That would have had to have been about their 15th beer to make a toast to Nancy and her band of misfits.

Ummm...going to have to doubt that one my friend. Speaking from a complete detached perspective as a historian...I'm willing to go along with a few "learned" 18th Century white guys applauding the eventual abolition of slavery (albeit at a later date that didn't impact their bottom lines), and perhaps even universal suffrage (again, once it was pretty much a forgone conclusion)...a female member of Congress ? Probably not.

We can, and should challenge some of their views as time moves forward...they did provide, willingly or unwittingly, the means to do so and maintain civil government. However, it's a fallacy to believe that whether we're discussing the current attitudes on LGBT "lifestyles", the nature of "semi-automatic rifles" under the 2A, or the conflict between the Speaker and the President...that these men would be anything other than utterly confused regarding our present mindsets and the debates precipitated by them.

Order has to be maintained.
