Which one AV - the actions of FDR or whether JQA could be considered as one of the founders. Personally I don't think my viewpoint is clouded on either one given the facts of history, but it would be nice to know which one you are taking issue with.AspenValley wrote:

If Obama instead of Bachman had tried to claim John Quincy as a "founding father" you'd have been passionate in your riducule of the idea.
I'm sorry, but your partisanship is obviously clouding your viewpoint on this one.

So let me see if I have this straight. John Jay, despite not having been part of constructing either the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution is a founding father, but JQA is not because he didn't either. Have I got that right?AspenValley wrote:

He's certainly an important figure in early American history, but that doesn't make him a Founding Father.
