Hey, thanks! Glad to know we helped. Good luck on your project.

MOst of the things in Vidals novel was of course made up -- the conversations. The factual things are correct, but Vidal is a hoot, and made up virtually everything else. Still, Vidal is brilliant, and his Burr, Lincoln, and 1876 were the real start of my love for history.

there are no facts of history. History is full of events. Events are always interpreted from one's perspective which cannot be divorced from ones values.

[MikeSears100]

Aaron Burr would have been the Greatest President in this nation's history.

@LowBid86 thomas jefferson was a snake, even if one chooses not to believe the evidence regarding sally hemings, jefferson was totally untrustworthy and a show pony---think of gumby, but stoned. and yet he has the best reputation for his ability to propagate; go figure.

Aaron Burr

- was the greatest traitor of the USA,

- was a spy of the British Empire

The British Empire (by means of the oligarchical monetary system) is now finishing its job in destroying the USA. The British Empire will rule over the USA (once government defaults, JPMorgan will rule over the USA) if the Americans don't wake up.

Aaron Burr was a gentleman, it was his downfall when dealing with the likes of the treacherous Jefferson and the unsavoury Hamillton.

@jetsetjoey There are so many holes in the official story and so many ways to prove that 9/11 was an inside job that its mindboggling to me we still even have to discuss this! And whats worst of all is that no one has gone to jail,been prosecuted,or lost their job.It just proves how absolutely corrupt America is and what a farce our justice department is. Yeah,rob a store,or dont pay a traffic ticket,and you go to jail,but be involved in a false flag event that kills 3000? Hey,we'll cover for ya

@mrbrianmccarthy

You forgot or neglected to mention W.T.C. Blg #7... which provides UNEQUIVOCAL PROOF that 9/11 was an "inside Job" (l.e., False Flag op.). Hell, even the bastard, who took out the record insurance policy just weeks prior, flippin` admitted, in a live interview, that "they gave the order to go ahead & pull it."!!!

[mrbrianmccarthy]

@tomthefunky Nope,wrong again. I think 9/11 was the greatest tragedy to ever befall this country.You and I just disagree on WHO caused this event to take place.You probably believe the official story,and I do not.The reason I dont is because its assinine. BOTH of the Twin Towers fell in the EXACT same manner,AND they fell at free fall speeds.9/11 was a false flag attack.Go look up that term "False flag"---you might learn something.

[tomthefunky]

@mrbrianmccarthy: C'mon, Brian, you think we deserved 9/11, don't you? Admit it. 

[Julianrpe]

thanks so much for the post.

[mrbrianmccarthy]

@tomthefunky Bush"didnt cause 9/11".Its a little more complex than that moron.Look up the term "False Flag" and get educated about how governments actually work before you start spouting your mouth off!You sound like a typical redneck idiot to me,a guy who thinks he has all the answers and is completely uninformed.As for Vidal being "soft on Child porn" or "an anti semite", how do you know that??If you're going to make accusations lke that,then you should back them up with facts turdball.
