The Federalist Papers comes as close as it gets as to the philosophy of the Founders. It has none of the rhetorical devices you quoted or political slogans.

Capitalism does not represent the American People as the federal government does so your analogy is, once again, vacuous. Neither does a Church. The government is a unique institution and engenders unique hatreds and obsessions.

Your expectations appear to be satisfied by random ravings.

The Federalist Papers was not a unified “philosophy” from the Founders, but represented disparate views, and those disparate views were then strongly opposed by the Anti-Federalists in their own papers. Do you not know this, or are you simply leaving it out?

But even if I accept your lame counter about what the Holy Federalist Papers have none of, tell me what specific citation they DO have that postulates a separate status and set of laws protecting Federal employees. Quote the Founding Fathers’ original declaration supporting the view that, “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” I’d like chapter and verse from the Federalist papers, and then I’d like to know if this was universally held amongst the other Founders, and some writings from all the major players backing that up.
