You go back in time and kidnap a Founding Father...and poof!
« on: October 16, 2012, 05:31:41 PM »
You both are transported back to 2012.

The Founding Father just assumes he woke up in a barn circa 1776.

Once you two exit this barn it is the modern world.

What do you tell this Founding Father to mentally prepare him for 2012?

Hand him an M4 with a happy switch and let him know that things have changed and we're still at war!

Then find him a pint of grogg...

It would depend on the founding father, but I would start by giving him a Glock, and a case of Miller lite and telling him that everything that involves principle is as watered down as the beer, and everything that involves mechanics has been greatly improved.
Then, if it were Madison or Adams we'd head for Congress so he could hear the dogs yap, if it were Jefferson, I'd take him through the Smithsonian, if it were Franklin we'd head for a strip joint then the museum.  ;D

Toss in a box of handkerchiefs.  I doubt any of the Founding Fathers will be able to look at what government has become and what they wrought to the Constitution with a dry eye.

How many of their friends and family died to make this country what it was.....

Don't know what I'd say if he asked why I (we) let it happen.

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

That's why I'd give them the Glock, hell, if John Adams caps them it MUST be OK , right ?

Well, first we'd leave the barn and I'd show him that the cows are the same but the horses (my pickup) is different. Then, if it was George Washington, I'd show him my CVA Mountain Rifle (muzzle loader for you AR/M16 freaks) and say: "Bet you haven't seen one like this before!" But, if it was Ben Franklin, I'd ask him a question: "Did you really say 'Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch...Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote'?" If he says yes, then we'd sit a spell and have a Flying Dog while chewing the fat.

He would already know "Power Corrupts..." That is why they built the Constitution the way they did, to check human nature.

I would talk physics if was Franklin or Jefferson, they would love the brain stretching ideas in relativity.
