I’d add Alfred Kinsey to that list and Alexander Hamilton.

You forgot George Washington, the Abraham Lincoln of his day. Sheesh.

Alexander Hamilton was THE American conservative.

What?!

If you think "conservatism" = empire without the king.

That's what Hamilton was all about. "What's good for General Bullmoose/Is good for the U.S.A.!" could have been his slogan (hat tip to cartoonist Al Capp).

“Alexander Hamilton was THE American conservative”

That’s hardly applicable to the founders. Does that mean that his arch nemesis Jefferson was leftwing?

Hamilton was a nationalist who advocated a strong central government. Jefferson was for limited government and state’s rights. Either way Hamilton doesn’t belong on the list.
