Rather than deal w/ the sentiment you would rather get in some tangent argument. Truth is there are plenty of legit quotes by the Founding Fathers that affirm much of what you detest . . . and you know it.

Or against the small number of white supremacist insurrectionists who want a race war and to overthrow the government?<br /><br />If the former, have fun beating up that scarecrow. If the latter, I think you'll find that the commenters here agree--their attempts are criminal and should be met with full force of law, and if they do band together in enough numbers to start an actual insurrection, they should be squashed by the militia.Simon J.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-30173216806911899472014-04-30T19:39:28.964+02:002014-04-30T19:39:28.964+02:00Yeah, but they were slave owners . . .
Seriously,...Yeah, but they were slave owners . . .<br /><br />Seriously, the Founding Fathers were a complex mix of men w/ differing views on matters. How do you feel about Sam Adams views of Catholicism? Or the disagreement between Burr & Hamilton? Washington committing a war crime by executing Benedict Arnold's British liaison?<br /><br />Many (dare I state most) of the Founding Fathers (and their wives) were classists/elitists. Hello land owning requirements to vote. It was generally the lower classes involved in the rebellions during America's infancy. <br /><br />"where the existing structure of the government provides for peaceful and orderly change." <br /><br />This is question begging. Many a third world dictator holds "free" elections. Before the war for independence our Founding Fathers could have went to the House of Lords and/or the House of Commons to plead their case. Or go to King George (again). <br /><br />And anarchy did not ensue after The War for Independence! <br /><br />Laci & Mike - how would you have handled the men who initiated the Battle of Athens TN: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Athens_(1946)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />And anarchy do not ensue after the War of Independence!<br /><br /> <br /><br />Davidhttp://contributor.yahoo.com/user/94033/david_whitsell.htmlnoreply@blogger.com
