I thought America (i.e., the USA) was founded by LEFT-wing extremists. They were essentially LIBERTARIANS. At least Jefferson was. Everyone other than Hamilton and the Federalists. The Anit-Federalist definitely were LEFT.
imho
The problem is that Democrats have forgotten they are the party of civil liberties and the Republicans have forgotten they are the party of smaller government.
Too bad, Mister Jefferson, it was a nice try. And, too bad, Mister Franklin, we couldn’t keep it.
