There's a lot to be learned from them.

spence, whenever I sit and think about the complexity of understanding when it comes to how the Founding Fathers developed the Constitution and Bill of Rights, I am completely astounded.

To think that a document more than 200 years old has stood the test of time and is still extremely relevant and fully applicable today is amazing to consider. Granted, it took them two tries, but nothing is perfect on the first try.

What I find even more astounding is how the Conservative movement in this country was (and to a degree still is) completely hoodwinked by neoconservatism.

Imagine Washington and Jefferson in an online critique the Bush Doctrine

I can just see GW throwing his wooden teeth at the webcamera shouting "9/11 changed everything my ass"!

That last line had me laughing, funny but true.

Hell, I'm sure the Founding Fathers are rolling over in their graves at what both sides of the aisle have done.

For instance, the Right to Bear Arms, was intended to mean that people could wear short sleeved shirts.
