Paleo-fundies?

Care to enlighten me?

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

Most of them were classical liberals with a strong and uncompromising faith in the Christian God. Today you'd call them paleo-conservatives and christian fundamentalists. They were champions of property rights, anti-taxation, anti-democracy, political speech rights, isolationism while at the same time passed hundreds of state laws that punished immorality and social depravity. Or if you prefer they were largely landed middle class Burkean-style conservatives. Paleo-conservative and fundamentalist protestant in today's relative terms or paleo-fundies.

I don't know what Paleo-fundies are either, but they certainly don't sound good. One thing I know is that the founding fathers were anything but, thank heavens. Franklin, Jefferson, Washington and Adams would absolutely freak at being so described, particularly the first two. These kind of threads are a total waste of energy. Little of value is said, typically. JMO.
