Fox News celebrated the Fourth of July weekend with an interview with one of America’s Founding Fathers.
Anchors Gregg Jarrett and Molly Line held court with “Benjamin Franklin” and “Betsy Ross,” credited with stitching the first American flag.
Despite the passage of time, “Franklin” had a couple of observations about the world today:
- “I am amazed and delighted that the Constitution which we crafted so many years ago is still in force. It’s not perfect, it never will be, we’re all humans, but I think it’s nearly perfect as we could have gotten it and I think you all have done a wonderful job with it.”
And his advice for politicians today:
- “My advice personally would be to not worry always about your agenda. We did what we did especially with the Constitution by being able to compromise. And I know that’s a dirty word to some people, but you don’t have to compromise your values, you don’t have to compromise your standards. I always approached things as if I did not have an agenda, I had a goal. And there are many ways of meeting a goal. So that’s the best advice I could give to anyone who is trying to accomplish anything is, be open to ideas and open your mind a bit.”
