@johncena69swag: I think that excuse is SO weak. For one, plenty of Founding Father values have been tossed aside. Not to mention their values and ideals have been twisted throughout time.
They pretty much thought you had to be a straight white male to own property.
They were all cool with slavery or at least did virtually nothing to stop it.
By today's standards they were all homophobes, racists, sexists, etc.
So yes, great thing they banded together in the name of liberty. We shouldn't modernize our way of thinking just because it's suggested they thought differently.
Here are some interesting reads on the awful things they've done
