What would the Founding Fathers say if they were alive today?

[Rocknrule]

(inspired by Dave Letterman)

"We risked our lives for this country and now they let Bush have it?"
"Remember that Electoral College thing we made up when we were drunk? They're still using it!"
"Who hath let ye dogs out?"
"Fuck this, we're going to Canada"

1. They wouldn't recognize the place and how it's been pillaged

[izzie]

10. Well John Adams would really get his temper worked up

He knew what getting to smart for the rest of them did. Taking more President al power did not work even if he loved his country. Sort of odd he did it as he was so in turned to power and not trusting it but so wanted the country to work.

[Arkham House]

2. "We're 250 years old--how much Social Security does that give us?"

[dogday]

3. They would say we have to fight for what is

ours to begin with... I wish they were here to remind people of what is happening in our country today....:cry:

[Warpy]

7. That's exactly it

because the proportion of loyalists to those fighting for independence is about the same as between fear-driven conservatives and progressives now.

There are more progressives than most people think there are, something that is confirmed every time an issue oriented poll is taken.

We have numbers on our side. It's time to start fighting these bastards, throwing the hate back in their faces by calling it like we see it and reminding them that they've been in control of the country since 1969 in both parties and the current fucking mess is THEIR FAULT.

Don't let them get away with it any more.

4. "Let's move to France. "

"This placed is fkkkked."

"Ben Frankin was right. The corrupt assholes finally ruined it."

5. What happened to the Constitution?

All that hard work down the drain!

[Peace Patriot]

6. What would the Founding Fathers say?

8. The Founding Fathers would be labled......................

...."domestic terrorists" today and asked "why do you hate America"??

I can just hear George Washington respond to Cheney's accusations of hating America. George Washington would say something like, "You are asking me about hating America? I fought to bring this country into being, have you donned a uniform, picked up a rifle, and and protected a man's back in defense of America recently??"

Oh I could just hear Ben Franklin give Bush and Cheney a dressing down. That would be funny too.

[Blue Fire]

9. You mean besides wishing they were dead?

"Dammit George! I told you we should've legalized marijuana within the constitution!"
"Methinks we should have clarified that our references to god were merely symbolic and certainly not misconstrued that he should be a member of the cabinet."
"You know, Mr. Adams, they sure do brew one hell of a fine beer in your name. Tasty! Without a doubt!"
"What say you - would not a good blowjob serve this nation well during these times?"

[bunkerbuster1]

11. How this Congrefs doth fsuck!

What hath we wrought? The citizenry are well and truly fscrewed.

[charlyvi]

12. Holy Fshit. Verily it ifs true! Yikefs! n/t

[Golden Raisin]

13. They'd all be swiftboated.

I'd particularly like to know their opinions of Bush's so-called "signing statements". All that careful work they did to craft checks and balances and Bush just blithely decrees he'll pick and choose which parts of laws, or which laws, he will or will not choose to obey/enforce.

[johnaries]

16. Revolutionary War Veterans for Truth.

Hey, that would make a GREAT satire web site! A site using "swiftboat" tactics against the Founding Fathers, showing how ridiculous the swiftboaters really are.

Somebody, please steal this idea!

[SoCalDem]

14. Kill me now!

:P

[Rex]

15. "Pathetic."

"Sad."

[Guy Fawkes]

17. "We were right about the voting..."

"... but wrong about the system."
FYI: The 'founding fathers' didn't want the people to have the greatest choice for president. They felt that even the "educated whites" (white male land owners) were too stupid to elect a president, so they set up the electoral college system we still have today.

[Thickasabrick]

18. "We thought it was clear there would be no monarchy"

[Generic Other]

19. "I'm not your stepping stone"

[rug]

20. Let's compromise on slavery.

[Swamp Rat]

21. "Hail, ye inbred halfwits!"

[leftchick]

22. "What The Fuck???"
