Yup..I've been saying for years that the idea that we divide up our political ideology based on who sat where 200+ years ago in France is fucking ludicrous.
On top of it, as brilliant as the Founders were as a group, and they were, it doesn't overlook the fact that they were confronting the issues of their day, using, for what for them was modern & cutting edge concepts of governance. The fact that some today insist on using 18th century concepts to solve 21st century problems (I'm looking at you Scalia) seems to fly in the face of what the Founders were attempting to accomplish, in both method and spirit.
