‘Founding Fathers’ Then, ‘Freedom Fathers’ Now
PJ Media ^ | 11/1/2013 | Janine Turner

It’s about time. Tea time. Who makes our founding fathers smile in heaven? The Tea Party representatives who are standing up, standing tall, and demanding common-sense actions. John Adams would be proud of the Tea Party’s elected officials.

John Adams was the thorn in the side of the Second Continental Congress. Everybody hated him. He was “obnoxious and disliked.” He didn’t care. He was a visionary. He was brave. He acted on his educated intuition and inherent truths.

His poll numbers wouldn’t have been good either. He only had approximately 33% of the support of the colonies and marginally less in Congress. Another 33% of the colonists were Tories and the remaining 33% were non-committal, unaware, and uninvolved. Sound familiar?

They were Freedom Fighters then too—If the Brits had chatched them—they would have strung em up to the nearest tree. Remember King George called Washington a Terrorist.

Yup. And king hussein implies through his mouthpieces that T-party folks are terrorists. I’ll bet they would love to be able to string up some of those folks. They will before it’s all over.

In Federalist Number 57, James Madison wrote that Congress “can make no law which will not have its full operation on themselves and their friends, as well as on the great mass of the society.”

As wise an idea as this was, Madison and the other Framers failed to expressly incorporate such a limit on government within the Constitution itself.

I believe we need several amendments to the Constitution. How about you??

Uh, not sure if opening for a constitutional convention with the current clowns running the show would be such a good idea. Hell, they don’t feel obligated to follow the current one so even if we opened it up, who thinks they’d follow the newly revised one? Of course according to them the current one is made of silly putty anyway and is merely guidelines.

According to the brilliant Bill Maher, none of us Tea Party people have even read the constitution.

The “boy-king’s” DHS has stated this week, that any white guy with a gun, is a Terrorist.

Did NOT discount CCW at all!

Yep, good ol' George slaughtered the Redcoats' women and children by the thousands, along with anyone who didn't toe the Patriot line! Oh, wait...
