Hamilton was the vile pupp...I have to second that. Hamilton was the vile puppet master, and Washington let all too much vile crap happen on his watch. Washington certainly set a great example of a man who lets go of power and steps down (he did that twice, to the astonishment of the world), but he let the vipers within his admin scheme to undermine the Constitution. <br /><br />If it were not for Jefferson, joined by a repentant Madison, our Republic would have died in 1800. Jefferson was as good as we are going to get, save for some off the wall chance that Ron Paul is actually elected in 2012, which is extremely unlikely (presuming we even have an election). <br /><br />But as to the broader point, it may be that we will be better off if the economic collapse is so bad it leads to dissolution, as you allude to often. <br /><br />Whichever way it goes, get to high ground, circle the wagons, and keep your powder dry. <br /><br />HPLHigh Plains Lawyernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469109905542911409.post-87780084923031946922009-09-02T18:20:43.703+01:002009-09-02T18:20:43.703+01:00“Washington was great, but Adams was paranoid and ...“Washington was great, but Adams was paranoid and lazy, and Jefferson was as vile a scheming politician as a nation has ever been cursed with.”<br /><br />I realize this is off the topic but I just feel compelled to address it.<br /><br />After reading Hologram of Liberty by BTP, and Hamilton’s Curse by DiLorenzo, I’ve about come to the opinion that Washington was the dupe of Hamilton and Madison. He was totally honest and sincere, but he allowed those two to take some paths that led to a very flawed constitution. <br /><br />And Jefferson as “vile and scheming”! He was brilliant, and his vision of a weak central government, had it been adopted fully, would have avoided the whole mess we’re in today. The scheming worm that was so influential in doctoring the final draft of the constitution was that dirtbag Hamilton. His vision for a powerful central government long outlived him, thanks to men like John Jay and John Marshall. <br /><br />I hope you'll forgive me for deviating from your point.GunRights4UShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16830687524291663778noreply@blogger.com
