The Founding Fathers would Hate you.

The ultimate Irony of the United States is the question “What would the founding fathers think?” The ultimate answer to that question is one that hardly ever gets brought up. They would think we were idiots for caring what they thought—about anything. Besides the fact that these men lived in the 18th century and would have no context for thinking anything about our current issues of society, the simple fact is that these men were revolutionaries and free-thinkers. They disagreed with their governance. They disagreed with the law. They disagreed with taxation without representation. They disagreed with the status quo. And now they have become it. The founding fathers may not have liked that they were wrong when we overturned the rules they put in place by giving black people liberty and women their fair say in elections. But they sure would have been proud of the fact that we were following in their footsteps by saying, “Just because these institutions were sanctioned by others does not mean they should be sanctioned by us and tradition does not warrant these atrocities, so let us stand up against the wishes of our founding fathers and change their laws to seek justice and the common good.” What the founding fathers would think or do is irrelevant and they themselves would be ashamed to hear that question if they could still think today.
