An antiwar speech gets a 10 year sentence. I don't think that's what our
forefathers intended.


I believe we should really stop and think before we continue down this
path to be sure it's what we want or need. If we choose to go this
way, it will be forever the end of the nation that our forefathers
envisioned.

Nothing for nothing, but I don't see any references to capitalism in the
Constitution. Private property, yes, but free markets and capitalism
weren't invented yet. So, just how do you know what our forefathers
envisioned.


While there were not completely free markets in reference to trade
between countries. It was common to have tariffs on certain items, and
to limit who could import and/or sell certain items, free market pricing
on the majority of items and capitalism absolutely did exist well before
the revolution.
