Brilliant yet themselves flawed. They had the capacity to understand this and hence the amendment process written into our Constitution. <br /><br />Undoubtedly the Founding Fathers would have problems with the Tea Party mentality.

Meanwhile they will go on about schools "brainwashing".<br /><br />In other news, Ben Carson gave his history of the Egyptian pyramids:<br /><br />"... And when you look at the way that the pyramids are made, with many chambers that are hermetically sealed, they’d have to be that way for various reasons," he(Carson) said. "And various of scientists have said, 'well, you know there were alien beings that came down and they have special knowledge and that’s how.' You know, it doesn’t require an alien being when God is with you."<br /><br />He is a candidate for the presidency.Ducky's herehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608115001116619877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-51084016444615244482015-11-05T09:41:59.217-05:002015-11-05T09:41:59.217-05:00"...is it not sensible to understand where we..."...is it not sensible to understand where we can improve and why we should so that we become even better nation."<br /><br />President Obama similarly stated this when he talked of America becoming a "more perfect union." That's in the preamble to our Constitution. Even our Founding Fathers knew we were not a "perfect" nation, but to move toward becoming better is a noble goal. And how will we know we are trying for a "more perfect union" unless we understand our mistakes?<br /><br />The people who will not tolerate American history that documents the good AND the bad are like immature children who will not acknowledge that their parents -- whom they love -- can make mistakes.Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-69918844190170058622015-11-05T08:35:36.385-05:002015-11-05T08:35:36.385-05:00Regardless of how good we are (America), and Ameri...Regardless of how good we are (America), and America is inded good, is it not sensible to understand where we can improve and why we should so that we become even <br />better nation.<br /><br />America should be happy with, but never satisfied in its pursuit for being right and good.
