Your argument is a straw man. Given the conspiracy theory overtones in it, your argument couldn't be anything but a strawman, because that's what you believe in.
Not only are those laughable black helicopter overtones in your argument, but you've also contradicted your own points and ideology on several occasions, deifying the founders when convenient and trashing them when convenient. You've also ignored the principal founders who supported a standing army (Madison, Hamilton and Washington). You throw your weight behind Jefferson, who was not a founder of the Constitution and was in Europe at the time of the Constitutional Convention. You do not have an argument here. Just the remains of an out house after it's been hit by a smart bomb.
