PATRIOTS - FOUNDING AND FAUX

Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism. George Washington



George Washington. 

Last evening I watched a program about him. 

Patriot. 

As were the other Founding Fathers.

There was no question about Washington's fitness to be a general. And later America's first president. 

Afterwards, and in contrast, there was more news about Hillary Clinton.

Good it was not.

Questions aplenty there are about Clinton's fitness - while serving as Secretary of State. And to be America's first female president.

But one (question) gets to the bottom line. 

Q: Why is Hillary Clinton unfit for public service?

A: Because integrity's the clan hindrance.

She's a dog, without pause. 

Patriot?

Faux. 

Imposture.

"On guard!" - warns George Washington.

Post Script

Pardon the necessary wordy answer. One word would have sufficed, and it's there, but following George Washington's 'Rules of Civility' appropriate - it's a forum core value.

Being totally cynical, I do believe that Ms Clinton will not be held accountable for any of her misdeeds. The fix is in. The term 'Skank" comes to mind when describing her. Not that I am that fond of Mr Trump. Even tho I am an old broke down Gy, I think I could do a better job as President than either of them. And there are plenty of others who could really get us back on track.
