I am admittedly not very familiar with the Founding Fathers. This piece here tries to vindicate them, so do you guys agree with what they say?

Judging people based on today's standards is moronic. They lived in a different time. If they helped move society in the right direction, they should be honored. Lots of people doing the bashing sound like people who would have done much worse if born during past era.

EDIT: Actually I think that the most judgmental people are the ones usually doing the worse harm to others.

For their time, most of them were considered progressive.

By modern standards, they might be judged very harshly. Yes, slavery is considered barbaric today. 300 years ago, everyplace on earth considered it normal.

In the future, the people of 2050 might very well curse the people of today for eating meat, mass-incarceration and owning pets.

Historical things ought to be seen as a product of their time. Judging the ideas of 300 years ago by today's standards is demanding very much from people in the past.

I'm not sure if it's accurate history or not but they are presented as not trusting government and that is 100% the way people should view the government. If only you could get people to understand this life would almost instantly dramatically improve.
