Gay marriage wouldn't bother him and who is for open borders? Maybe the past 60 years of administrations who didn't close them because capitalism loves cheap labor.
You are nothing like a Founder. They didn't live in the past. They based the country on liberalism and we are still a liberal nation, like it or not.
Gay marriage wouldn't bother Jefferson? LOL
It would bother JFK and Roosevelt a great deal, much less Jefferson.
My opposition to gay marriage isn't about "the past", it is about the fact that gay marriage was literally used as a wedge issue and an anti-Christian issue and not something akin to civil rights for blacks or the women's suffrage movement. Show me the gay genetic sequence and I will fucking march to destroy homophobic religions and institutions yesterday.
