president washington, in his farewell speech, warned the country against the development of political parties. He said it would tear the country apart.
and so it has. Dems and Reps are enemies. they loose sight of making america better, and instead try to beat each other. i look forward to the day politcal parties are gone, and politicians are selected on merit and personal beliefs, not whether thier name was highlighted in red or blue. |

And George Washington was also a hypocritical idiot at times. Not only for his stupidity during the Whiskey Rebellion, but also for his contradiction. Let's not forget he was ticketed as a Federalist... |

What's wrong with being a Federalist?! You yourself said you wanted to rid the world of political parties! And Shays's Rebellion? This has absolutely no relevance. Shays's Rebellion happened during the time of the Articles of Confederation, before the Constitution and Bill of Rights were even drafted, and before Washington was even hurled into office... But the main difference is that in Shays's Rebellion there was fairly little havok -- the Captain Shays and his men simply barricaded county courts to prevent creditors from foreclosing their farms. In the Whiskey Rebellion, however, towns were burned, pillaged, and ransacked. People refused to pay their taxes, tarred and feathered collectors, and killed, and Washington acted hesitantly. But, when he did act, he did so foolishly. Washington marched into Pennsylvania with upwards of 13,000 troops. He rode in the front, on his horse, in plain sight. It's a wonder he hadn't been killed, or our country wouldn't be stable today. But that is what I meant by his idiocy in the Whiskey Rebellion. |
