Opinion of "Founding Fathers"

[Pyro]

It's such an overused phrase that it's easy to miss how creepy it sounds.

[OSR stands with Israel]

Massive FF

[This user has not been convicted of 34 felonies]

I prefer Dominating Daddies

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

The phrase is annoying, but the people themselves were (mostly) freedom fighters.

The fact that the phrase is overused is definitely annoying but I don't believe that said annoyance reflects negatively on the phrase itself.

As for the Founders themselves, yeah, (mostly) FF's.

[Leinad]

Horrible phrase.

The people were mostly good (for their time at least), although it's annoying how they're often used to support status-quo and/or simply bad positions.

[Goldwater]

It's a bit weird when someone invokes the Founding Fathers to justify their opinion, since that group contains a large amount of people with varying opinions and philosophies.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

HP, slave owners who kept the majority of the wealth to themselves

[Antonio the Sixth]

Annoying phrase in that it's often used improperly to refer to the Framers, who were largely a different group from the actual Founding Fathers and had very different political views and priorities.

Agreed.

Though I'd say as a group they were good.

[Statilius the Epicurean]

Thomas Paine was a massive FF. The rest don't deserve the acronym but they were better than the British Empire they defeated. No opinion on the phrase.
