230 years later and with 100 times the population, we have the current crop of turkeys running the Country and those waiting in the wings on both sides are probably no better.
I pray that the prayer would be that the character of George Washington and other founding fathers would come back to those serving in Congress.
Respectfully disagree. There were low-lives at the founding. We know of Washington and Roger Sherman for instance because of their character and virtue. We know of others, Jefferson and Paine for instance, who talked a good game but were without virtue. Human nature doesn't change. Some of the venal will always rise to the top.
Far as those in congress today and those waiting in the wings, that is a very broad statement to make. How can they possible be all the same? Michelle Bachmann is in Congress. So is Charlie Rangel. Rubio is waiting in the wings but so is Chris Dodd's replacement who is no better than Dodd.
