Why do liberals deny that the founding fathers held political views identical to today's Tea Party?

The 47 percent number is misleading 63% of the supposed 47% pay payroll taxes. The founding fathers did not want a "Christian Theocracy". One of them who you may of heard of, Thomas Jefferson who wrote the Declaration of Independence understood that church and state ought to be separated. In the Constitution (Bill of Rights) the first Amendment starts with "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof". Gosh last time I checked a theocracy would require the government to make laws respecting the establishment of religion.

So the idea that the Founders were Tea Partiers is erroneous. To continue, even if they were tea partiers they were the first to admit they were imperfect. Washington hated political parties and once said that the person who should be president is someone who does not want to be president. He had a distrust of politics and political parties in general. We aren't a theocracy we are a democratic republic. [I have the vague feeling he is T-rolling].

The founding fathers held the political view that slavery was a good thing.

I don't think that view is identical to the Tea Party.

But, even if I am wrong, that alone should be sufficient to demonstrate that the founding fathers were wrong about many things, and that we should not do what they wanted.

Here are some more examples:

The founding fathers did not favor letting women vote.

Many of the founding fathers thought slave owners should be allowed to have sex with their slaves.

Finally, the founding fathers favored "freedom of religion" for all religions, including Islam, and would have be horrified by the efforts not to allow the construction of a mosque. And Obama did not build it. And it's not at ground zero.

So you said "the fact that liberals no longer allow us to run a Christian theocracy like the founding fathers wanted, and the fact that Hussein Obama finished building his ground zero mosque which they'd be outraged about."

First of all the founding fathers were mostly Deist and most of them did not believe in the Christian bible. Jefferson was called an ATHEIST by Christian ministers of his day, who tried to block his presidency! How can Christians claim him now as one of them? You are a joke. And second. How ironic you are foxnews#1 fan. I'm glad you brought up that Hussein Obama ( you teabs love to say Hussein as if Barack Obama wasn't Muslim sounding enough) wanted to build a mosque in NY. Do you know who was the man who would actually give the biggest funding to that mosque ? His name is Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, a Shariah loving Muslim. Ironically the same man who is the 2nd biggest shareholder of Your beloved Fox News. Lmao you are super ignorant.

The 1796 Treaty with Tripoli states that the United States was "not in any sense founded on the Christian religion" (see the image on the right). This was not an idle statement meant to satisfy muslims-- they believed it and meant it. This treaty was written under the presidency of George Washington and signed under the presidency of John Adams.

"No man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place, or ministry whatsoever." Thomas Jefferson -Virginia Act for Religious Freedom

"Christianity neither is, nor ever was, a part of the Common Law." Thomas Jefferson -letter to Dr. Thomas Cooper, 1814

"We discover in the gospels a groundwork of vulgar ignorance, of things impossible, of superstition, fanaticism and fabrication" Thomas Jefferson

"This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no religion in it." John Adams

"Lighthouses are more helpful than churches." "The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason." Benjamin Franklin-in Poor Richard's Almanac

"Religious controversies are always productive of more acrimony and irreconcilable hatreds than those which spring from any other cause. Of all the animosities which have existed among mankind, those which are caused by the difference of sentiments in religion appear to be the most inveterate and distressing, and ought most to be depreciated. I was in hopes that the enlightened and LIBERAL policy, which has marked the present age, would at least have reconciled Christians of every denomination so far that we should never again see the religious disputes carried to such a pitch as to endanger the peace of society." George Washington - letter to Edward Newenham, 1792

"The study of theology, as it stands in the Christian churches, is the study of nothing; it is founded on nothing; it rests on no principles; it proceeds by no authority; it has no data; it can demonstrate nothing; and it admits of no conclusion." "What is it the New Testament teaches us? To believe that the Almighty committed debauchery with a woman engaged to be married; and the belief of this debauchery is called faith." -Thomas Paine

"The Bible is not my book, nor Christianity my profession." -Spoken by Abraham Lincoln, quoted by Joseph Lewis

Maybe so,although I question how you know what the Founding Fathers would think about issues that didn't exist in their time. You have to remember that although they were free thinking,revolutionary men of their time it WAS more than two hundred years ago.

So maybe even if you're right,there has been progress in political thinking since then and you have some catching up to do.

The founding fathers never thought of that. As far as Iraq, we were to be out of there in a week, remember Rumsfeld?

You are not much of a history buff are you? Our founding fathers are probably spinning in their graves at what that bunch of retards are trying to do to our country.

If John Adams were alive today, he'd turn over in his grave.

But... I can find a Thomas Jefferson quote that backs my opinions.

Just by looking at your avatar picture, I can tell that you are ignorant, and don't have a clue what you are talking about.

Do you wear woman's knickers underneath?
