I’d have to agree.

And it’s amazing how people on FR will change their tune when it comes to various issues, or rights.

Suddenly, although the most powerful thing during the Rev was the occasional 18-lb siege cannon, suddenly it doesn’t matter that things have changed when it comes to weapons rights.

I prefer to remain consistent.

I do believe the Founders (particularly Washington, the pure genius of the bunch) believed in what we call “isolationism”, rightly so. Washington’s speech was required knowledge at 1 time. And the general principle is sound that 1 should try not to involve oneself in things not involving them.

May I also note Washington was a big fan of standing armies and navies. He was well aware what happens when “armies” are constantly going through turnstiles.

That said, the Founders were no slouches, and did not shrink from striking at those who seemed to be threatening them.

Also, it’s all moot now no matter what: we’re in Iraq. You can’t just pull out tomorrow. The Founders would agree, I’m sure.

In the 1780's the founding fathers fought over State Rights vs Federalism, Slavery, budget spending, military size, human rights, external United States relations, and law. Over the years they came up with good solutions. Now the idiots in Congress want to tear it all down.
