As many here, at Free Republic, are doubtless aware, George Washington recommended to the Continental Congress that we adopt the Swiss system of arming the teenaged boys in the home with military grade rifles. He also showed a clear understanding of the psychological benefits to the armed boys in instilling so important a level of responsibility at a formative age.

The Founders demonstrated in many ways a deeper intellect than that possessed by our current "leaders."

The average halibut has a deeper intellect than possessed by our current leaders.

In all ways, did the Founders demonstrate deeper intellect than our current “leaders”.

A young man who does not have what it takes to perform military service is not likely to have what it takes to make a living. Today’s military rejects include tomorrow’s unemployed.

“The Founders demonstrated in many ways a deeper intellect than that possessed by our current “leaders.”

So true and yet, at the same time, an incredible UNDERstatement. Like saying that Shaq Oneal is a little bigger than a munchkin.
