Priceless.
Yeah, but there is truth in it.
Term limits would have been a good add on, along with an upper age limit to hold office.
Good one! Sad, though.
I would be interested in an exercise to “improve” the Constitution.
Some people like to say it’s just perfect and we just need to follow it. But we are now in a bad place, and the Constitution was insufficient to save us from ourselves. So I do think there is room for improvement.
As an example — yes, WE know what the Second Amendment says, but the actual wording seems have been “difficult” for some people to grasp. And now we have 10,000 gun control laws. The wording could be improved.
Taxes, tariffs, term limits and treason are all areas that could have been handled better — and that’s just the letter T.
I think working on an update would be worthwhile and I think a Constitutional Convention is needed.
His farewell address dealt with people not taking the Constitution seriously. He warned people to do so.
Sometimes countries have to overcome serious invasions and rebellions. But that doesn't mean it's over.
Our side, the side of America as designed and built, is on the side of right and righteousness. It is on the side of freedom and decency. It is on the side of God himself (for heaven's sake).
We will get over this and be stronger for it. Take heart because this battle has just begun...and we will win.
We will win because our desire for freedom and human dignity is vastly greater than our enemy's desire to enslave us.
We are fighting for our very lives...but our enemies are merely fighting to dominate and enslave us. Whose side has the more motivating cause? Which side is worth dying for?
Oh, if only he and the other founding fathers could appear before Congress right now and give them the horse whooping they all deserve.
The word "Judeo-Christian" did not exist in Washington's time.
The History of the term Judeo-Christian.
The term “Judæo Christian” first appears in a letter from Alexander McCaul which is dated October 17, 1821. The term in this case referred to Jewish converts to Christianity.
The term was similarly used by Joseph Wolff in 1829, in reference to a type of church that would observe some Jewish traditions in order to convert Jews.
Mark Silk states in the early 19th century the term was “most widely used (in French as well as English) to refer to the early followers of Jesus who opposed” the wishes of Paul the Apostle and wanted “to restrict the message of Jesus to Jews and who insisted on maintaining Jewish law and ritual”...
The concept of Judeo-Christian ethics or Judeo-Christian values in an ethical (rather than a theological or liturgical) sense was used by George Orwell in 1939, along with the phrase “the Judaeo-Christian scheme of morals”.
Historian K. Healan Gaston has stated that the term emerged as a descriptor of the United States in 1930s, when the US sought to forge a unified cultural identity to distinguish itself from the fascism and communism in Europe.
The term rose to greater prominence during the Cold War to express opposition to communist atheism.
IDK, our Saint George may yet have a future date on a White Horse.
Pshaw. Ya. The Bidens are in charge.
I like the Babylon bee but this is some wimpy crap
God wins in the end. George will then be able to say the system worked.
Might be generous by 2 years
at the rate things are going
The founding fathers put in the 2nd Amendment for precisely this eventuality (or probability or possibility). They did all they could. It’s up to us.
even in jest, i’m not ready to roll over for the progressives and crater this country so they can take over to make their marxist ‘utopia’
Pretty sure he said that "Four Score and Seven Years" wasn't a bad run.
That's how long the original Republic lasted. What we had after 1863 was a *MASSIVE* and out of control Federal government.
I’d suggest creating a government that is only for “a moral and religious people” yet not declaring the country Christian would eventually run into problems.
We currently are a kakistocracy: a government run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens.
