Time to dust this sucker off:

I would like to announce my $100,000 offer to anyone who can prove the American Revolution happened. I require three simple things. The first is proof that at least three of the major battles of the American Revolution happened. Acceptable proof can be either color photographs or eyewitness accounts by a reliable witness of those battles (of course, I must be permitted to interview the witnesses or examine the photographs to eliminate the possibility of fraud). The second thing I require is proof that George Washington cut down his father's cherry tree as a child. I will accept, as proof, a copy of the New York Times article from that period describing the incident. The third thing I require is evidence that the intent of the American Revolution was to establish a communist government. Acceptable proof would be notarized statements by at least two of the major figures of the Revolution expressing their admiration for Karl Marx.

My offer demonstrates that the so-called American Revolution hypothesis is nothing more than a religious belief since the adherents can't provide even the most rudimentary evidence that it ever happened.

As a corrollary: You can tell how big an idiot someone is by seeing how much they have to stack the deck.
