Wisdom from George Washington

"It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible."

Washington proclaimed firearms to be "the people's liberty teeth."

"The hand that destroys the Constitution rends our Union asunder forever."

"Finally, let us not forget the religious character of our origin. Our fathers were brought hither by their high veneration for the Christian religion. They journeyed by its light, and labored in its hope. They sought to incorporate its principles with the elements of their society, and to diffuse its influence through all their institutions, civil, political, or literary."

Quote from George Washington

In case you haven't noticed, my standard of a politician is George Washington. Obviously, finding someone like him is not likely to happen. But a person can dream.

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their houses and farms are to be pillaged and destroyed, and themselves consigned to a state of wretchedness from which no human efforts will deliver them.
The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission. We have, therefore to resolve to conquer or die."

I can't help but study GW during political campaigns.
