What Would our Founding Fathers Think?

If The Founders of this Nation could come to the future and see what their dream had become what would they say?

i am not just talking about the mundane but serious important issues like: Foreign policies, federal/state Laws, Corporations, Lobbyist..

such things as abortion, Gay Marriage/adoption... civil rights or laws that inhibit your constitutional rights, Patriot Act.... school reforms, privatizing government jobs...etc etc..

you can pick a controversial topic and give us your opinion of what a founding father would say based on their views and history..

Founding fathers like:

Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, John Hancock so on and so on...

here, i'll start with one: what would the they think about us going to war with iraq/ afghanistan knowing the facts that are out there..

what would they have said about the korean war and interfering due to the supposed communistic threat to the world ?

They'd probably be like,

"Why is that ****** wearing a suit?!"

why the **** do americans care so much what those dead aholes from centuries ago would think? It's bizarre.

If you knew more about the founding fathers then you would understand why people care so much about what they thought.

Fun fact: Washington had a clause in his will that freed every slave of his upon his death, but Jefferson didn't. So TJ would definitely wonder what the hell went wrong with America in his absence.

Washington would as well. There's a difference between "freeing them after you're dead" and "thinking they're equal to you". The fact that he didn't free them while he was alive should attest to that.

Hmm, it seems to me that they were normal biased human being affected by their era and culture as much as by their high-minded goals.

They also had a price on their head for what they did. It took balls.

They had the same price on their head anyone who starts a revolution (read: most every country there is) had.

And what does that have to do with what I said? 🙄

They would wonder just what they're 200 years in the future.

If you think that the reason Americans respect the founding fathers is because of the risks they went through in the revolution, I would have to wonder why you wouldn't heap the same respect on Fidel Castro. Perhaps there are other reasons for why they are respected, and rather than actually articulate them, you instead made patronizing responses like "read more history".
