On Morals & Virtue: At the time George Washington @ the height of his popularity & presidency , stepping down from rule to return to his lands & farming was considered the greatest virtue by all then. It was George Washington's sole conscious purpose to emulate the acts of Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, the famed dictator & model of selfless humble civic leadership from early Roman history ,almost all of our great fathers were completely familiar with .

Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus (519 BC – 430 BC)

If these lazy witless dunces had even an ounce of education equal to that of our forefather's, that were so steeped in the classics & free thinkers (with such reverance), but they're only just stupid enough to think it the ramblings in the Bible that the great lessons of history came from. Absolutely not the case.

There wasn't an educated man of the time that did not know of that famed Roman leader Cincinnatus and didnt dream of emulating him. That kind of classic education has been assailed & dilluted by these asses in the last 50yrs with their right wing fundie whining but just look at the quality of men it produced back then?
