Your personal favorite Founding Father

[ConsideringRonPaul]

I thought this would be interesting to see. I have a really hard time choosing between Jefferson, Washington, and P. Henry.

 

[ConsideringRonPaul]

I know this has been done before but I'm rekindling it essentially for my own self interest.

Thomas Jefferson was a genius. Unfortunately power corrupted him as he became president.

 

[Jtorsella]

Thomas Jefferson with his presidency cut out.

Samuel Adams

He is the father of Calvinist political action.

 

[ConsideringRonPaul]

I think my vote may go to Henry. Gotta love the guy who predicted that leaving the Articles would eventually lead to massive government growth (altho a strict reading of the Constitution would indeed say otherwise)

 

[FreeTraveler]

I'd be shocked if Hamilton gets any votes at all here. He's the historical Romney.

 

[Echoes]

Ill go out on a limb and say Hamilton gets few votes, if any.

Haha beat me to it.

He was good until he proposed a bill to suspend habeus corpus..during Shays Rebellion

 

[ConsideringRonPaul]

Hamilton and Jefferson butted heads repeatedly. Considering Jefferson is very similar to Paul in thought, I'm not surprised Hamilton wouldn't be very popular here.

Definately.

Many of us here are Jeffersonian in nature.

Franklin was just a badass.

 

[Cap]

I chose other, because Ron Paul was not an option.

 

[klamath]

Nctually none. The combined vision of all of them is what got the country on somewhat of the right track. It was the very antagonism of each other that created the seperation of powers that was the genius of the constitution. It has been worpped and pulled strained and streached but so far in human evolution it is still the best system for dealing with many conflicting interests.

 

[Seraphim]

My 2nd favorite.

Franklin was just a badass.

 

[Snowball]

George Washington is THE father of this country and deserves more votes.

First national bank. Enough said.

No jefferson would be of a neocon beliefs in modern day. Jefferson like the modern neocon was not satified with the borders of the United States and had visions of a grander country just like modern neocons are not satified with modern US bounderies and hav vision of a grander empire.

 

[ConsideringRonPaul]

The national bank was more Hamilton's influence, not Washington himself. Don't blame solely Washington for it. And besides, everyone on this list is imperfect.
