Your other theme, that by calling attention to historically recorded facts about George Washington I am insulting and belittling him and damaging my credibility - not in my view in the minds of anyone whose escalator goes to the top floor....

"Or by anyone who wants to tear down America and everything it stands for -- like you."

So what are you suggesting? That we should refrain from telling the truth if, in the minds of jingoistic chauvanistic idiots like yourself, the truth might be seen as having a negative reflection on our nation.

We often hear a partial quote "My country, right or wrong." which appeals to people of your mentality. But the full quote states a principle that genuine patriots hold. "My country right or wrong, when right, to be kept right, when wrong, to be made right."Thus endeth the lesson for today, sad to say it is probably more than you can absorb.
