“During the war, in other words, Washington thought his way to Federalism, long before a Federalist Party existed.”
Starvation will do that to thinking men.
Excellent article.
“George Washington” visited the Nixon Library in SoCal today and gave a nice presentation to the children about our first President. He had many wonderful exhibits to share with them and took their questions.
Just wish more parents took advantage of the free history lesson for their children.
July 3 will see Abe Lincoln at the Library!
Nice article about Washington’s time as Commander-in-Chief and President. It gives a brief summary of the treachery of Jefferson as his SoS (hiring a “translator” with Department funds and using him to edit an anti-administration newspaper) and the critical role of Hamilton in designing and implementing the financial structure which allowed the development of our modern capitalist economy by creating a money supply through the assumption of the national debt.
Washington was rightly outraged by the lying tactics of Madison and Jefferson (whose name he would not allow to be uttered in his presence after leaving office). They were even more outrageous in their attempts to destroy Hamilton physically and politically.

As I wrote the the city journal Ignoring the Religion (Christianity) and the Morality based upon that Christian religion) central to the identity of George Washington is
akin to ignoring that which serves to define the modern homosexual. Despite that fatal flaw int he article it was otherwise well written. “Religion and Morality”as Washington wrote in his farewell address, are “indispensable supports”
to our “political prosperity” Yet this article shunned or rushed past the very religion and morality of this great American.
