"...The property/income restriction should still be around.
No Representation without Taxation is just as important as the reverse."

Well said.

It was actually called "turning off". A nice way of saying something that was pretty nasty. Because they just pushed them off the ladders.
Pressing was also used.

Wasn't Arron Burr the VP when he shot Hamilton? Or was he just a lawyer?

As a former teacher, I can attest that critical thinking is quite uncommon among students teachers today.

Those who can do, those who can't go to a university and get tenure so that they can warp your children's brains.

We have returned to the theocracy of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, figuratively burning witches (gays and lesbians) and hanging Quakers (Muslims).

Too bad we weren't doing more than figuratively burning the queers and hanging the Muslims. Perry Treadwell likely fears that outcome for personal reasons. ;>)

I'm not sure I got it right. And yes his shot at fame resulted in a man no one cares about except those of us who remember him for his prevarication.

I found the number of non-sequiturs and seques between unrelated points to be somewhat bewildering, to the point of losing all interest in deciphering whatever point this author might have had aside from his obvious loathing of republicans and republicanism.

If he's a FORMER teacher, how does he know about the thinking skills of students TODAY?

Strange how critical thinking is only thinking of which he approves.

Another left wing elitist.

Actually, suffrage was a matter for the states to determine and a few in New England allowed blacks who met the property requirements to vote at the time of the constiution.

North Dakota, Utah, Iowa, and Nebraska are among the top six states in high school graduation rates...all states that voted for Bush.

Another good quotation from that era that this author is probably unfamiliar with is "the swinish multitude," an expression used by Edmund Burke. Burke was the first to predict what a disaster the French Revolution would turn out to be. Before that he was known in America for speaking out in Parliament on behalf of the colonists' rights.
