Even Thomas Jefferson, whome you lean towards, has betrayed you...time to get off this rock TTL.

I'm a cynic Saden, not a know-it-all like you.
Napoleon Bonaparte said, "A man will fight harder for his interests than for his rights."
I ask you. How are the legal rights of a Republic not self serving? From my point of view, a person's rights and interests are the same thing.
I'm not beholden to the Founding Fathers, as they themselves were not to the crown. The ideals that they championed are larger than the flawed people that we all are. Yes, even you Saden.
