washington wasn't involved in the writing of either document as far as I can recall.
