What a true patriot sounds like

“However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.”
― George Washington

The point in the end is...you cant do sh## about it. Corruption will always exist. Its the builtin failsafe

Oh...and cudos for GW...for stating the obvious. Few centuries down the line...nothing has changed in that regard.

George Washington is a freaking white male!

He is the epitome of the white patriarchy!

All of his portraits, statues and monuments will be destroyed!

RRRRREEEEEEEEeeeeee!

George Washington was a true Alpha male. You get that Les?

So political parties can be used as a framework by bad people to gain power over the masses?
As another poster said, way to state the obvious GW, got any more groundbreaking news?
SMH.

Ah, what a wonderfully apt quote. Very perceptive and all too true these days.

I have a problem with the words George Washington and Patriot going together.

Washington was a Colonel in The British Army. He showed no patriotism toward Britain. In fact he was a traitor.

Agreed, a traitor to Britain, but a patriot to the US.
Perspective matters with GW.

"By George we did it!"

There's a reason that saying exists. If it wasn't for his Patriotism, we wouldn't have a country.

People were genuinely surprised we won. It was an amazing win.

You're wrong actually.

In 16th Century England the saying " By God We Did It " was deemed blasphemous.

So it was changed to " By George We Did It "

Exactly.

Washington was a patriot when it suited him.

He got his arse in his hand when he was refused a full commission in The British Army.

So, "By hook or by crook" must be a saying inspired by Hillary then?

There it is - a thread about George Washington where 'someone' brings up 'Trumpkins'.......didn't take long.

Some on ATS - you never, ever, fail me (too).

Clean up your own backyard before criticizing anyone elses.

*Coughs* This thread obviously came to be because of Trump's alleged patriotism and alpha maleness.

Britain is one of the worst countries to ever exist in this world when it comes to pure corruption and absolute insanity they take the cake, spreading their genocide around the world. Royalty is a concept that has no place in an educated world, the only people who bow are slaves.

That is without seriously analyzing the "royal" family and their connections to the infamous Jimmy Saville.
