Why we honor George Washington

Why we honor George Washington. “George Washington was the man who established the American republic. He led the revolutionary army against the British Empire, he served as the first president, and most importantly he stepped down from power.” That last one is astonishing, espeically considering the pants-load of self-righteous statists and do-gooding crypto-fascists we have today. Please God, send us more George Washingtons! BTW, his actual birthday is Feb 22.

  • “Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.”

    - George Washington

    If everyone really, truly understood that on a conceptual level - I mean on the same level as water running downhill - we wouldn't have 10% of the problems we now have.

    And I especially mean the "irresponsible action" part.

  • Christ is at the Right Hand of God.
    Simon Peter, The Rock is at the Left Hand of God
    and to Peter's left is George Washington

  • Zero the hero vs. George Washington. -- wink , wink

    George Washington was the man who established the American republic . Zero the hero thought " To hell with the American republic , we need something that reminds ME of the Marxist ideology that I greatly love " we need Czars that " I " will appoint as they will do my bidding " .

    George led the revolutionary army against the British Empire . Zero the hero , led the first morally deprived , intellectually diverse ( mostly not ) army to attempt to overthrow THIS Constitutional Republic that George Washington established .

    George Washington was the first president that real Americans are proud of . Zero the hero was the first prez that Michelle , perverts , criminals , Oblivious , Orcs and the vast hoards of the Pagan Left , were ever proud of .

    The only thing that George Washington and Zero the hero had in common , was that neither had a real birth certificate .
