I have often wondered what would have happened if our leaders of today were alive when this nation of ours was born.Would things have been different? Let’s take a look, shall we?
Senator Larry Craig, would not be a Senator from Idaho, of course…
Perhaps a ranking member in the Continental Congress, from, let’s say…Virginia.
During a break in the voting on the Declaration of Independence, Delegate Craig would follow fellow Virginian and declaration signer, Francis Lightfoot Lee to the Congressional outhouse.
Upon entering and seeing Lightfoot Lee pissing, Craig would say, “Oooo Francis, may I drop trowel as well and play as though we are lonely swashbucklers upon the sea, with thee?”
That action would lead to Craig (and his signature) being replaced by Carter Braxton.
However, Craig would later serve on the first Supreme Court, setting a precedent that there must be one gay man on the Court. A tradition alive and well today in the form of Justice Antonin Scalia.
Now John McCain…We all know that he was alive back then, as evidenced by this picture of him and Ben Franklin.
The only difference with Johnny Mac is that back then, he served in the Army, not the Navy.
He would be captured on September 10, 1777 during the Battle of Brandywine, and held by the Brits as a POW.
Much more horrendous than the beatings he took from the Vietnamese, his torture would consist of being force fed British cuisine. Oh the Humanity!!
Barack Obama? He’d be a slave of course.
He’s spend his days working t
he corn and tobacco crop on Thomas Jefferson’s grounds near Monticello.He’d be kept down by the man ‘neath the hot Virginia sun singing spirituals, and telling his fellow slaves that he would be President after the war.
They would all laugh at him…kinda like we all did a year or so ago.
Then at night, he’d retire to his bunk and kiss his wife, Sally Hemings, and their kids goodnight…
And then he’d turn to Sally and ask, “Why the hell are our kids so damn white looking?”
Lastly, I ponder…What if George Bush had been around then?
Move over John Hancock...Dubya would be President of the Continental Congress when the declaration was signed.
And to this day, instead of Hancock’s voluminous, artistic signature at the bottom of that history altering document, there would be a ginormous “Y”.
Why “Y”? Because the fucktard mispelled “X”.
Later, on June 14, 1777, George would stand upon the deck of the John Paul Jones commanded frigate, Ranger, for a portrait-op...
Declaring, “Thy Mission...tis’ Accomplished.”
He’d be right…Well, several years and many deaths later.
And so, there you have my take on an alternative revolutionary world.
I’m sure that Bill Clinton and Ben Franklin would have tag teamed Marie-Antoinette while on “diplomatic assignment” to France, as well.
Cheers!!
