This concept of Washington and Jefferson being immoral is rather pathetic. You should read your own posts back and see how dumb they sound.

i don't know much one way or the other about slave owning or any of that, but one thing jefferson did advocate was violent revolution every few years... the lady at the libertarian booth at the street fair said every 10 years... i thought i'd read every generation... it's been a long time in any event... of course most revolutions are simply replacing one tyrant for another ....'meet the new boss, same as the old boss'... on the other hand if i were president....

Using the moral standards of the 18th and 19th centuries then George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were moral men.
Looking at their actions in today's light one can say that they planted the moral seeds which allowed the USA to change the moral positions of their day to the ones we have today(for better and for worse).
