I keep hearing people like Michele Bachman saying that we want a country along the lines of what the Founding Fathers wanted and NOT a country like you'd find in Europe, but ACTUALLY our Founding Fathers were a heck of a lot more like current day Europeans than they are like what you'd find in rural America.
No way. Europe is socialist. The founding fathers were complete capitalists. Not even a safety net. Except perhaps you would be fed in debtors prison.

On the negative side, they were racists, and homophobes. But then everybody was back then.
