My original comment about the founders would be very upset to see who is President, I stand by it because they founded this nation and would be very upset to see what kind of trash we have running the show right now.The End.

And you seem to have missed my point, which was that your political diatribe sounds just like the political diatribes from 200 and 100 years ago. I didn't agree with Bush going into Iraq, but all that means is that I disagreed. People who really trashed Bush for that move hated him long before - Iraq was just the excuse they needed to give their hatred validation - at least in their own minds.
It's the same here. I'm no fan of Obama, but your obvious hatred seems to predate anything he's actually done.
"The founders would have hated" this or that is what every generation says about their own politicians, at least the ones they disagree with. They themselves had as many different opinions as there were people to have them. Jefferson and Hamilton hated each other with a passion. Aaron Burr managed to alienate Jefferson and his entire party, but did he really deserve to have Jefferson launch a vendetta against him?
I have my own opinions about what's good and bad for America, but I don't actually air them much because the one thing I have learned over the years is that I could be wrong. It doesn't matter which side of whatever issue they happen to be on; my beef is always with people who are convinced they are right, and therefore become incapable of having a real discussion about pretty much anything.
