Fer cryin' out loud all of our founders and framers were idealists including Henry. No, you have the blind spot. I can refer to any lefty blog to find demeaning accusations like yours against the Patriot Fathers. The Articles had serious defects which neither you, nor apparently Patrick Henry have been able isolate, analyze and offer solutions. That is why it lasted less than a decade. They could not be corrected. Madison recognized the defects of the Articles and showed up to the convention ready to correct them.
The Constitution put the philosophy of our Declaration into practice. What would be the underlying philosophy of Huck's perfect government?
It must be awful to be you, unable like any lefty to love his country.
Yeah right. Find me a lefty who says the Constitution made too powerful a national government. Find me a lefty that says we were better off as a confederacy. Lefties whine about the founders owning slaves and crap like that. You never hear me getting into any of that.
The Constitution put the philosophy of our Declaration into practice.
No it didn't. The Declaration says the people have a right to alter or abolish their government. The Constitution says they must first get 2/3rds of each house to vote for it, then they need to get 3/4th of the state legislatures. Big difference.

That government is nothing more than a choice among evils.

It's fine to be me. I am happy to live in the USA. Hell, I'm happy living in NJ. I don't have to lie to myself to be happy. Life is interesting. It's fascinating. The quest for understanding is quite enjoyable. I don't have to pull the wool over my own eyes. I'm not squeamish.
