Democrats are afraid to even say the words “Founding Fathers”. They prefer the term “Framers” or “Founders” while omitting the term “father”. Because of feminisist liberal ideology, it’s considered a liberal sin to call them the Founding Fathers, even though all were men. A gender neutral term such as Framers passes politically correct language filters. Founding Fathers does not.
Where Barack 0bama's ancestors probably sold slaves.
Omnipotent? No. But let’s just say we have been singularly blessed that such a group of men were alive in the same time and place.
Fur Shur Howie was pretty abusive himself.
People are confusing “slavery” with the “slave trade.” The latter had been banned throughout the world, save for the United States. The Confederate Constitution followed suit, but mostly to prevent a depreciation in the value of their chattel slaves present.
Half the Founding Fathers kept slaves, and half fought slavery tooth-and-nail, roughly speaking. Their solution was to kick the can down the road—and to start the inevitable war.

I hope you’re being sarcastic about scrapping the constitution!!
What today’s liberals fail to understand is the sweep of human history. And in the sweep of human history, the freedoms we take for granted as an American birthright are an historical aberration. A system of elections, separation of powers, individual liberty, etc. which we live under today is, historically speaking, abnormal.
The liberals freely use their freedom of speech to criticize many things, without knowing how rare such freedoms have been in human history. They feel free to lecture all of us about everything that is wrong with America, without understanding how many dictatorial regimes have marred human history.
And the most irrational of all are liberal socialist types, who consider socialist and communist ideology to be such beautiful expressions. They just don’t see that socialism and communism are not compatible with all of the freedoms they take for granted under our system of government and free society.
What anti-American idiots like this never discuss is the state of freedom, or lack thereof in other parts of the world around 1790. Individual rights and freedom that were recognized by governments were a long time coming on this earth. Such rights evolved over many centuries and they still are not recognized by many, or most governments around the world.
The concept that any humans at all deserved rights before their government had to evolve, and the founders of the USA were light years ahead of most all others. Supposed informed individuals who make statements like those on this program are jackasses and fools.
Yeah ABC is communist and Amanpour is the worst which is why every Monday Rush Limbaugh is picking a fight with the show. I expect Tuesday another rant about this. I figure Limbaugh has it taped and is clipping segments for air.
But if you bring up how Ghandi treated his wife, “That’s different.”
The founding fathers were genius’s but were a product of their time. Just like all of us are. For their time they were way ahead of the curve.

Well ABC, it's a darn good thing that God created the Republicans, who gave women the vote and ended slavery.
Ain-it!
ABC= Bozo butt kissers, commie supporters much in love with muslims.
Seriously, who gives a crap!? ABC, Race Inc & the Marxist don't give a tinkers damn about slavery. We have slavery all over the world today. Slavery wasn't invented by America nor the Confederates and there isn't a people who have not experienced both ends of that spectrum. So they and anybody else who sympathizes with this non ending race shakedown, tries to force 'equality' or tap dances to their myopic & hypocritical accusations that whites deserve some sort of punishment can kiss my rear end. My children and grandchildren don't deserve punishment for anything. Merit has always been the American way and if that is 'too white' of a concept then so be it. My Dad and myself didn't do our duty for this and our founders sure as hell didn't risk it all for this. I don't give a rats rear end about ABC, blacks or any other whiners for that matter.
You show me a "gay" and I'll show you some shrink's patient. That's why they're "disease ridden whackjobs."
I hope he has fun with the fact that Amanpour’s “show” feels the need to put definitions for words right up on the screen to “help” their liberal viewers with “big” words.....a la Sesame Street.
Maybe next week, she’ll invite Big Bird to help her with her vocabulary-challenged viewers at the “News-eum”.
Slavery was pretty much part human history from the beginning.. Only the last couple of hundred years that slavery has been much been abolished, except for some muslim countries.
They considered the family as the basic unit of politics and they expected that the man would represent and vote for the true interests of the family.
