For their ability to carry a tune
For not “envisioning career politicians”
For having tensions with the free press
For believing in the right to bear arms
For not making racist, bigoted, and depressing remarks
For supporting and “educational vision” centered on “local control.”
For having their pictures replaced by pictures of football players
For making sure we were a republic and not a democracy
For writing a Constitution that distributed power between the states and the federal gvoernment
For respecting the rights of conscience
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?
