The characterization of what we call the Revolutionary War as a “restoration” instead of a revolution is well worth at least pondering. I have characterized it as a war of independence instead of a revolution, as opposed to the French Revolution.

Bravo! Your knowledge of history gives you a big edge! I wonder how many have read and know the details of the impetus for the Magna Carta

I hope we don't have a revolution. Restoring our Republic is the necessary battle. Not the destruction of it and a restart of history. That's what Mao did and the French Revolutionaries did. We already cast aside our monarchy without murdering them. Ours is a more rational and humane history.

From their Inception, both Countries threw off their Totalitarian Governments. Another problem we shared then and now is the Cabal. This insidious incestual bordello of phonecians sunk their teeth into the throats of all mankind and won’t let go! But we can resist and elect God’s Mercy! May God Bless America and all His Children accross the World

Dr. G hit the nail on the head!

Interesting brief but, yeah, it was indeed a revolution. A war of independence that restored long lost values. It's a fine discussion but not one whit of it changes all that led up to, occurred during, and resulted from an 8-year Revolutionary War.

Well said, on "restoration."

The mother country itself killed more monarchs than European counterparts, yet still has a king.

France in contrast traded a king and an "emperor" for a succession of "republics."

America remains well served by its true Republic, and now is about to be restored in moral quality.

Is John's comment correct, Dr. Gorka?

FALSE. The Great Terror only came LATER in the course of the Revolution.

As for the American Revolution, or if you prefer, the American War for Indpendence, it was a fight between the Scottish Rite (the Founding Fathers) and the Yorkshire Rite (the British Crown).

Don't try and prettify it, please.

The impetus of the Magna Carta is not diminished by such events. It marks a significant change (even if diluted by subsequent event). That was my point
