The Founders wouldn’t have liked 19 trillion in Debt, unbalanced federal budgets, Abortion, legalized sodomy, Congress giving away their authority to bureaucrats, welfare, the war on poverty, etc.
It's been literally HOURS since I've benefited from some journalist telling me what I should think and do!
I was starting to go through withdrawals.
The Founders would not believe and wouldn’t approve of what has happened to America if you time traveled back and told them.
You Who? Isn’t that a Chocolate drink?
Like I said. Lincoln was more or less the beginning of this situation.
Maybe, the founders “worst nightmare” was someone born in a foreign country with a non-American father who fought alongside Castro being elected to the presidency. Or maybe their “worst nightmare” would be someone born inside the country to two foreigners from a country which is still considered to be our enemy to be elected as our president. Maybe... that is why they specified that the president could only be a “natural born citizen”, a term that just might have had a commonly understood meaning when the constitution was written, one which would disqualify both of the previous examples.
Yes indeed.
When Sanders policy wants of income equality, free this and that for the masses, public healthcare, and other socialist utopian goals translate into enormous growth of the federal government redistributors, Washington will get behind the Bern.
No. It is just that I know who Trump is. You don’t.
Trump is no worse than Andrew Jackson.
... One of their great fears was of a populist demagogue who would promise the people everything and respect nothing...
HRH George III said much the same about those pesky rebellious Colonists.
Yoo Tu Wong
Maybe. But he is not the first Populist presidential wanna-be.
Williams Jennings Bryant, Theodore Roosevelt, Ralph Nader, Ross Perot, George Wallace, even Huey Long who was killed a month after he announced.
So the founders envisioned theft of property, high taxation, massive centralized government gun control and uncontrolled illegal immigration.
No. It is just that I know who Trump is. You don’t.
No you don’t. Your comment merely exposes that you are so wed to a certain candidate you haven’t bothered to learn any thing about Trump that challenges your emotion based opinions
The founders believed in commiting to action to actually promote liberty, unlike Trump who believes in suckering people with vacuous rhetoric.
would have set the Framers' hair - or wigs - on fire
What an utter lie about Trump, as businessman par excellence his voice would have been heard, respected and generally applauded. Sanders would have been shouted down quickly at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, and Cruz would have gotten about five minutes of speaking time until shouts of, "Take it up on Sunday" would have resounded from the rafters.
This is another missive playing upon folks ignorance of the founders, ignorance of the underlying goals of the Constitution and just plain general ignorance. It would be nice to bring back civics as a discipline, but there would be no one qualified to teach it.
Weakly Staley crap.
