I wish they wouldn't sully the memory of George Washington with Abe Lincoln. Why don't they combine Lincoln with MLK day instead?

Why not really get creative and combine Mlk's birthday with Robert( Sheets) Byrd's birthday?

If Washington had been alive in 1861, he'd have been standing beside Lincoln to preserve the Union. Both were Federalists who believed in a strong Union to preserve American peace and freedom.

On the other hand, Jefferson Davis pursued a despicable line that would invite foreigners to move against fellow Americans. Washington would have been horrified by the policies of the CSA.
