Were the Founding Fathers Conservatives, Libertarians or Liberals?

Liberal by definition.

con·serv·a·tive [kuhn-sur-vuh-tiv] adjective
1.  disposed to preserve existing conditions, institutions, etc., or to restore traditional ones, and to limit change.


I don't see how conservative describes ANYTHING that went on in 1776.

Are we talking about what they were for the 18th century, or what they'd be considered now?

Just about everyone back then would probably be considered "very conservative" in today's world.

By which you mean complete barbarians.  Half of them owned slaves.  All of them didn't think women had the right to self determination.

If you judged them by today's standards you would think they were the most despicable people you ever met.

No I think its better to leave them in the past and call them liberal.
