And we all know that the French Revolution ended in freedom, flowers and cupcakes...

I liked how he said something that happened was just like an historical event, and then he describes something that isn't at all like what happened. But my favourite part is where he doesn't shake his head and say 'oh wait a sec, that's not at all what happened' but rather gets all serious looking and says 'oh this is serious!'

Wait, let me abandon all common sense. Ok, now I am upset about this.

So the French Revolution was about a constitutionally founded democratic France being overthrown by imperialist racist social Darwinists?

...except that any nobility who thought they could "direct" the angry mobs at their enemies in Versailles were eventually just as beheaded as the rest of them.

And then the gag is that nothing about the Revolution actually stuck, thanks to Napoleon, the Bourbons, the Communards and finally World Wars 1 and 2 wiping any remaining vestiges of it out. THEN France became a parliamentary secular state, which is exactly the OPPOSITE of what Tea Partiers want.

isn't this the guy who runs for president who can't be president because he's a felon? what a sad life

Democratically elected leaders doing things I don't like = power of self government of the United States destroyed.

The really sad thing is that this guy is no longer really outside of the mainstream political discourse of the country.
