Federalist/Anti-Federalist ping. A short, but thought provoking, article.

Hamilton was a statist by the standards of the time (as opposed to the people like Jefferson and Madison), but they’d all be fierce defenders of limited government and conservative quasi-libertarians by today’s standards. The arguments at that time were around a much narrower range.

It is interesting that just as many historians have looked on Adams as the indispensable founder, Forrest McDonald picks Hamilton to focus on in his works.

Hamilton was a snake. He believed in debt for the country. He was the first bankster.

Jefferson and his pals were pro-Jacobin. He was also notoriously heterodox in his religious beliefs. The Federalists were anti-Jacobin, anti-subversive, and the bulwark of protecting religion.

George Washington must have thought so to, as he was a Federalist in all but name. And that means that Abraham Lincoln was not the radical break with the old republic that the Tertium Quids make him out to be.

Hamilton the musical?

What is he talking about?
