Hamilton, his party and his aristocratic baloney did not long survive the marksmanship of Aaron Burr. Maybe he did not fire on Burr because he knew he was about to receive justice and did not want to meet his Maker with an unjustified attempted homicide on his hands to add to all the rest of his transgressions. Or maybe it was a belated admission that he was as blind as a bat over the duelling distance.

You claimed that poor little Hamilton was without influential FRIENDS. I responded that Washington was his friend and is rumored to have been influential. Of course, you may disagree. Why would you let facts get in the way of your fantasies?

You are right about Bobby Darin and Artificial Flowers. Broken clock...twice a day...

While you were gushing out all that mythology about greatest SecTreas, etc., you somehow forgot Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Was Hamilton your ancestor or something?????

When did Rhode Island ratify???? When did the Constitution come into effect???? When did Washington take office???? Whoooooopsie!!!! That the new regime illegally usurped the power of the old is not sanitized by the fact that the ad hoc 12 states collective did not attack and conquer Rhoode Island.

Apparently you believe with Hamilton that the world should be run, without interference, by those who own most of it.

After twenty years, America grew up.

Then it really matured with the abolition of the corrupt Bank of the United States and reached its powerful status during the period from Jackson's abolition of that execrable aristicrat political slush fund central bank through even the War Between the States and to the even of World War I when the usual gang of suspects created the Federal Reserve and the federal income tax almost simultaneously. If your Treasury god Hamilton had suggested an income tax on working folks in the 1790s the streets would have run blue with the blood of arrogant aristocrats. Lowell Weicker seldom visits even Connecticut any more lest his privilege protecting state income tax antics catch up with him. Weicker was nearly the last Hamilton.

That the Union became (so far) perpetual resulted from force of arms during the late unpleasantness of 1861-1865 and has nothing whatever to do with the text of the constitution particularly as amended by the Ninth and Tenth Amendments.

Since we elected Ronaldus Maximus, it is not your great-great-great-great grandfather's GOP any more. It never will be again. Call it Jacksonian Republicanism. Gladly would I have the GOP run the Jefferson-Jackson Day dinners and send Lincoln to that other party which takes their memories in vain.

In Hamilton's time, my preference would be Patrick Henry.

Interesting but tiny universe that you inhabit. How many moons has your sky?

As I noted you cannot post one sentence of Hamilton's supporting your LIE that he was in favor of an aristocracy or a monarchy.

There was no seizure of power by the new government. There was no power to seize. Congress had collapsed and there was no government worthy speaking of.

You LIE again in claiming Hamilton believed the rich should run the world though that was certainly the way things were particularly in the South. Hamilton wanted to tie the rich to the federal government not for their benefit but for ITS benefit.

You obviously know nothing about the National Bank. Jeffersonian propaganda is not very reliable. Your babbling about that, Lowell Weicker, the Fed and the income tax has no bearing on the LIES about Hamilton though they make it clear you don't know anything about the Fed either. If you did you would know that the big Eastern bankers had fought against it for decades and it was the Western farmers and miners which wanted it beginning in the 1880s.
But hate and ideology is a sure prescription for ignorance.

The strength of the Union resulted from the elements you don't understand but hate anyway: Hamilton's financial program and the National Bank. I was not speaking of the Constitution though it certainly was intended to form a more perfect Union.

Apparently you prefer Rhetoricians to men of Action and Courage since Jefferson and Henry are your stars. They sounded good it is true.
