One is the emphasis upon strong states rights and weak federal powers. I agree. On such divisive issues as gay marriage, abortion, mercy killing, etc., why not defer to the individual states? Wouldn't the average Democrat of today say such would favor the rich and disfavor the poor? I also like the idea of very little federal connection with other governments. Free trade, yes. But little else. My goodness, but Jefferson would be astounded at what goes on, internationally, in the name of Democrats and Republicans. Interesting. I understand Jefferson was very unpopular during his presidency. True? posted by: tfruge1 (reply) post date: 06.07.07 (7:51 am) Reply to: PastorDave I hope this is what you were looking for. Info was difficult to find but what I did find was very interesting. I will make a post about the Republican Party today and the Bill of rights on Friday. In my opinion, the founding fathers and all of the formers to the party's would be greatly disappointed in how their party's have evolved. Both of them are far from their roots and have changed dramatically. |
