Would they have approved systemic institutionalized torture?

Yup. In fact they did. We have never had a President so squishy as we have now.
It really amazes me when the left tries to use the founding fathers to support one of their arguments. The ideologies between the Left and the those of the founders could not be more opposite.
You do know that the least a "outed" gay dude in the times of the founding fathers could expect in punishment was to have boiling tar poured over them and then feathered. Then placed in stocks and ridiculed in a public square. That would have been considered lenient.
By all means, let's start looking back to those principles. Hmmm?
Frankly I feel that our tolerance of trolls and dissenters is what separates us from the left.

No. Tolerance is the left.
The line between intellectual discourse and pointless trolling has been crossed so many times already. And it's a big broad line at that.
Tolerance is what keeps us divided. To put up with crap in the name of tolerance is what got us into this mess. There comes a point where you make a stand. This far and no more.
Tolerance will get you gay marriages, Presidential bowing before Islamic Kings, trillion dollar deficits and countless capitulations that further weaken our country and economy.
Tolerance will get you killed on a battlefield and tolerance will destroy the country if left unchecked.
This whole country was founded on the Principles of intolerance. I'm hanging on to those values.
F**k tolerance. It way too expensive and way over rated.

Are you talking about the same founders who hanged Muslim pirates without trials?

It's bad enough that trolls are allowed to stay and screw up the site. Now we have trolls running the blog too.
