Starting Out

Would the Founding Fathers have been proud of their accomplishments in creating a form of government widely recognized as highly effective in providing for the well-being of its citizens?  Or would they have been appalled at the inefficient partisan ineffectivity and the gargantuanousity of the resulting government.  No doubt they would have been quite surprised at some of today’s functions of government.  No doubt they would also have been pleased at the far-sightedness they exhibited in their structuring of the government.
Suspending disbelief, this blog imagines the Founding Fathers brought forward to today and given full understanding of today’s society, technology and government.  It then asks them to revise the US Constitution to reflect their original intent for the nation.  Most of the blog is discussion or insights that many of the original drafters of the Constitution might have today.  The last section will be the revised draft Constitution that they would propose. 
Is this a blog of total fiction?  Certainly the idea of the Founding Fathers being transported forward over 200 years in time is science fiction.  The discussions and comments of the Founding Fathers, while based in fact, are also fiction.  All cited statistics are from published reputable sources and are as accurate as those sources, mostly the US Government.  Analysis and opinions are the author’s based on many years of being part of and observing the government.  While there might not be something in this blog for everyone to love, there is most certainly something for any individual to hate.  Consider this an attempt at equal pain for all, consistent with the views of our Founding Fathers.
For awhile the blog will focus on one Founding Father and view the situation through his eyes.  As in many ways, George Washington will be first.
