Quote:Rick Santorum: Founding fathers had right idea limiting those who could vote
Quote:At the time of the first U.S. Elections, only white men with property could vote.
Our founders were people of the time, however much we may deify them. Democracy evolves as our judgment of social justice issues improves. They were escaping royalty, aristocracy and sectarian oppression and doing well to set the stage for the future as they did. Our founders could be excused for not being so ahead of their time as to fully comprehend our modern understanding of democracy, equality and fairness.
Rick Santorum has no such excuse.
I've posted before that I believe The American Revolution is an ongoing struggle. Abolition, suffrage and desegregation were all battles in this larger war. The so-called "Tea Party" is ironically a bit more like the reactionary Tories (or, more aptly, Confederates) clinging to older, outdated and unjust ways.
