"With such powerful and obvious motives to union, affecting all parts of our country, while experience shall not have demonstrated its impracticability, there will always be reason to distrust the patriotism of those who in any quarter may endeavour to weaken its hands."So, Washington was already using the despicable ploy of accusing those who disagree with you of a lack of patriotism. The funny thing about you and Walt is, your abject worship of George Washington so blinds you that you don't hesitate to expose his less attractive features when you think you can thereby support an argument.
Wait a moment. I thought that Walt and I were Lincoln worshipers. So who do you worship? Lee, Davis, who?
