Too much mean-spirited stuff.

Seems to me that the USA was founded on a mean-spirited premise. By mean-spirited politicians. Think about it. The fact that many of 'em were slave owners. Including George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Yes, our founders thought that slavery was all right. Imagine that. I'd not call that the best moral foundation for America. Instead, it was immoral as immoral could be. Our founders even declared that the slaves were only three-fifths human. Demeaning and mean-spirited, isn't it? Our pious founders also claimed that all men were created equal. But they didn't believe it. Never practiced what they proclaimed. Another thing, they didn't consider women as equals to men. Many modern-day mean-spirited American male politicians still treat women as inferior. In keeping with the tradition established by mean-spirited founders. Won't deny that our founders did some mighty good things. But still, they perpetrated far too much mean-spirited stuff. --Jim Broede
