This is a common cliche` (yes, it has become a cliche`) of the past 10 years as a liberal response to conservatives.
However, it's a really silly cliche'. (Also, how did the Native Americans get here? hmmmmmmmmmmm....)
We can claim any idea/concept or law as faulty and unnecessary if we reach back to before the idea or law existed. [
