Right wing wackos argue the Founding Fathers would not support perceived Constitutional violations
Do they even know who were the Founding Fathers?

Do they know that the Declaration of Independence was signed by 56 delegates?

Do they know that there was a Constitution known as the Articles of Confederation before the United States Constitution signed in 1788?

Do they know that there were 10 Presidents before George Washington was President?

Do they know that there were 55 delegates to the Constitutional Convention?


All of the above had significant impact on the creation of a new government. And Republicans and their supporters know that all of the above would be against the actions of the government today??


Do they know that George Washington supported a strong central government and implemented an effective tax system? At least two points that Republicans do not in general support. That he avoided war while President unlike the Bush family. Warned against involvement in foreign wars unlike GW.

1. Glen Beck had an actor potraying Thomas Paine arguing for his cause
Glen Beck nor his followers have ever read Thomas Paine, if they did they would call him an evil socialist.

Yes, they are that fucking stupid.
