If Democrats want to hand Trump another term, I can think of no better way than dishonoring George Washington. No one is asking you to feel happy that most of your fellow Americans revere George Washington, but only to accept the political reality of it. We have an election to win.

Reddit also banned leftist rabble-rousers ChapoTrapHouse. Whither the 1st Amendment?  I have read vile defamations of George Washington online, some deeply hurtful to me, but I would never demand they be censored.

The people who laughed at Trump when he said anarchists would end up tearing down statues of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, are now pretty silent.

Your comment is not without merit, but I will not litigate its rectitude here. I will say only that if the 2020 election becomes a referendum on George Washington, whichever party sides with George Washington will win.

People may dislike the confederates or NGAF, but they sure as fuck care about the Presidents.

George Washington.

Professor Jonathan Turley of George Washington University reports that a campus bust of George Washington was toppled from its pedestal by vandals. We Democrats will be on the wrong side of public opinion if we align ourselves with such miscreants. Do we want to hand Trump another term?

Do Democrats want to lose?

Lines must be drawn before this anti-statue mania gets out of control. I fear the political backlash if statues of George Washington are assailed. American voters will not tolerate it. They will blame us Democrats and punish us at the ballot box. It would be politically shrewd for us Democrats to express our…

I’d rather hear George Washington. He spoke with a soft voice but his words were powerful, the opposite of Obama.

The patriarchal nature of early American society in no way invalidates the greatness of George Washington and the other white male patriots who founded our great nation.

Farewell, Splinter!

Thomas Jefferson once referred to George Washington as “the best horseman of his age, and the most graceful figure that could be seen on horseback.”

Mt. Vernon sits well above sea level on a high ridge. The sea may backflood into the Potomac and destroy many adjacent settlements, but Mt. Vernon will remain unharmed.

I would submit to you that the urgency is greater than in Revere’s day.

America is at war with Russia. Our situation is entirely analogous to Paul Revere’s in 1775. The urgency is no less. When we hear of Russians, we must take to horse. There is no time to wait for a second lantern signal.

A President should never lie.

I would remind Lawrence O’Donnell and any other journalist that Paul Revere didn’t wait for multiple sources before he took to horse to warn his fellow Americans of invading redcoats. Having received the news via a lantern signal, he acted promptly, as any real man and patriot would have. There is no need to…

Respect for the flag is respect for George Washington, which is by far the best reason to honor the flag.

Un-British is a good thing. George Washington fought a war to make America un-British. I’m glad he won.  Aren’t you?
