"My greatest dread as Chief Executive is that someday, my countrymen will turn the founders of this Nation, including myself, into idols - quoting us in their roody-poo Facebook statuses or using events we endured in YouTube videos, to make their points. As if to suggest, because we were who we were, if their opinion coincides with ours even in the slightest, then they must be indisputably in the right. I would rather play Twister with Franklin." -George Washington, 1796.

@scdarkside He was a francophile and did support us involvement in the frnech-english war, that would've been disastrous.

@caitsidhe governing yourself defines individualism dude and individuals welcome working with a government that works with them not rule over them by force as what Hamilton has proposed so its a difference between a sheep to the slaughter and independent wolf of the pack

This entire conversation is evidence of the idiocy of the "Ron-Paul-almost-a-libertarian
" nonsense. The stupidity of his "simple" solutions is matched only by the stupidity of those who think they're actual solutions! Everyone governing themselves - fine, go to the woods, live on your own, neither buying nor producing anything else and you have every right to govern yourself. But don't have the slightest contact with anyone else, or you're a fraud. -
@scdarkside If he would have had his way England would have crushed the USA

@tikletik People need to take responsibility for themselves. A central government happens when nobody cares to govern themselves.

@VotePaineJefferson A weak union would have inevitably ended up in a centralized government. The question wasn't between Independent states vs a centralized system, it was a question of what kind of centralized structure we ended up with.

@scdarkside yeah, he sure was right about the french revolution

There seems to be a Youtube trend of silly people commenting on these videos that Jefferson is "spanked" or put in his place by Hamilton, Washington, etc. But you're right - Jefferson was one of the revolutionaries who stayed true to the ideals of the revolution.
