For owning slaves
For their support of anthem protests
For providing quotes that Roy Moore can use to advance his political career
For fearing that the electoral college would lead to only a few states deciding a presidential election
For reducing corruption by establishing a balanced government
For fighting a revolution based on moral values
For their love of beer
For bringing “the understanding and reality of life” to government
For establishing a stable democracy
For “kneeling” during the playing of “God Bless the King” in 1776
For believing that God was offended by sin
For sacrificing their lives for the cause of independence
For believing in “robust, open debate”
For there “aversion to weaponry”
And we could go on. The Founders are invoked every day. Isn’t it time we invest in American history so that when we do invoke the Founders we do so responsibly?
