I understand she summed it up this way:
"Well you know, the two sides were up here telling each other that they were being warned about, y'know guns and they weren't going to allow the British to come in here and take their guns away. And then Pickett put it on his credit card by charging it and runnin' up that there deficit and yellin' rebels at each other about not wanting death panels so they fired at each other and died to protect us against socialism."
