If any American deserves this singular honor, it is Washington. Quite simply, there would not be a United States of America without him.

The best that this “progressive” age can do is to make a movie depicting him as a cannibal (titled “The Washingtonians”). The depths to which our nation/society is descending never ceases to amaze me.

It is Washington’s contributions and sacrifice as commander of the continental army which is truly his legacy. He established, first and foremost, the responsibility of a nation’s military to respond to civilian control. The segment of history detailed above only further enhances his status as a man of unfailing principle and honor. Given the fact that his personal wealth and staus would have allowed him to continue quite nicely under British rule, his vision enabled him to risk all for the promise of the land in whihc we now live.

I would like to honor him in a meaningful way. I would gladly trade any holiday for a deeper analysis of the effects and actions of the founding fathers. Too little of this is brought to our students. Or worse, it is diluted with a comingling of side players whose importance is overblown in the scheme of our national history.

[...] Right Wing Nut House is hosting a copy of an excellent article from the American Thinker that shows how Washington embodies all the principles that we’ve come to respect in the Presidency. The case for changing the popular perception of today back to Washington’s Birthday is compelling and certainly worth a read. You’ll learn something. I wasn’t even aware of this anecdote! Washington was the first President in so many ways, and if he’d wished it, he could have shaped the Republic for his own gain. Instead he chose to humble himself after a long and victorious military campaign, hoping for the future. [...]
