Did George Washington hate the people?

[Anarchist420]

He didn't veto the Death Penalty for altering coinage. He also supported the government over the people as with the Whiskey Rebellion.

I believe that Presidents tend to hate the people because they conquer the people (to govern is to conquer).

Don't all Presidents act against the United States? Aren't they all treasonous?

The President's job is to uphold the law. Are you suggesting that upholding the law makes one treasonous? Because that argument doesn't make any sense.

George Washington had some good ideas about non-interventionism but you make some good points. Favoring the people over the government in the Whiskey Rebellion is very treasonous.

A vast majority of the presidents of the US supported conquering the people and increasing the size of government and thus were traitors. Very few of them actually cared about the people

They offered to make him king . He had a few things to say about that . So no he didn't hate the people . I think if one man insults another a duel is in order and it should be legal . Things would change for the better rapidly

So if a president sets up a false flag and we go to war over it . Should he not be hung as a traitor and murder and war crimnal as it was his deception, We have had those yet no one was hung . Why is that ?

Because getting a bj in the wh is an impeachable offense but starting a war under false pretenses is not.

What if the law violates freedom, then what. The president should not support such a law

Congress let him do it....no the BJ part. Executive orders are way out of hand and the UN can go give a goat a BJ.

He was impeached because he lied under oath for a civil trial against him due to sexual harassment.

His impeachment because by lying under oath he denied Paula Jones her civil liberties, and ended up paying her a million dollars because of it.

Well that's an interesting point.

The first isn't true, but you knew that. Was it a witch hunt? You bet.

As far as "false pretenses" that's not true either. The Dems haven't the balls to investigate and their followers ignore or make excuses for them not doing so. We heard how bad things were, how there should be an accounting, and as soon as the Dems got power they and theirs got amnesia. Everything was perfectly in order no matter what we believe if there's no investigation, and the left wouldn't have it any other way. The Right? We all knew they would back what happened so that's no surprise. What was is how quickly both crawled in bed with each other to bury it.

Sorry, but I'm not going to let that one pass. Until the left holds its own accountable they ought to shut up about Iraq and Bush. I hold both sides in contempt.

As far as Washington goes, he gave us the heads up that political parties would be the cause of our ruin. Seems he was spot on, with my previous post as one example.

George Washington hated good dental hygiene.....

That's because corps didn't have the power they do now. It's simple power & greed that drives politics rotten.

 

[gevorg]

he sure hated the Natives to set a footprint for decades of massacres...

 

[werepossum]

Well, I'd guess he hated people who made fun of wooden teeth . . .

Little known fact, his wife had a wooden prosthetic breast. That would be funny if I had a punch line, wouldn't it?

When I saw the question of " Did George Washington hate the people? " , I correctly concluded that no one other than Anarchist420, would post such a stupid question.

Oh well, Pardon me for saying, if someone asks a stupid question, we can usually expect stupid answers.

Or dare I assert the better question, do the American people hate George Washington, then or now? Point granted, George Washington, like all human leaders had his own character flaws and feet of clay. But when George Washington could have been King for the asking, he wisely declined and set the United States example that lasts and endures.

In part, but realize that parties ARE power. There is only one entity can take your property, your rights, your liberty, or your life. That's not Exxon. If you think not, just how can you be illegally wiretapped with impunity? That's not Exxon either.

I think you are making very ignorant statements with no proof. Read some of Washington's own writings if you want to know what he thought. Dont conjecture based on some legislation he would not go along with. There are many reasons not to sign legislation. Gen George Washington fought a long and bloody war for the sake of freedom and refused to be king. The president takes an oath to uphold the law. Maybe if we had more death penalties, we would have less crime. This liberty thing was new and it was very difficult. In his days there were problems with currency being accepted. Everything was not so cut and dry as you think. His was the responsibility to hold together 13 colonies that did not trust each other. It was a constant struggle. What you read in books is often not the complete truth. Going back and trying to second guess the founders is folley. Most people become president because they want to serve the country. It is a very difficult job.

Even in Brigham Young's day people were proud to have fought in the revolutionary Army with George Washington.

Rich people have always, and will always, control the government.
