"They shook the etch-a-sketch and could make their new country however they wanted."

Wow. You said that publicly where people can see it.

The United States Founding Fathers were resolutely against using government as a weapon to entirely re-write society and put everybody into mass graves or gulags who stood against them.

You speak of the Founders as if you view the Founders like they are a bunch of Vladimir Lenins and Hugo Chavezes. It is very saddening to see this line of diseducated thinking on Free Republic.

Because it’s true. As for your strawman about gulags, well that’s just dumb.

No I speak about the Founders as people who had great ideas, but were flawed human beings and made some mistakes. Probably their single biggest mistake is that the allowed slavery to continue. They had an opportunity to get rid of it. They were making a new country that would only inherit the laws they chose to. And they chose poorly.
