Both old versions are accepted... read YOUR links.
Pretty sure my links say "All three are standard". Which means you're wrong. Again.

You should really stop posting but you'll come back again because you think there's some semblance of face left to save.

I don't know who said what, but is someone really trying to claim the phrase "you should try graduating it." is grammatically correct.

Only way that would make sense is if the person you are talking to is the principal of a school and the word "it" represents a person.

You're wrong and using the notion of "liberalism" incorrectly. What it meant to be liberal in the 1700s is drastically different than the modern day usage of the term. Modern day "liberals" in no way resemble liberals of the past.

Edit - I probably should have read past the first page and realized other people mentioned this as well. Regardless, liberalism has some how morphed over the ages into this all encompassing word that includes issues that really in no way relate to the word which the term is derived from... liberty.

Why were so many Founding Fathers socialists?

The founding fathers were anything but socialist. While they may have had some ideas that today could be considered socialist, they in no way envisioned a large central government providing for the needs of the people. They believed in liberty, and the power of the people to govern themselves. I mean, look at the function of the federal government back then. Nothing was centralized and in fact, state governments wielded far more power and responsibility than the federal government.

If you think having a few socialist ideas in a time of radical political evolution makes someone a devout socialist, you're on drugs.

HAHA @ Potus circular logic

By the way, life expectancy was lower than social security collection age when it was passed in 1935. It was designed to pay out 0 basically. As life expectancy increased, it became a ponzi scheme by default. To accomplish social security's original intent, you would have to raise retirement age to 75+

This was true while the Articles of Confederation were being used. All before the Constitution was drafted and accepted, which made this awful, terrible, horrible, big, centralized, federal government that everyone is certain the founding fathers seemed to hate...
