Wait until they realize the conservatives (aka: Tories, Loyalists, or King's Men) were also very much against the American Revolution. They preferred the security of the Crown. Of course it's all ancient history now... but the constant recasting of history by conservatives to meet some fantasy ideal, and then using "progressive" or "liberal" as if it were a dirty word seems to be their modus operandi for almost everything. Of course I guess if most of one's social philosophy is absurd, and based on propaganda and some weird melding of pseudo Christianity and capitalism, one has to justify it somehow. Lacking that, one can just create and then attack their perceived "enemy" -- or in this case, the line of philosophical thought (which has been developing since before Plato) about the role of organized societies that brought them freedom in the first place, and then a living wage, no child labor, clean air and water standards, health inspections, etc, etc... 

Seems sort of dumb to me.
