  3.  @PWRR  Oh, how well I know. We're still in a battle between what's left of Jeffersonian Republicanism, which equates to freedom, and Hamiltonian Federalism, which equates to big brother government. I've always wondered where the leftists, in both parties, came up with "orange man." Orange was the color selected by the "Old Republicans" led by Rep. John Randolph of Roanoke, who split with Jefferson and Madison after they started to side more with the Federalists. Jackson was who Randolph supported, and he was the same president that 45 did as well. Randolph described Old Republican values as: “love of peace, hatred of offensive war, jealousy of the state governments toward the general government, a dread of standing armies, a loathing of public debts, taxes, and excises; tenderness for the liberty of the citizen; jealousy, Argus-eyed jealousy of the patronage of the President.” I might not agree with everything Randolph believed, such as elitism, but the words in that quotation, I do believe in. Of course, many that came from Britain (Virginias' First Families) were elitists during that time. There's a good book on this, titled: The Roots of American Communism, by Draper. It explains what occurred, going back to the many German emigrants that flooded in during the 1800s. There are many others as well, which tell of Leon Trotsky, the Christian Socialists, their collegiate ties, the Rand School of Social Science, and how the infection began. The history of the "bad bishop" William Montgomery Brown is very telling.
