In the conservative spirit of William F. Buckley asserting that “gratitude” for our national blessings should be a year-round and lifelong attitude, not just an afterthought while eating turkey, please accept this day-after-Thanksgiving appreciation.

The thanks go to the group of people collectively known as the “founders” or “framers,” who have come under cultural assault from a wretchedly ungrateful political Left. The Left condemns them via bizarrely “woke” modern standards without crediting them for how far they moved human affairs — from where they found those affairs toward greater liberty and human rights.
