- He was probably conservative. - He believed in God - He was a military general and patriot. - He probably owned a gun. - He supported freedom. - He was Caucasian. - He owned ... well, you know. - He didn't wear a mask in public, especially in a loaded boat while crossing the Delaware River.

And he voluntarily stepped down after two terms. Clearly not much of a politician.

He, along with others, will be removed from all studies on history. The liberals will write their own history and force it on others.

I was a substitute teacher at a local middle school today. Their black history announcement today was that it was Prince's birthday. The announcer stated his talent and showman ship-(OK)-and then went on to say he was original-giving the example that in some of his videos, girls dressed like boys and boys dressed like girls. The person doing the announcing was very upbeat about this.
I also noticed that there was NO mention of today beiing the birthday of a guy named Washington, who was slightly (sarcasm) important to the country. The new progressive idea of history and culture cares nothing about history, except to tear down the parts of it they find "offensive".

The Original GOAT.
He held together an Army with string, he didn't even have duct tape or gorilla glue.
He resigned as commander-in-chief once the Treaty of Paris was signed. He could have taken over the country.
Despite his concern he might be criticized for meddling in civil matters, he sent a circular letter to all the states maintaining the Articles of Confederation was no more than "a rope of sand" linking the states.
He lent his prestige to the goodwill and work of the other delegates, as he presided over the Constitutional Convention.
He could have been President for life, but believed a civil transition of power should occur before his death.
He was apolitical and opposed the formation of parties, suspecting that conflict would undermine republicanism. Sadly he was spot on.
Washington restricted cabinet discussions to topics of his choosing, without participating in the debate. He thus avoided Group Think, before it was a thing.
Many may argue Lincoln, FDR or someone else as the Goat, but without Washington there would not have been any others.
