I guess but my general point is there are many, many famous patriots who held these views. It was the predominant thinking at the time among the founders. Washington refered to it and there are many other examples but I’m not a historian so I cannot cite them all to you.

The grandkids of those commies are the ones that are anti Putin and Russia right now. (Victoria Nuland)
