You are naïve. The entire bank fiasco was a political deal that, in part got, the capitol moved to the Potomac, which was a pet project of Washington’s. The Constitution says what the enumerated power is regarding money, and the men you have on a pedestal were not merely mortal, but politicians, too. This isn’t uncommon. The same thing has been going on in the Eurozone with the ECB. The people (especially the German public) was given express treaty language prohibiting “quantitative easing. With the Euro in place and the ECB up and running, the “founding fathers” there are violating what the people signed up for.

Try to be patient with yourself. Slavery was a losing issue long before you were born. Try not to personalize it. None of it is your fault. ;-)

acilles, FRiend, I'd love it if you'd just come straight out and condemn our Founders for not following their own Constitution.

At least, that's a reasonably consistent, defensible position, equating roughly to the views of ANTI-Federalists like, say, Patrick Henry.
And, such ideas evolved, over time, to those of 1860s secessionists and today's lost causers.
It says that you didn't like the new Constitution in 1788, you didn't like it in 1860, and you don't like it today.
Fine, I “get” that.
What you want is something more like the original Articles of Confederation, or, say, the Confederate Constitution... oh, wait... wasn't the Confederate Constitution just a reprint of the original, except for that little matter, really a trifle, of a certain peculiar domestic institution?
Hmmmmm...

Of course, being anti-Constitution means, by definition, you're not conservative, but hey, who cares about that?
Except, well, except on a conservative site... Free Republic?
