Yet he owned slaves......I'm happy he changed his tune but the fact remains he did. And that up till his death. His wife actually is the one who freed them, and that a year later.
So maybe we should ask him again?
Happy Birthday Mr. President

Good point Res, it must have been something else for the British to support the South.
Lets.
Mr. President, what did you put in your will regarding slavery?
...near the end of his life; Washington’s will mandated the freeing of his slaves upon his wife’s death, making him the only slaveholding Founder to put provisions for manumission in his will.

Very true......and how nice of him. He couldn't free them now could he? He had to will it for his wife to do upon HER death. Such a gentleman.
So, let's ask him again....
You didn't do very good job of trashing President Lincoln's reputation, so why not the "Father of Our Country", George Washington? (Sigh, Libertarians, what can ya do with em?).
BTW, I bet you get all teary eyed over the guy who has his own holiday:

Thanks for participating in the thread Doc, you can let the Jr. Libertarian take over from here (fresh from his RPF indoctrination seminar).

Which is what I'm doing.
Oh I see, your tactics don't work with me so you wanna go after CL again to try to get him banned.
Nah, I'd rather talk about the adulterous, plagiarist, communist sympathizer who received the first Margaret Sanger Planned Parenthood Award.
After all, he did get a holiday in his name.

Then make a thread about him. Surely you don't want to derail your own thread about Presidents do you?
Excellent idea. I don't recall if you participated in it.

I thought that was a pretty good post...
I can see that much thought went into it.
I got to thinking about the things you said about George Washington, and because he was a slave owner, I think we should strip him of the "Father of Our Country" title.
I'm sure that both you and I can agree who he should be replaced with.
He's a guy that voted to allow fags to openly serve in the military, who thinks abortion is a states right issue, who wants all recreational drugs legalized, who is for the continued legalization of pornography, kiddy porn included.
Who else represents the values of modern day America better than...

Should radical Muslims invade the US to end abortion?
I didn't really talk about the south or state's rights in this thread. I did bring up the tyrannical abuses of power you ignored.
Oh come on. Lincoln had a lot of achievements. Lincoln created the modern leviathan State. That must have been a mighty "great" achievement
Not only that, but aCW openly supports it every time he posts.
Quite frankly, aCW is far more disgusting than a slave owner.
there's a lot of potholes in the streets i drive on
would you mind volunteering to fill them in?
kthxbaie :wave2:

Does Washington deserve my respect because he chose to free his slaves after the death of his wife. I'd respect the man who made the choose to release his slaves while he was alive. That anti-slavery mentality ran deep,in the Washington blood line. So much so that Martha Washington made a great impression on her great grandson Robert E.Lee. You know was the great hero of the War of Northern Aggression. Although Lee never owned slaves and regarded it as evil, he was the leader of the army that fought to keep it going.
