It makes me uncomfortable to pronounce absolutes, but anyone who celebrates this whole affair is an enemy of freedom, and thus a scumbag. Can you imagine (as if liberals care) what the Founders would have to say?

Can't know for sure, but I would imagine they would be heartbroken at the state of affairs facing the persecution of our freedoms, not to mention the extreme to which government usurpation of power and intervention has been taken. I would imagine that they would be (if you'll excuse the cliche) turning in their graves.

Part of the Founder's theory and intention was to have, essentially, a "laissez-faire", or "hands-off" type of government. After being oppressed by the British government, a limited intervening government, they felt, was what was essential and most beneficial for their new nation and for the preservation of the basic freedoms. How far we've come from that desire. Now, everywhere you look, the people are crying for the government to do something about their troubles; are looking for "their slice of the pie" and want it handed to them with some whipped cream and a cool glass of milk. Broadly interpreted, our government has become almost more communist-like, which is far from what the Founders EVER envisioned.
