My ancestors didn't fight in the Enlightenment for nothing!

"My ancestors didn’t fight in the Enlightenment for nothing!" is a joke by Karl Jones.

History

Jones states:

I probably said it in a blog post, likely Boing Boing, sometime in the 2010 - 2015 range. I liked it right away, stored it in near-short-term memory for ready quipping.
