So nobody is going to point out that it was stupid fucking question to begin with? They weren't fucking Power Rangers, they were the Founders of this country.
Glenn Beck is a retard with a thesaurus. Too bad that he doesn't realize that there were a shitload of Progressives in that group of founders.
Because lots of Americans have a favorite among the Founders... and while I can't attest to what Beck does or does not know about the Founders - I am pretty confident that anyone who studies those great men would see that all of the were 'progressives' in their own way. After all, they committed treason to found a great nation. However, what they were not is socialist. Let's not pretend that 1700's progressives and 2010 progressives have anything in common. That, mo chara, is laughable. How many of the founders do you think would agree with Nanny States? And, before you answer, you better know your shit about the founders because I certainly do.
Was this supposed to scare me off or something? You obviously don't know me that well, yet. So lets do this-

Sure. Usually the favorites are something like, Ben Franklin or George Washington. You know the ones you learned about in Pre-K right after snack time. They are your favorite, because they chopped down a cherry tree or discovered electricity, not because they favored strong legislative over a strong executive.
After all, they committed treason to found a great nation.
Yep.
However, what they were not is socialist. Let's not pretend that 1700's progressives and 2010 progressives have anything in common. That, mo chara, is laughable.
This is where you veer off into opinion and find yourself running in circles screaming SOCIALIST and hoping nobody notices. The two are different. My point was that Beck likens the two, progressives and socialists. They are not. We are all progressive. Hell George W. Bush was progressive. DHS was was of the largest expansions of government since the New Deal, yet it is only now that Beck has decided that being a progressive is bad. What they have common is the desire to make this country better.
And, before you answer, you better know your shit about the founders because I certainly do.
I could give shit what you think you know and I don't scare easily. The question was stupid and you will have to forgive me if I hold the people that I will potentially vote for to a higher standard. This woman could potentially run for President. She has already run for VP and she seems to speak for my party whether the RNC wants her too or not. She was asked a question that likened our founding fathers to a football team. Was it too much to ask this woman what the duties of the President are how she would discharge them differently? Perhaps we could get a comparison of the of the Boston Tea Party and today's Tea Party movement. How would you reduce the deficit? Any fucking thing. These people make my party look bad. They make people who believe what I do look bad. They make conservatives in general look bad. You should be just as appalled as me, but apparently you are just another sheep. Too bad.
The question was stupid and the answer was stupid. No knowledge about the Founding fathers is going to change that. The fact that you think differently is laughable.
