Well, I don't recognize the man on the right in the drawing, but the others were liberals, not conservatives in any way, shape, or form.
Jefferson, was in fact a founder and key proponent of what became the Democrat Party, which would have been similar to today's Libertarian Party. Franklin was unafiliated as far as I know, but was certainly no conservative. Washington was a federalist, and could be thought of as a lineal antecedant of the modern left wing in the sense that he favored a centralized state, but to a much lesser extent than did his young friend, Alexander Hamilton.
Come back to me when you know more history, it's pretty obvious that you know nothing of the founders of the country.
