[ The Founders were not for weak government.

They were, however, for limited government. ]

They wanted something stronger than the “Articles of Confederation” so they took a small step towards that with the constitution and the setup of the separation of powers.

If Newty boy was right about the founders wanting Strong government they would have swung the pendulum to the other side rather than just taking a few steps toward the center from anarchy.

Gingrich didn’t say what you just said...he said, “The founders were not for weak government”

He is exactly correct.
