The Founding fathers were Liberals. It's why you have rights. Well, not so much then since you were property but, now you know.
Dude, you're blabbering, just because you spew something doesn't make it a fact. Back up what you say with facts. Hint: This is why I think you're an idiot
If you don't know what ideology founded this country, and I bet you do not, start here:
Liberalism - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
"Liberalism is a
political philosophy or worldview founded on ideas of
liberty and
equality. The former principle is stressed in
classical liberalism while the latter is more evident in
social liberalism.
[1] Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but generally they support ideas such as
democratic elections,
civil rights,
freedom of the press,
freedom of religion,
free trade, and
private property.
[2][3][4][5][6]
Liberalism first became a distinct political movement during the
Age of Enlightenment, when it became popular among
philosophers and
economists in the
Western world. Liberalism rejected the notions, common at the time, of
hereditary privilege,
state religion,
absolute monarchy, and the
Divine Right of Kings. The 17th-century philosopher
John Locke is often credited with founding liberalism as a distinct philosophical tradition. Locke argued that each man has a
natural right to life, liberty and
property,
[7] while adding that governments must not violate these rights based on the
social contract. Liberals opposed
traditional conservatism and sought to replace
absolutism in government with
representative democracy and the
rule of law."
