Among the "principles" you extoll was the restriction of suffrage to 
white, male, land owners.  I believe that most would agree that our 
nation's level of consciousness has evolved for the better in the last 
300 years. 

Nonetheless, Dennis is absolutely correct--this forum is not an 
appropriate forum to espouse your political & religious beliefs.  Please 
take your soapbox to some other location.
