    If the British had won, drinking Southern sweet tea would be a crime punishable by death.

    If the British had won, American exceptionalism would be constrained to preposterous women’s hats.

    Well, there are other items:

    * Johnny Cash would sound just like Elton John.
    * Tom Hanks would not have made a horrible, horrible reproduction of the excellent original Ladykillers.
    * The Marines would say, “Hard cheese! I say!” instead of Ooo-rah.
    * WE’D ALL BE GAY!

    What’s with the wigs in British court rooms? It’s like having a murderer’s fate decided by cartoon characters.

    At least the British don’t have a wasteful, fake fairy tale monarchy.

  2. If the British had won…

    …we would be nation of bad teeth and bad breath.

    …it would be illegal to own guns.

    …Michele Obama would be our Queen.

    …we’d already be overrun by Muslims.

  3. I’d comment with something “whitty” but I’m feeling a strange malaise for some reason… It can’t be because they have shut down MN government, that should make me happy! I think someone told me to “step up my game” and hurt my feelings…and it’s all about my feelings…and now they are hurt and I’m feeling bad about myself! Life just isn’t fair! Meanie bad man! I don’t think I will ever write anything again… I need a vacation…

    True, true, but that must be weighed against polite discourse with liars liars pants on fires, noses as long as telephone wires. Polite discourse is hard.

  5. Just because I made the statement makes it polite political discourse.

    – If the British had won, we’d be part of Canada.
    – If the British had won, we’d call Freddie Mercury one of our own.
    – If the British had won, we’d all be eating spotted dick for dessert after a plateful of haggis. Then, we’d vomit. Collectively.
    – Cricket and soccer, say no more.

  6. And their wigs don’t even look real! It’s like they ran over a possum, bleached it and flopped it on their head. I see their dark hair sticking out the sides. It’s really quite unattractive.

    If the British had won… we could play the victim card!

  7. I’m not sure if it counts as hyperbole when someone says “You’re going to drive off that thousand-foot cliff!” when the canyon he’s speeding toward is only 700 feet deep, and there’s a chance that he may be able to stop in time.

  8. The thing to remember was that back in the 1770s, the Brits were a world power who thought nothing of sending a bunch of German mercenaries to deal with some uppity colonials. And if they’d won, they would have stayed that way, so we’d be part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, Ireland, America, Australia, and India.

  9. Glenn Beck make the unthinkable mistake……………..he told the unadulterated truth to Americans. He didn’t pander, he didn’t sugar coat, he didn’t pull bogey men out of his…..hat. (cleaned that up, you’re welcome) He told America that with all the enemies she has outside her borders the one’s she really needs to be afraid of are already here. Her people need to look in the mirror if they want to see who’s responsible for the mess we’re in.

    He had the audacity to maintain that we, we the ignorant, we the lazy, we the distracted, we the immoral, we the integrity challenged, we the voyeurs (seen any good “reality TV” lately or maybe seen anything well written, with an actual plot and intelligent dialogue come out of the entertainment gulag), we the unable or unwilling to engage in actual constructive conversation to solve the myriad of problems facing us (and our children and our grandchildren and their grandchildren, should the Earth survive that long-not because of the green, but because of the God).

    “We have met the enemy and he is us”.- Pogo

    ……..and yes it has been a crappy day, thank you for asking.

  10. “Glenn Beck was right about you…
    I’m going to punch you in the nads and then vote against you!”
    (From my premiere contribution to IMAO Reader Theater – The Progressive Agenda).
    Ah, the good old days.
