For everything you mentioned in post #1, I'll bet a good and honest historian could find one or more of the founding fathers engaging in one or more of those very same ills you defined. Or at the very least they would attempt to temper them with the reality of the moment.

Honetly, if the founding fathers suddenly showed up today, there would be much they would be proud of and there would probably be much they would be disappointed in. But if I recall, they held many long and spirited debates during the time of the founding documents. I'm quite sure that many walked away very proud of some things and very disappointed in others.

Ok, we’ll pick an item from my list and let you go for it. Please name the founding fathers you think would go for abortion. How about partial birth abortion? How about taxpayer funded abortion? Do you think the founding fathers would say that abortionism is next to Godliness or would they think it’s a purely evil and barbaric practice? How many founding fathers thought they were writing “A woman’s right to choose abortion” into the constitution? Please name them and provide examples from their quotations and writings on the topic. When did the founding fathers debate abortion rights at the constitutional convention? Which founders were on each side of the debate? Where are the minutes or notes of the debate? Where are the letters, books, etc, written by our founders regarding the big abortion debate?

Please answer these questions, then we’ll tackle the next issue.

If they were around today they would all be FReepers, likely would ask Jim to lead them, and they would be moderators because they would want to get the Rootybot’s minds right.
