Since they seemed OK with slavery (and thereby the torturing of African Americans after they tried to run away) then we should not turn to them when deciding what our standards should be.
However, I did find it ridiculous when someone tried to claim that the founding fathers would have been respectful of the rights of muslim terrorists. I think that is absurd.
My position never changed. You just weren't paying attention.
