::(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)

:::::Maybe the words came out backwards but that is not definitive proof she's an idiot and unqualified to be president. Not anymore than Barack Obama's belief there's an Austrian language or U.S. troops liberated Auschwitz. It is proof, however, of meanspirited hateful people (if not sexist and bigotted) fearful of a mother and housewife. I don't know what else to tell ya.
