Sarah Palin was right about Paul Revere's Ride!

Paul Revere's Account of His Midnight Ride to Lexington

1775

I, PAUL REVERE, of Boston, in the colony of the Massachusetts Bay ....

Just as I reached it, out started six officers, seized my bridle, put their pistols to my breast, ordered me to dismount, which I did. One of them, who appeared to have the command there, and much of a gentleman, asked me where I came from; I told him. He asked what time I left . I told him, he seemed surprised, said ''Sir, may I crave your name?'' I answered ''My name is Revere. ''What'' said he, ''Paul Revere''? I answered ''Yes.'' The others abused much; but he told me not to be afraid, no one should hurt me. I told him they would miss their aim. He said they should not, they were only waiting for some deserters they expected down the road. I told him I knew better, I knew what they were after; that I had alarmed the country all the way up, that their boats were caught aground, and I should have 500 men there soon. One of them said they had 1500 coming; he seemed surprised and rode off into the road, and informed them who took me, they came down immediately on a full gallop. One of them (whom I since learned was Major Mitchel of the 5th Reg.) clapped his pistol to my head, and said he was going to ask me some questions, and if I did not tell the truth, he would blow my brains out. I told him I esteemed myself a man of truth, that he had stopped me on the highway, and made me a prisoner, I knew not by what right; I would tell him the truth; I was not afraid. He then asked me the same questions that the other did, and many more, but was more particular; I gave him much the same answers. He then ordered me to mount my horse, they first searched me for pistols. When I was mounted, the Major took the reins out of my hand, and said ''By G---d Sir, you are not to ride with reins I assure you''; and gave them to an officer on my right, to lead me. He then ordered 4 men out of the bushes, and to mount their horses; they were country men which they had stopped who were going home; then ordered us to march. He said to me, ''We are now going towards your friends, and if you attempt to run, or we are insulted, we will blow your brains out.'' When we had got into the road they formed a circle, and ordered the prisoners in the center, and to lead me in the front. We rode towards Lexington at a quick pace; they very often insulted me calling me rebel, etc., etc. After we had got about a mile, I was given to the sergeant to lead, he was ordered to take out his pistol, (he rode with a hanger,) and if I ran, to execute the major's sentence.

It goes on...

I thought I would never see anyone dumber than her. Of course you support her you think everyone is a fool and dump like you and Sarah? America stands for freedom for all. freedom of idiots and morons to hold Office and have idiots supports like yourself.

@hanktom33 You stupid little cunt... I include the exact text of Paul Revere's deposition in the info-box under the video and you still can't get your facts historically straight. You are EXACTLY what the liberals want... stupid zombie robots that believe what the little box with fancy moving pictures tells them.... READ A FUCKING BOOK YOU SIMPERING TWAT!

[hanktom33]

warn the British!!!!! is this country full of idiots and moron. here it goes. Paul first ride was to be a Secret. A secert a freeking a freaking Secret to warn the colonist after leaving Lexington he was captured by the British and after they put a gun on his head he admit admit admit freaking admit that he warned of their coming. Paul was trying to Sam Adams and John, The Freaking Colonist you Moron.

[PatriotsRepublic]

@hanktom33 And the indoctrination and stupidification of our youth is complete. People like you think that the Longfellow poem is the ACTUAL historical account of Paul Revere's ride... well you ignorant prat... it was not! It wasn't even close to being historically accurate. I read from the deposition of Paul Revere which are his OWN WORDS!!! In his own words, he tells the committee that he did indeed warn the British soldiers that the colonists were ready for them. Learn history or STFU!

All the Dyke Liberals in here are just mad because someone as beautiful as Palin would never lower themselves by becoming some sodomite muff diver.

[cooks1234]

palin and many of here supporters actually are dumb im not just saying that to insult or anything but cause there is evidence of it.here on youtube alone there is the >Sarah Palin Supporter Ignorance Caught On Tape!< video and the interview with beck where she couldnt name any founding father aside from washington which beck already named.i mean just searching palin lies or dumb shows many videos proving it.

[tattoorichie100]

[olbermannhater]

What she was trying to say is that liberals are assholes.
