I don't presume to try and guess what the founding fathers would have thought of social issues. Quite frankly they were very liberal minded on those matters. Especially Jefferson and Ben Franklin.
What I DO know is that they believed in a limited federal govt. and the citizens having control over their own lives.
If you don't believe that and think the govt. is supposed to be a "nanny state" and fund everything for people...that is your right.
But being a smartass to me and trying to say I'm "channeling" the founding fathers so you can feel good about your opinion is just stupid.
Our country was founded on certain enduring principals of thought.
Yes, the details change over time. But the core base of it remains true. And I do believe that the Founding Fathers would be disgusted by what has happened to their vision of a "New World Order" in which the people would be in charge as opposed to being ruled over by the govt.
