It’s fine. I’d rather have people believing in fairy tales about the Founding Fathers than fairy tales about socialism. Those seem to be the options.

“We The People will be cleaning out the DC sewer in November.”
We can replace the public face of corruption but the behind-the-scenes termites and career bureaucrats will still be there. It’s a start though.

Taylor . . .spun stories (of) Thomas Jefferson as a conflicted soul who wished to abolish slavery but because of his benevolence was reluctant to free his own slaves. "If you've been to Monticello and you see how Jefferson cared for them, they didn't want to leave," Taylor told the class. He didn't free them because, as property, they were assets on which he could borrow. Jefferson liked to live the high life was almost always in debt. He needed those people held in slavery to hold off creditors. At his death, his estate was $107,000 in the red. The man who made the word "democrat' acceptable (it had been a slander) is the poster boy of what the Democratic party is now and has always been.

I always find it funny when people comment on how I must “feel.” The truth is what it is.

I’ve always though the island of Adak in the Aleutians would make a great prison. It used to be a naval station and has living quarters, power plants, water supply... everything but access to the mainland.

Thanks for posting this article! The left is busy trying to protray the Founders as godless satanists in an effort to derail this movement. The Tea Party should recruit from this desire.
To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
Never mind. This story relates to white, middle aged tea party/militia type Christian Men, worshiping middle aged white Christian Man slave owners who rebelled against the king who owned everything. The Constitution is irrelevant because of that.

I am working my way through the Federalist Papers and I have started Tempest at Dawn by James Best. It is a fictionalized account of the Constitutional Convention of 1787 in Philadelphia, based largely through James Madison's eyes. It is awesome.
