[Grand Old Partisan]

Alexander Hamilton was ten times the man Thomas Jefferson was. Jefferson was what today we'd call a limosine liberal, and Washington would not even say his name after he left the Preisdency.

Jefferson's name was never to be even mentioned in Washington's presence he abominated the man so. Fortunately he died before having to see J sworn in as president. That alone would have probably killed him.

Hamilton was the principle architect of the modern capitalist economy of the US which has allowed the creation of the most powerful and free state in world history. But for him the Slavers' Revolt would probably have succeded.

Hamilton argued for an elected monarch, a national bank, a mercantilistic state much as Britain had at the time, Senators for life exactly as the House of Lords, and a subjugation of the states to the federal government instead of the federalism originally established by the Founders.

Hamilton was a worthless man. All I can say is too bad Burr killed him. Else within a few years people might have seen him for what he really was, a monarchist with an iron fist
