    Let's take a look at your previous post. You specifically said:

    And yet you went on to evoke the Founding Fathers:

    Had you bothered to read "each of the links" provided, you would have realized that Alexander Hamilton - you know, one of those Founding Fathers you referred to - wrote Federalist No. 68 (i.e., the first link), the seminal essay which strongly supports and outlines the function and intent of the Electoral College.

    So your argument, that "each of the links" I provided reeks of tyranny, is the argument of an unread blathering idiot.

    Wasn't commenting on the Federalist Paper (.gov) link...that's a given..

    Majority of the linked articles below were written by leftist….Leftest like to site Alexander Hamilton as a progressive which is not the case...Alexander Hamilton was a true patriot....not a statist...

    "Each of the links that lady dagga sent reeks of tyranny." is a far cry from "Wasn't commenting on the Federalist Paper (.gov) link...that's a given". Deal with it.

    Nonsense. Hamilton was most certainly a statist (Federalist), favoring a strong federal government, particularly in matters of finance and commerce. He was at great political odds with another Founding Father, Thomas Jefferson, when it came to matters such as the national bank, foreign policy, and states-vs-centralist power.

    No one in their right mind would argue that the Founding Fathers were anything but patriots, despite the fact - and in spite of what certain idiots here would have you believe - that they had major opposing viewpoints when it came to the governing of our nation. However, any arguments as to whether Hamilton was a progressive or not are ridiculous, as the term would have had a completely different meaning in their time.

    I rest my case...you are not a Constitutionalist or a constitutional conservative or libertarian....you’re a progressive...it's very apparent....:)
    You have your views, which is your right....

    …but I am glad we have a chance to reverse many of damages Obama he has done…we have a long way to go to getting back to being a republic again…Hillary would of have been a nail in the coffin…..Thank God she lost…..

    You've made no case whatsoever - certainly not based on anything I've posted up to this point. The information I provided about Hamilton is common knowledge and agreed upon by both modern conservatives and liberals alike. The subsequent articles I linked to reflect Hamilton's own words as to the true intent of the Electoral College.

    It is your own narrow-minded political thinking which has brought you to your incorrect assumptions; assumptions which would have easily been dispelled had you bothered with the simplest of tasks. However, since you've demonstrated that you are still incapable of even the most basic reading, allow me to clarify: on some issues I am progressive, on others I am conservative, and on yet others I am centrist. I've never claimed to be a constitutionalist, libertarian, progressive, or "constitutional conservative" (the most laughable label of them all, as I have pointed out in previous posts).

    Spare us the hyperbole - there is no great damage wrought upon the land, nor some dramatic reversal to be had by the grace of God. The changes we will see will be a matter of mere degrees. You speak of the republic as if it were some sacred chalice lost to the ages and destined to be rediscovered by Americans on some noble quest. Please. We've never stopped living in a republic, and for better or worse, that was demonstrated in this last election.

    You lost the argument some time ago....... But to put it bluntly you really lost it when you said this.....

    "Nonsense. Hamilton was most certainly a statist (Federalist), favoring a strong federal government, particularly in matters of finance and commerce. He was at great political odds with another Founding Father, Thomas Jefferson, when it came to matters such as the national bank, foreign policy, and states-vs-centralist power".

    Note: Definition
    Statism - Wikipedia
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statism
    In political science, statism is the belief that the state should control either economic or social ... to ensure the success of a socialist revolution. It is usually used in reference to Marxist-Leninist socialists who champion a single-party state.




    Plus the links you sent were from profoundly socialists in nature. Marxist-Leninist = end result communism.... (obviously exclude the .gov link on Hamilton).

    You don't have to be rock scientist to figure that out.... You may want to review all the links you sent again....but not sure if you actually read them...sounds like you have profound commie tendency....

    I would say those are anti-republic beliefs.....
