I believe they are currently spinning like lathes in their graves over the atrocities committed by Bush against our Constitution.

No Morals.
No Courage.
No Intellect.
No Patriotism.
No Common Sense.
No Chance.
".....Sir, we are not weak, if we make a proper use of the means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. Three millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us.
The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable -- and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come!
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, "Peace! Peace!" -- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!"

They would be shocked and very disapointed in us overall. George Washington would wonder why we don't attack the terrorists more agressively. Thomas Jefferson would be dismayed at the conditions of our public schools, especially the poor quality of the math and science programs. Benjamin Franklin would have a thing or two to say about our poor foreign policy of the last many years. He would also not be impressed at the way countries like Japan are starting to out compete us when it comes to innovation. Patrick Henry would demand that we make our military stronger and also ask why we are holding back on fighting our enemies. Many of them would be livid at what we have done to the Constitution they wrote and especially the strange ways judges have been interpreting it. Some of them would demand that the laws we've passed restricting gun ownership and usage be repealed. All of them would be furious about legal abortion. etc etc.

They would say that the average person is taxed more and has less representation than the colonists did under King George. Then they'd want to kick all corporate lobbyists out of Washington.

Probably that George Bush has abused his position which is not in the spirit of the Constitution, that religious freedom for which settlers had come to the US in the first place was a joke, and "What is an iPod?"

You might want to look again at what they said about their government then. Especially the part about it being the duty of the citzen to revolt and rebel against an oppressive government.

Ben Franklin would say now what he said over 200 years ago. "Those that would give up liberty for security deserve neither.".

they would probably wonder at the intelligence of the opposition party for the way they're opposing the President
