Ron Paul Speaks a lot about the Constitution and the founding fathers you've got to be kidding the founding fathers were Zionists. John Adams wrote about how he dreamed that one day the Jews would return to their homeland. They were Zionists many of the founding fathers were learning Hebrew because they greatly admired the Jews. George Washington welcomed the first Synagogue in Newport, Rhode Island and spoke of his great admiration for the Jewish people. You think he would be involved with scum like Ron Paul and the Human Excrement that is part of his campaign? The Founding Fathers Detested Cowards and traitors like Ron Paul. The Founding Fathers and the people who framed the great constitution of the United States of America did not tolerate for one minute anyone attacking this country they did say to avoid foreign entanglements yes. Foreign entanglements that are not necessary, but when American is under assault by people that want to exterminate us just because we are not Muslim. And that is what they say they say that they want to exterminate us just because we are not Muslim. They say that the whole world has to become Muslim. Ron Paul keeps saying read the constitution Ron Paul has never read his Bible or his Koran. He should read the Koran and see why are enemies really want to attack us. Ron Paul is an evil person he hates the Jews and Israel he wants them to go down and his whole attitude is just disgusting and evil and immoral. The founding father and the people who gave us the constitution always defended America and her interests and never hesitated to do so when America was in danger. Ron Paul and his followers are a sick malevolent tumor in the American Political purposes. They must be resisted and opposed. Thankfully Ron Paul has no chance of getting elected no chance of getting anywhere, but still he represents an evil phenomenon. We as moral decent bible believing Jews and Christians decent people we have to speak out and we have to condemn evil wherever it is and Ron Paul and his campaign represent evil
I am quoting Chaim Ben Pesach
They didn't sound like they were zionist supporters to me. Sounds like they were against religion being part of the country whatsoever.
http://chicora.org/founding_fathers_and_religion.htmWarning, this link is provided by Atheist alliance so it does have a slant on their view of religion but contains quotes from the founding fathers in regards to their views on religion Explore what some of the founding fathers had to say about religious persecution and, especially, religious freedom:
I have examined all the known superstitions of the World, and I do not find in our particular superstition of Christianity one redeeming feature. They are all alike, founded on fables and mythology. Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined and imprisoned. What has been the effect of this coercion? To make one half the world fools and the other half hypocrites; to support roguery and error all over the world . . . . The clergy converted the simple teachings of Jesus into an engine for enslaving mankind . . . to filch wealth and power to themselves. [They], in fact, constitute the real Anti-Christ.
Thomas Jefferson
It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no G-d.
Thomas Jefferson
Question with boldness even the existence of a G-d; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear.
Thomas Jefferson
I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish Church, by the Roman Church, by the Greek Church, by the Turkish Church, by the Protestant Church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church.
Thomas Paine
My country is the world, and my religion is to do good.
Thomas Paine
Persecution is not an original feature in any religion; but it is always the strongly marked feature of all religions established by law.
Thomas Paine
Of all the animosities which have existed among mankind, those which are caused by difference of sentiments in religion appear to be the most inveterate and distressing, and ought most to be deprecated. I was in hopes that the enlightened and liberal policy, which has marked the present age, would at least have reconciled Christians of every denomination so far that we should never again see the religious disputes carried to such a pitch as to endanger the peace of society.
George Washington
. . . the path of true piety is so plain as to require but little political direction.
George Washington, 1789, responding to clergy complaints that the Constitution lacked mention of Jesus Christ
If they are good workmen, they may be from Asia, Africa or Europe; they may be Mahometans [Muslims, followers of the Prophet Mohammed], Jews, Christians of any sect, or they may be Atheists....
George Washington, to Tench Tighman, March 24, 1784, when asked what type of workman to get for Mount Vernon
. . . I beg you be persuaded that no one would be more zealous than myself to establish effectual barriers against the horrors of spiritual tyranny, and every species of religious persecution.
George Washington, to United Baptists Churches of Virginia, May, 1789
All possess alike liberty of conscience and immunities of citizenship. It is now no more that toleration is spoken of as if it was by the indulgence of one class of people, that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights. For happily the government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection should demean [conduct] themselves as good citizens, in giving it on all occasions their effectual support.
George Washington
When a religion is good, I conceive it will support itself; and when it does not support itself, and G-d does not take care to support it so that its professors are obliged to call for help of the civil power, 'tis a sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad one.
Benjamin Franklin
These quote suggest that many of our Founding Fathers were skeptical of organized religion and felt there was no place in our secular government for any specific religion. Here are a couple of web sites that will provide more information:
www.freedomhouse.org/religionwww.religioustolerance.orgHowever the founding fathers were not anti-semitic, there have been some forged quotes on neo nazi sites that have been debunked by historians.
In fact, in 1790 Washington sent a letter to the Jewish community in Rhode Island, writing that he envisioned a country "which gives bigotry no sanction ... persecution no assistance". For the first time in modern history, Jews lived in a country where they enjoyed full and equal human and political rights - as a birthright of citizenship
