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.
Would you say that George Washington was able to accomplish anything good in his life?

What in the Hell is the point of that question? Are you following this discussion? Do you actually read my posts before you respond? It certainly doesn't appear so. Did I ever say anything to suggest that I did not regard George Washington as a great man with enormous accomplishments to his credit? All that I have tried to do is to point out that he wasn't a saint and that his utterances were not infallible. You seem unable to distinguish between that and completely trashing him - which I certainly never had the intention of doing.
Just like Non-Sequitur, you seem unable to read my posts and comprehend what I say, but rather you filter them through some preconceived notion of what a person such as your own ideologically determined vision of what I must be like would say. In short, you are delusional. It is unfortunate because it makes meaningful dialogue impossible. You don't respond to what I have posted, you respond to what your own ideological image of the kind of person I muist be would have posted on the subject.
You inhabit a world that exists only in your head.
