Re: ORIGINAL FOUNDING FATHERS. They had quite different views on these issues. Adams and Jefferson were completely at odds over the Alien and Sedition Acts, for example. Similar to some of the arguments being debated still today. I don't think the argument between liberty and security will ever be decided once and for all - which is probably good. In effect, I think that's the difference between,say, Kerry and Bush. Both originally supported the Patriot Act. Basically though not this simply, one believes the danger to security that prompted the act is still here, one doesn't.
