The men who wrote the Constitution were the Donald Trumps, Koch brothers, Richard Mellom Scaifes, Bill Gates, Adolph Coors, Warren Buffets, E. Boone Pickens, George Bushs, Rockefellers, etc. of their time. They were writing a constitution designed to protect themselves (the minority) from the possibility of the majority (the people) passing laws that would cause them(the wealthy minority) to have to pay taxes.<\/font><\/p>\n

You learned your history where Michelle Bachmann, Sarah Palin, and Glen Beck learned history. Unfortunately, like those fore-mentioned, your historical facts are not the true facts out there. There was a mixed bag. on the whole though they were ruled by a code of duty and honor and were from the Enlightenment and they were looking out for the best interests of the many, as opposed to nowadays where we only care about the interests of the few (aka the Tea Party). Their fathers and grandfathers went through years of war and corruption and they just finished going through a war. They wanted something different. They wanted to make the commons the best place. A place to grow a vibrant democratic republic.<\/font><\/p>\n

Gotta love the Republicans for making people accountable for their actions. So many think that they can do whatever they want. You kill in Texas, you die in Texas.<\/font><\/p>\n

forget about the founding fathers ….. Eisenhower would be considered a radical socialist! Tax rate under IKE for the corporations was 52%…we built the interstate highways, public schools, bridges, fire and police departments and more with that money. teddy roosevelt would simply be ashamed of these idiots! <\/font><\/p>\n

They would hate it because the Repubs a) keep insisting things are in the Constitution that are not and b) twist their words to fit into the some unconstitutional language and say it’s in there when it’s not (like those fools are gonna look it up anyway).<\/font><\/p>\n

The sons a b###hes who keep saying "our founding father’s" just by what they say I KNOW they have never even bothered to read their private communications and letters to their friends and constituents. They read a document (the constitution) and can’t name more than 2 signers of it and they think they know what these people thought? #### them. why do they not bother to read Thomas Paine and his "Rights of Man?"<\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I voted \u201chate\u201d for obvious reasons.<\/font><\/p>\n

The new poll is about Tea Party identity.  Enjoy.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
