We all know you spend your weekends dressed like a Stormtrooper and hanging out at the YMCA.
1) It's foolish to claim the Founding Fathers were socialists.
Spouting more lies, and ignorance, does not improve your argument any.
More Jefferson quotes:
Agriculture, manufacturers, commerce, and navigation, the four pillars of our prosperity, are then most thriving when left most free to individual enterprise.
On every question of construction [of the Constitution] let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or intended against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed.
A wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement.
I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground: That 'all powers not delegated to the United States, by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States or to the people' (10th Amendment). To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specifically drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible to any definition.
None of which refutes the one I posted. You are trying to do the usual right wing thing, and deflect from the original comment. Quite typical of you.
2) You support Darrell Castle and socialism??
The country was founded on a certain form of "socialism". The Founders called it the "social compact", and Christ called it compassion for others.
