[Xenophon]

All the founding fathers were quite liberal for their day. The torries were loyal to the crown and were the Conservatives of the late 1700s. You don't get more liberal than equal voting rights and one man one vote

Its amazing how many say this and not understand the founders were all conservative capitalists.

Do you not understand that they didn't want to pay taxes to Britain?

The main reason John Hancock joined the sons of liberty was he owned the crown 100,000 pounds in smugling fines.

Only a handful of the founders were classical liberals and were in fact considered rather flakey at the time, the biggest being Jefferson (who refused to fight in the war, and instead stood home in Virginia trying to undermine Patrick Henry's governship of Virginia).

Sam adams was a failure in business and didn't want to go to debtor's prison, the place that Robert Morris, the 'financier' of the revolution ended up.

The things so many of you don't know about your own history is shocking.

The Torries and revolutionaires would not understand the behavior of the modern fabian socialist who has co-opted the term 'liberal' but they would recognize the stupidity of calling all loyalists 'conservative' considering the society they lived in was about 99.999999999999999999% conservative.

This is a joke. Jesus was not a liberal. Nothing he preached was liberal. Jesus never taught anything to do with the state, it was not his realm. Nor was Jesus a conservative. Jesus was Jesus, far to good a person to belong to any ideology other than his own religion. Trying to place him ‘in your corner’ is an exercise in futility and a smear on God.
