for-fucks-sake quit being a retard. What happened just prior to the battle of LexCon?
Sarah Palin said:
HISTORY OF THE BATTLE OF LEXINGTON, ON THE MORNING OF THE 19TH APRIL 1775
BY ELIAS PHINNEY printed 1825
“They (British soldiers)de-tained him (Revere), with the other three prisoners from Lexington, till near three o’clock in the morning, when, finding no prospect of escape, Revere, in his turn, attempted to frighten them, by telling them, in a very triumphant tone of voice, “ Gentlemen, you have missed your aim. I left Boston after your troops had landed at Lechmere’s Point, and if I had not been certain, that the people, to the distance of fifty miles into the country, had been notified of your movements, I would have risked one shot, before you should have taken me.” Another told them, “The bell’s ringing, the country is alarmed, and you are all dead men.” This appeared, in some measure, to alarm the officers.”

Eyewitness to History
The atmosphere was tense, word of General Gage's intentions spread through Boston prompting the patriots to set up a messaging system to alert the countryside of any advance of British troops. Paul Revere arranged for a signal to be sent by lantern from the steeple of North Church - one if by land, two if by sea. On the night of April 18, 1775 the lantern's alarm sent Revere, William Dawes and other riders on the road to spread the news. The messengers cried out the alarm, awakening every house, warning of the British column making its way towards Lexington. In the rider's wake there erupted the peeling of church bells, the beating of drums and the roar of gun shots - all announcing the danger and calling the local militias to action.

Paul Revere's Ride
by David Hackett Fischer
At last the [British] officers began to feel the full import of what Paul Revere had been telling them. His words of warning took on stronger meaning when punctuated by gunfire. The sound of a single shot had suggested to them that surprise was lost. The crash of a volley appeared evidence that the country was rising against them. As they came closer to the Common they began to hear Lexington's town bell clanging rapidly. the captive Loring, picking up Revere's spirit, turned to the officers and said, 'The bell's a'ringing! The town's alarmed, and you're all dead men!'"

or you can read Revere's own humble version
At least Sarah didn't say Revere was warning all of the 21 colonies, and ....she did it without a teleprompter. The atmosphere was tense, word of General Gage's intentions spread through Boston prompting the patriots to set up a messaging system to alert the countryside of any advance of British troops. Paul Revere arranged for a signal to be sent by lantern from the steeple of North Church - one if by land, two if by sea.

Yes, lowering the deficit and raising taxes on the richest puts weights on your ankles.
That would be cool if it were true.

The federal government's financial condition deteriorated rapidly last year, far beyond the $1.5 trillion in new debt taken on to finance the budget deficit, a USA TODAY analysis shows.
The government added $5.3 trillion in new financial obligations in 2010, largely for retirement programs such as Medicare and Social Security. That brings to a record $61.6 trillion the total of financial promises not paid for.
You can raise taxes all you want to the determent of the future, you have to cut the government period. (opening for business would also be helpful)
Prepare for major austerity measures, we Greece now.
