Who Can Name the Most Founding Fathers? Ready? Set? Go.
- Bryan just starts dropping names left and right.
- Was Abraham Lincoln an imperialist, he wants to know? No way.
- George Washington? Yeah right…
- How about Henry Clay? Not an imperialist bone in his body.
- Patrick Henry? Of course he was.
- Bryan lets everyone know he was J/K on that last one.
- Bryan keeps bringing up these famous Americans as a way to patriot-shame the Republican Party.
- He wants everyone to believe that by arguing for the annexation of the Philippines, the Republicans are acting totally un-American.
- Here's the basic point that he's trying to get across:
- Remember how much we Americans hated the British—so much that we started a revolution against them? Well, the Republicans are acting totally worse than the British. If we could have a revolution against them, we really should.
