I don’t believe the framers would be gathered today plotting to overthrow the U.S. government. They had a sense of history. They would probably be more amused and perhaps even proud that their creation functioned and continues to function so well. By their “creation” I include the concept of a nation in which free debate is encouraged.
Franklin, a relative late comer to the Revolution, would probably be blogging like crazy.
All that said, I don’t have an 18th century mind and can’t discern what they would have thought or not thought. I can say, that I’m growing tired of folks using “what they might have thought” as reason for treasonous outpourings against the gubmint they created.
Have you received yet your Obama brownshirt? Forgive me for insulting your Dear Leader, for whom I did not vote, but please refrain from charging me with creating the monstrosity that the US is fast becoming and for whose Glorious Protector, you continue to offer fawning allegience.
And one more thing, no one is “plotting” a damn thing. Or are you here as a Federal political officer leveling charges for a future show trial?
