hamilton was a high federalist, but you get a big F- in history, too.

how can you call a guy a big gov’t liberal when he predated government? you’re committing a howler of chronological error, and you’re also saying something that’s really just stupid when properly placed back into it’s historical context.

In the end the anti-federalists were correct. Look at 2018 and what the federalists have brought us. Massive government interfering in everything from healthcare to education. With a huge entrenched Deep State looking to mount a coup.

I was using the common vernacular to describe Hamilton. However, he certainly did not "predate government" because he was there under British rule, then under the articles of the confederation, and then under the constitutional republic. He argued in support of the Constitution as a replacement to the articles of the confederation because he argued for a stronger federal government. Then, once the Constitution was ratified, he then supported the federal government taking even more liberties with federal power than were specifically stated in the Constitution, and even went against some of his own writings in the Federalist papers.

You can give me an "F" in history if you like, but I don't recall asking you to grade my history in the first place. Coming from you, neither an "A" nor an "F" means a whit to me.
