The cultists of Ayn Rand follow an ideology foreign to America. Put down the philandering russian and pick up a collection of Hamilton’s works.
You don’t get it either because have not read Hamilton (and selective quoting from a google search doesn’t count) or because sacrifice is unimaginable to you. Hamilton was taking an extreme monarchist position to try to balance the lunacy of the Ant-Federalists and parochial mobs. He was willing to become a pariah to create a stable government.

The reference I cited ( http://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/debates_618.asp ) was Mr. Hamilton's 'high water mark.' He could have discussed absolutely anything in the world, regarding government, and he elected to suggest that "the British Govt. was the best in the world." You may wish to rationalize his statements - that is obviously your right. But if the convention had actually adopted his 'plan of government' (with a President & the entire Senate serving for life), I doubt he would have complained - no matter what you & your fellow Hamiltonian-big-government "cultists," who obviously "follow an ideology foreign to America," may think...
