Or better yet that they they didn’t all think the same. My one pet peeve is when peopel talk about the Founders all being in unison on the issues. I mean there was a reason why despite Washington’s hopes that we saw the emergence of political parties.

Or point out that some of their favorites thought owning people and stealing their labor was just hunky-dory, and that at least one of them fathered at least one child on a woman he owned.

Not only do they need to see the Founders as being ‘just like them’ in political beliefs, the Founders also have to be free of any flaws. Similarly, they castigate Obama for pointing out that the Constitution was deeply flawed - fer chrissake, slavery was Constitutional!
