Anyways, the founders were quite a randy lot, including Washington who married an older rich widow and spent a lot of time away with other men's wives.

Isn't this some kind of communist tactic? To tear down the founders of America as to make it more palatable to destroy the American values?

I don’t think you can tear down values. They stand on their own, no matter who, or what.

Isn’t it odd, that in a era of almost little to no government, we produced men that won the war? Why? Because from humble to plantation owner, everyone had to make it or not, on their own.

But, both conservatives and leftist now think it was the education of the environment, but the ‘Great Man’ theory that made it.

In short, we didn’t need Washington. The Crown was done because the mass of independent working, living, farming people wanted them out. Everything else was prologue.

We had a thousand Washington’s, maybe tens of thousands, all through the colonies.

Small government nurtures giants. Government manufacturers ghettos, Detroit, slums.
