A great source of info documents from 500 BC to 1800. Many of the links are dead but most can be found with a little further searching.

If the Framers were here today and we were sitting in a room with them, they would ask us only one question.
“130 years from today there will be a leader of a nation and he will say the following: “”all leaders of the Constitutional Democratic Party, a party filled with enemies of the people, are hereby to be considered outlaws, and are to be arrested immediately and brought before the revolutionary court.””
Do you know why we put the Second Amendment in the Constitution?
That leader was V.I. Lenin. Sounds like what the Democrats have been saying about the Tea Party.
