George Washington and Alexander Hamilton would be crying right now if they could see what we've done with the country they gave us.

Actually, I misspoke. Of course Washington and Hamilton wouldn't cry.

"If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is no recourse left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all forms of positive government." --Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 28

How long before we tire of the betrayal?
