Yes they were. Amazingly so. And conversely, the federalists were dead wrong--none more so than Madison, whose most famous Federalist Papers read like absurdist comedy (#10 and #46).

Our system will prevent factions? Instead it created a civil war. Federal powers will be few and defined? More like infinite and boundless. And the antifederalists prove that this was quite foreseeable at the time, and not merely a post-New Deal anomaly.

I guess there are to types of people, those that despise central authority and those that kowtow to it.

While it may have been foreseeable in the flaws of the 1787 Constitution, as pointed out by the anti-federalist, It was also most clearly unintended & unauthorized as sold by Mansion.

The more active defense of our liberty is authorized. The patriots cry for liberty must be channeled with the entitlement of the lessons of history.

Like it or not we now have an overbearing and imperial Goverment to deal with. We must out-think and out maneuver our enemy and remember the art of War.

While this evil may be more dug in then ever before it is also old and its practices reviled. Like an enemy who has been to battle too many times we can predict how it will behave as well as how to manipulate it.

The Object now is to wrassle it to the ground using both political cunning and situational entrapment.

The political forces with control this monster can be manipulated to weaken & cripple it before us. Unfortunately that means we are going to have to abandon somethings that are important to us at least for a short time.
