I often wonder whether our Founding Fathers would be more
horrified, or sanguine, about the way the world is, now.

I think it would depend on what they were looking at. Foreign politics would probably delight them. US domestic politics, they'd be horrified. Probably the biggest single thing they'd be horrified by would be the stranglehold large corporations have over the government and the culture. #2 on the list would be the issues with the separation of church and state.

'Course, if you explained to them about the World Wars, they'd probably keel over...

The question presupposes a common fallacy: That the founding fathers would be of one opinion. I seriously doubt you could find many issues that they all were in agreement on.
