“To the distinguished character of patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian.”

According to the libs he should have said,
“To the distinguished character of patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Deist.”

“To the distinguished character of patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian.” George Washington

Should be put on money.

I wonder about the authenticity of the drunk quote from Churchill.

George Washington - a giant of a man in so many ways - a Christian man. The book George Washington's Sacred Fire by Peter A. Lillback with Jerry Newcombe should be required reading in each and every school. A few more jewels from GW:

"The power under the Constitution will always be in the People. It is entrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and whenever it is executed contrary to their Interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their Servants can, and undoubtedly will be, recalled." (Nov. 10, 1787)

"We will never have Peace till the enemy are convinced that we are in a condition to carry on the War. It is no new maxim in politics that for a nation to obtain Peace, or insure it, It must be prepared for War." (May 5 [July 6]1780)

"There is so little dependence on newspaper publications, which take whatever complexion to the editors please to give them, that persons at a distance, who have no other means of information, are oftentimes at a loss to form an opinion on the most important occurrences." (May 15, 1797)

"A good general government, without good morals and good habits, will not make us a happy People; and we shall deceive ourselves if we think it will." (Aug. 31, 1788)

I think I’m going to use one of the Churchill quotes as my tagline for awhile. It’s so timely, considering the current state of the GOP.

Thanks. Great post!
