::(Edit conflict) User:Lj485's comment is rude but true. It would be well to bear up under abusive language that bears a message worth hearing, imho. Clearly the "[[Big Government]] bullying" is not an accurate portrayal of the event. The complaints against the British crown enumerated in the Declaration of Independence do indeed constitute a kind of bullying by a big government, but the term and context are anachronistic while the analogy is inexact. I am unhappily surprised at the hostility displayed to newcomers by those I assume to be established editors. [[User:Cristiana55|Cristiana55]] 22:44, 7 June 2011 (EDT)

:::Are youi addressing User:Lj485's trolling or the substance of this article? The cites & sources I just reviewed say Palin articulated Revere's ride accurately. Granted, the idiom "big government" is non-contemporaneous or not in vogue parlance of that era, but CP s an educational resource for the youth of today and that language or narrative is quite effective. I don't see why it cannot be used without giving credit to Palin for her clarification of the facts in this instance. [[User:RobSmith|Rob Smith]] 22:58, 7 June 2011 (EDT)

::::I was saying that despite his nastiness, User:Lj485 offered worthwhile criticism on the substance of the article as it stood at the time. It was not trustworthy information.
::::I appreciate your civility with me, but since you believe Palin clarified the facts and I think she muddied them, we'd best not continue the conversation. (What I think is that she made a mistake and then, grasping onto technicalities, refused to admit it. Btw, I live in Alaska and voted for her for governor. Her parents have eaten at my table because of a fishing connection with my husband. Imo she was a good governor until she quit to become a celebrity. She does not seem equipped to govern on the national level, but could do some good in her present role.) [[User:Cristiana55|Cristiana55]] 23:26, 7 June 2011 (EDT)
