That may be true, but the man was a sh!t head (which says a lot about "Modern America"). Consider Mr. Hamilton's proposed plan of government:
http://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/debates_618.asp
"In his [Mr. Hamilton's] private opinion he had no scruple in declaring, supported as he was by the opinions of so many of the wise & good, that the British Govt. was the best in the world [one must ask - what was he doing in America?]: and that he doubted much whether any thing short of it would do in America...As to the [proposed federal] Executive, it seemed to be admitted that no good one could be established on Republican principles [Hamilton was obviously a RINO]. Was not this giving up the merits of the question: for can there be a good Govt. without a good Executive. The English model was the only good one on this subject [RINO!]. The Hereditary interest of the King was so interwoven with that of the Nation, and his personal emoluments so great, that he was placed above the danger of being corrupted from abroad [oh, you betcha]-and at the same time was both sufficiently independent and sufficiently controuled, to answer the purpose of the institution at home...Let one branch of the [federal] Legislature [the Senate] hold their places for life [picture "Dingy" Reid & "Chuck You" Schumer serving for life] or at least during good behaviour. Let the Executive also be for life [please note - Carter is still alive]...[a federal] Executive for life... will therefore be a safer depository of power. It will be objected probably, that such [a federal] Executive will be an elective Monarch, and will give birth to the tumults which characterize that form of Govt. He wd. reply that Monarch is an indefinite term [how Clintonian]..."
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.
