Hate the Founders do ya? They won you the right to insult them.
The "H" word. "Hate". Assigning emotions to political speech. That sounds familar. Who uses it a lot? The faction which Jefferson is responsible for creating...the Democratic party.
Think Oliver Wolcott, Roger Sherman (the only man to sign all 4 great founding documents), Fisher Ames, Morris and other framers were enthralled with Jefferson? They weren't.
Wolcott suggested in 1798 that the north leave the union if Jefferson were elected president.
When the country was founded, "democrat" was a pejorative. Jefferson ran away from it. His faction swore they believed in republicanism. Then they hid under the Republican/Democrat label for a while but eventually what they really were came out;advocates of what the framers feared as more or as much as judges and monarchs: the mob.
They rigged the system just as Democrat do today. Slaves were counted as 3/5ths of a person for representation in Congress. Swell guys. They got to vote based on the number of human beings they owned. They also took mortgages out on them. That is why Jefferson never freed his slaves. He had loans on them. He liked French wine and living the life of a country squire, he liked mouthing off about liberty more than liberty itself.
