A scene of a bunch of low-class rednecks trying to hold on to their guns and religion.

Huh?
What?
Teresa, I understand and agree that this is what some candidates would like the people to think. In all of my years I have never seen worse candidates running for President.

Even that painting is fiction. All those people were never in the same place at the same time for the painting. Totally put together, but a nice representation of the events, none the less.
So, is this painting the "only half of what you see" part of what to believe.
??? how do we know all these people were not together at the same time? But I do get the point Teresa is trying to make. At least I think I do. That the right to own guns and the right to worship in your own way is nothing new???
Isn't this supposed to be the first continental congress that met in 1774? ::)
It is tongue in cheek.
Except that the rednecks now days that some people and a couple of the candidates assume gun owners to be.. are still fighting and trying to hold on to our rights and constitutional amendments.
Lol, Teresa. Good one, least I'm in good company when people tell me I'm a redneck!
So put on a hat! :laugh: :laugh:
Diane, Teresa, what is that picture and who painted it? Archeobabe is burning up my computer, trying to find it.
which hat you want ? My stetson or my red flamed dodge ball cap?
Wilma, the painting is "The Signing of the Constitution" by Howard Chandler Christy 1940.
Thank you, Diane. We could tell it was something like that but we didn't know for sure.
Pam, you need your stetson to protect your neck. and Flo I never did answer your earlier question. According to old dated ledgers and notes that were kept, delegates came and went quite often. They signed papers when they were in town and often had to go back home for instruction, or wait for couriers to bring information. Even the paintings don't show everyone who took part at some point. For the most part, these men also had businesses and farms to run, so many were not in Philly all the time,
lol, bein called a redneck doesnt really bother me. Guess I got a better idea of what it means than they do :) I'll just be the redneck over here with my garden and my guns and trucks and independance intact :) and no chips on my horses :P LOL
We missed you Pam! ;D ;D ;D
why thank you ;) missed conversin with you all myself lol
