HUH? AMC Show Calls US Founding Fathers “Insurgents,” Terrorists – “Mad Men” Network Gone Mad
Did you know that America’s Founding Fathers were terrorist “insurgents”? That’s not only the favorite line of the HAMAS co-conspirator CAIR (the Council on American-Islamic Relations), but it’s now also the standard line from the AMC cable network.
AMC–the cable network known for the hit series “Mad Men”–has gone mad. Its new series, “Turn,” wants you to know that Islamic terrorists are no big deal because, hey, WE–yes, the Americans–were terrorists once, too. Like I said, this is HAMAS CAIR’s standard BS, and now it’s mainstream entertainment’s message, too.
“Turn,” which bills itself as a “new Revolutionary War spy drama” begins by describing the Founders who wanted to be independent from Great Britain as “insurgents.” The show declares, “Insurgents have declared war against the Crown.” Yup, we are the traitors, the terrorists. We are the bad guys–you know, just like all the Islamic bad guys around the world. We were like them once, is the message. Barf.
Reader Frank:
I recently came upon an AMC show called Turn (I thought it would be a good show about American history, spies etc.) The first thing I see is this written on the screen ‘Insurgents have declared war on the crown.’ American revolutionaries are now insurgents! I tried to watch the show but, I couldn’t get past that line.
I can’t either. Again, it’s AMC and Hollywood leftist TV show producers letting us know that we–Americans–are morally equivalent to the Islamic terrorists of today.
Gee, thanks for the tip, AMC. I guess that makes you what? Al-Manar? Al-Jazeera?
Here’s a tip for AMC. The Founding Fathers did not blow up buildings and murder 3,000 innocent civilians. They didn’t try to blow up innocent passengers on horses and buggies with their underwear or shoes. They didn’t do any of these things. In fact, they were quite civil compared to anything terrorists ever did. Benjamin Franklin didn’t behead his son for supporting the British. Nor did any of the other Founders savagely dissect alive their family members who supported the British Crown. They didn’t kidnap nearly 300 girls and sell them into sex slavery or forcibly marry them off to savages. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams,and John Taylor of Caroline were nothing like Osama Bin Laden, Hassan Nasrallah, Ismael Haniyeh and Yasser Arafat. Not even close. Not even in the same galaxy.
No, AMC, the Founders were NOT “insurgents.” They were civil, educated men who fought for liberty and freedom. The difference is quite clear.
So sad that you and the rest of Hollywood don’t get it.

Given all the high quality Bin Laden cinema coming out of Hollywood, I can’t say I’m exactly surprised.
After all, if Islamic terrorists are freedom fighters, the American revolutionary heroes must be the true terrorists.
This is how America’s cultural elite sees the American Founding and the country: as a deed to be atoned for. With that kind of language now invoked in a show on American history, let’s just say no bad deed goes unrewarded.
Debbie, thanks for the review. I won’t be watching “Turn” period.
