Wrong. You keep getting lost in the minutia. Collectivism is fascism, socialism, communism. They are all the same house, just painted a slightly different color. What they choose to believe in as far as racism and all the other shit is immaterial. They are COLLECTIVIST first. The choice of targets is merely a tool to direct the followers.
Collectivists tend to be far more Socially Conservative, and Nationalistic than the Individualist.
Individualist is by definition the Liberal Left.
You don't get socially Conservative values by being an Individualist.
In fact Individualism is all about the self. It really has no value in the real World.
Wait a second..
Conservatives by nature are independent/individuals
I can't stand a lot of my fellow conservatives.
But we come together
In a way he is right. We are the true liberals, we are the supporters of liberty, laissez faire capitalism, and individualism. We are those with the ideals of Mason, Jefferson, Paine. The Communists are LEFTISTS, totalitarians, thugs.
The Founding Fathers really weren't particularly Liberal or for Democracy.
They only let 6% of the population vote in the first election.
They also had Black slaves & thought only free Whites of good character were to become US citizens.
Of course they weren't for Democracy as a system of government. They were highly educated and understood that Democracy is mob rule. As was evidenced by the horrors of the Peloponnesian War. They were however VERY Liberal, in the original meaning of the word, which is LIBERTY FROM GOVERNMENT.
Pretty amazing factoid you present when they didn't even bother COUNTING voter participation till around 1828. Voter participation at that time was above 50% but below 60%. I don't remember the exact numbers.
Virtually the entire world still was engaged in slavery. So that is a non starter. And your claim about who was allowed to be a citizen is pure and total bullshit.
Are you spewing this crap because you are truly this ignorant? Or are you lying for a reason?
"The action of the first Congress would become the future gold standard for immigration and citizenship. There were no immigration laws at this time, no waiting lists or quotas -- you just showed up.
Once here, residents had to live here for at least one year, have good moral character, and take an oath before a court supporting the Constitution in order to become a citizen. Any children under the age of 21 in the same household were also deemed citizens."
