the original intent of the Founding Fathers

So you want to go back to the original intent of the Founding Fathers like the “Originalists” want?

Then you want to go back to a country where…

• Only free white men who owned property could vote.
• Slavery was legal in all states, but one
• The Senate was not elected by the People.
• The Electoral College was solely responsible for choosing the president.
• There was no Air Force.
• There was no standing army.
• The Navy was made up primarily of privateers.
• There were only thirteen states.
• The United States ended at the Mississippi River.
• Women had no rights.
• The state militias (National Guard) would not cross state lines.
• There was no restriction on immigration.
• Spain owned Florida, Texas and much of the Gulf Coast.
• New York was the capital.

Oh, I guess that’s not what you meant?  Well, I hope your flintlock musket protects you!
