The two greatest Americans of all time:

1) Thomas Jefferson

2) Andrew Jackson

We haven't had a real president since Jackson.

Each of the different sects segregated into their own kinds and persecuted everyone else who disagreed with them.

Catholic, puritan, quaker, ect.

The Majority of our Founders were not fundamentalist Christians, They Were Freemasons, and Rosicrucians. THEY are the reason why even you have the freedom to worship as you wish.

And the Officall position of the Catholic Church is that our Founders where memebers of a Satanic Cult.

PFFFT.

Respond to this video... Respect the forgotten George Mason of Virginia...the Bill of Rights, were based on the earlier Virginia Declaration of Rights, which Mason had drafted in 1776. Other states copied his bill of rights for their constitutions. And he was an elected man who did his time...and repeatedly just went HOME. Didn't crave power or public seat. Lesson to be learned, there.

@Buyakaasha Uhm, no.

@leftrightliars Here here! Agreed!

[PuddlesMcNiggley]

@grobo11 Yes! Good question!

[PuddlesMcNiggley]

@erato99 Yeah, we have been blessed by the fact we have not had someone like Jackson in office again. I tend to prefer my officials with homicidal proclivities to be elected once every hundred years. Doesn't always work out that way, it seems, but yes, we have not seen the like of Jackson for 166 years. That is a record to be recognized, if not proud of. The Supreme Court says "yipee!" So do a few brown people, damn them for still hanging around.

@erato99 What about Thomas Paine?

[leftrightliars]

We more or less have Madison to thank for what kinda of government we have not Adams.

@swainster1 You are a moron. Slavery was so common in the era that Jefferson acquired slaves via notes and debt. He could not set them free until he was free of debt, which he never was. He is the man who wanted to state in the declaration of independence about slavery being an atrocity. He succeeded in passing an act prohibiting the importation of slaves. In fact the slaves he did "own" he educated and well took care of them.

The man was a fucking saint, know a person before you criticize.

@swainster1 Thats funny, because he had no had in crafting it whatsoever. he didnt even vote on it. he was ambassador to france and then great britain at the time.
