"We must indeed all hang together, or most assuredly we will all hang separately." - Benjamin Franklin
So much for the rugged American individualism of the American founders.
If we don't share the burdens and risks of life, we will each succumb individually to them and none will know the rewards. Such a place cannot rightfully call itself a nation.
Edit: typo

2. They'd hate Jefferson too... |
|
He was too logical and thoughtful in his religious views, and would thus put a damper on the whole "Our fondling fathurs wood have support'd our Jihad for Jesus" excuse they love to use so much.
Can you imagine these jokers at the time of the Revolutionary War? "Gawd dammit, dont yew kno that King Jorj wuz appoint'd by Gawd to rool over us? Fuckin' libral revolootionareez and there intitlement tawk about 'rites'!"

They'd be Tory bastards, every one of them.
I'd like to make a multiple choice quiz of quotes by "founding fathers", Jesus, Marx and Lenin and ask the yokels to identify who said what.

5. I've had an urge for a long time... |
|
Show up the a protest, no matter what issue, so long as a good representation of the far right and the far left were likely to show up.
I'd just wander the crowd, asking people if they'd like to participate in a Constitution awareness survey and give them pop quizzes about the Constitution. I'm sure I'd ruffle lots of feathers on both sides that day, but the righties in particular, since they love to pretend that the sleep with the Constitution under their pillow, ready to invoke it against Obama, the Socialist Islamofascist Marxist Communist Atheist Kenyan Indonesian Irish Anti-Christ.

They'd attribute the "The man who casts the vote decides nothing, the man who counts the vote decides everything" quote to George Washington... or maybe Jesus. Jesus seems the type, at least in their view.

The U.S. Postal Service and public libraries are both socialist institutions. Both were founded by Ben Franklin.

9. Not to mention fire departments. |
|
Surely, we'd be better off with a free market firefighting system where you purchased fire coverage from the individual engine companies at monthly rates, submitting to home inspections at regular intervals to determine whether or not your home represents a high risk, thus requiring higher premiums.
No coverage for pre-existing fires, so blow out your pilot light lest a kitchen fire should start from your stove and leave you without coverage.

10. well, the wingnuts do want to replace Hamilton on the $10 with Raygun |

A few Alexander Hamilton quotations, to help you understand why:
"I think the first duty of society is justice." "A promise must never be broken." "In the general course of human nature, A power over a man's subsistence amounts to a power over his will."
and my favorite: "Men often oppose a thing merely because they have had no agency in planning it, or because it may have been planned by those whom they dislike." -describes Republicans perfectly!!

12. I think we should give them the dime and put FDR on the 20 |
|
I was never that fond of Jackson's wars against Native Americans anyway.
The 20 is handled far more than the dime. Well, in the old economy anyway :)

They really have this thing about "founding fathers", though they know nothing about them.
