Actual title: George Washington named Britain's greatest ever foe

Ain’t Washington. It’s Mo. And Mo is winning.

Frou-frou?........

If only the Brits handed him his commission. Lost most of his battles but won the most important one leading a group of men through freezing snow, a frozen river, chased by a larger army while his has barely any shoes on nor food to eat. The greatest Christmas eve in American history.

What a great and interesting topic. For some reason I think of the other British wars and battles (the few that I knew) as being huge and epic.

But with our Revolution it seems more rag-tag with more wit and logistics than the huge epic battles.

God bless George Washington.

I wonder if they mention General Koos de la Rey or General Christian de Wet or General Piet Joubert. All Boer Generals who played decisive parts during the various wars the British waged on the Boers. The second Anglo-Boer War was responsible for leading to the demise of the British Empire & cost the Boers 50 % of their child population.

Someone posted there, and I think a case can be made for: Neville Chamberlain.

Or George Galloway. Britain may not be at war at the moment, but it’s losing it’s life and Georgy is playing a significant part in that.

George Washington is the greatest man in history, excluding Jesus Christ. He was the most important man in the foundation of the greatest, most powerful, and most advanced nation in history of mankind...

Louis Botha was the choice from the Boer War.

... as well as our greatest President.

No kidding. Cameron has proved to be a huge disappointment. Tory my arse.

No, he was a Mason who hated Christianity and along with Jefferson sought to establish a secular humanist state. A liberal told me as much in a Facebook debate and I’m sure all of his claims were factual. GW probably laid the foundation stone in NY for the United Nations... I’m sure there’s a picture of it somewhere in the National Archives.

The one I can't figure out is Andrew Jackson. The museum stated "His victory at New Orleans was a decisive blow in the War of 1812." Huh? The treaty was already signed but the agreement to end the war didn't get back to the US in time to stop the Battle of New Orleans. Perry's victory on Lake Erie had a far greater effect on the war.

Amen.

You’re either full of sh*t or you forgot the sarcasm tag.

George Washington was a devout Christian who prayed daily in private.

“George Washington certainly was a religious man. His own diary shows of his dedication.”

To say George Washington was a deist is a LIE.

Those that spread the LIE are attempting to paint the famous Founders as non-believers for the purpose of denaturing the United States of America from a Christian to a secular founding.
