This is the crux of the issue. If we do not venerate the founders, then our entire system of government is thrown into question, and we can't have that, now can we? I never met Washington or Jefferson or Adams or Franklin. I don't know if they were good men or not. I know what has been written about their victory by a worshipful society.
