re: #276 SteveMcG

Is it me or would today’s right wingers have happily sent the founding fathers to the gallows back in the day?

Let’s think about this…

They’d have swung Fanklin for adultery
Jefferson for blasphemy and miscegenation
Hamilton for liking bankers
Washington because he believed the myth of Cincinnatus

Yeah, they could have happily pulled a “terror” and executed everyone they disliked for any reason whatsoever.

I note that all of Jefferson’s infamous comments about the tree of liberty date from before the French showed him just what that could mean…
