It is gruesome to watch modern 'historians' distort and invent facts to project the promiscuity, immorality and inconsistency of today's culture on the principled patriots of colonial America. One can only wonder if they simply cannot tolerate a good example. Too many historians have taken Mark Twain's comical quip, "There's nothing so disgusting as a good example," and turned it into a mission statement.
