    The founding fathers would be sickened by what we have allowed our country to become.

    They never envisioned a land where people pay half their income to the government, where the federal government controls everything so strictly that we seem like a virtual Great Britian in the 1700's! We have become the very thing we fought to liberate ourselves from. And the founding fathers NEVER envisioned a land where someone can get more time in jail for selling a bit of pot than a rapist.

    More shameless advertisement:

    We are lucky enough to have a candidate running for president that wants to return the country to the constitution, to eliminate the income tax and the federal reserve. To restore the constitution to it's rightful place as the law of the land and restore civil rights.

    We are donating on this day, December 16th 2007, the day of the Boston tea party to help restore the country that we love, donate today to help restore the constitution.

    They would get sick to their stomach and organize another revolution. No one would believe them if they tried to actually explain what they meant by the Declaration and Constitution.

    I think they would have pretty much the same to say about it as many people I know:

    "Our sons fought for this?!? When I died I died for this?!? Are you kidding me? What are you fighting for? What is your reasoning? Does independance and equality mean nothing to you people? Sacrifice and hardship has taught you nothing. The "America" I know now is nothing but a group of spoiled, godforsaken children who are mad because they can't have their way"

    This is what our founding fathers would have to say.

    I'm sure they would be calling for a revolution.

    ...trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Although it hurts me to say this, because I love my country, I love America and I thank God that I live in the United States of America, but I honestly think that our founding fathers would be sick and saddened at what America has become today.

    -In Jesus' Name.
    Thank you and may God bless you! :D

    US has come a long way in terms of Human rights, labour rights, technology, Research and development and standard amd quality of living of an average Americans. They will be proud to see that, however, the immense gap in have and have nots, the poverty, and the "Do what I say, not what I do" ideology will certain hurt them to see US did not follow their ideology and legacy they left behind.
