George Washington Will Warblog, Correct Liberal History

by Jim Newell  5:29 pm March 1, 2010

The Coward-King of Virginia, Wingnut George Washington, has returned to his computer, for warfare. He is taking our attack seriously, at his own peril:

Dear Jim Newell,

As to your second comment, neither George Washington nor I murdered King George III.

Please check your history.

In fact if you watch the HBO Film Series on John Adams, (that I was given by the Virginia Tourism Corporation for marching with them as George Washington in the Governor McDonnell Inaugural Parade), you can watch John Adams present himself to King George III as the American Ambassador to the Court of Saint James.

Not that HBO is the final word on history, but I thought you might enjoy that approach to learning history.

As to the not allowing readers to comment, I just set up the blog on Google Blogger, I will check the settings. I thought that comments accepted was the default.

I did not set up an automated No-Wonkette writers screening filter… promise!

Don’t know what you are trying to say with your line:

But now it’s just more of the same.

Please explain.

Never.

Anyway, thanks for the Laugh Out Loud from Alex_P and other Wonkettes in regard to George Washington and his support of good folks signing the Mount Vernon Statement to Conserve this Constitution.

By the way, on the site, did you see that George Washington’s aide shaking hands with President Reagan at CPAC ’83?

Did you watch any of the videos? A man in Utah who got the link did, though he let me know one of the videos was marked private, kinda like you have done about the comment feature.

Thanks for writing.

For God, Country, Constitution & Liberty,

“George Washington”

(In the original e-mail he wanted us to watch some videos of him or Ronald Reagan or whatever. Obviously this task was delegated to Intern Riley, who never does anything. ONE OF THESE DAYS, INTERN RILEY!)

ANYWAY, then came another e-mail:

Dear Mr. Newell,

After replying to your email, I found 3 Anonymous “comments”. This is one.

Is this the sort of commentary that typifies many of your Wonkettes?

I hope not.

If I can avoid it, profanity will NOT be posted. This one will be rejected.

Reasonable, even if not “Fair and Balanced” will be posted.

Thanks again.

GW

“Roscoe, Have you ever knelt in Prayer? If so, were you as “tall” as when standing? I expect not. In the Wonkette photo, the George Washington LIVE! living History re-enactor was kneeling, with his hands both clasped in prayer AND holding the corner of the Mount Vernon Statement signed by many great Americans.”

“…great Americans”? K-Lo?!?!

M Lite March 1, 2010 at 6:43 pm

I just posted this on the website. Let’s see if it gets approved…I didn’t even cuss :)

“Perhaps here would be a good place to point out that the story of George Washington kneeling in prayer at Valley Forge is farcical, created amongst others by Mason “Parson” Weems in his “Life of Washington.” Basically, he was out to make a buck by selling stories of the Great Man tailored to pander to the mores of a mass readership right after his death. He claimed to be the He was out to make a profit, and his stories were only loosely tied to the real George Washington. Ditto for stories like the apple tree and even his account of Washington’s death. Weems claimed to have been the one time “Rector of Mount-Vernon Parish” because only locals realized that such a Parish did not exist in the Diocese of Virginia. I point this out because the picture on the right hand of the title bar is based on this farcical story. In a letter to John Adams, Benjamin Rush voiced his disgust “the impious application of names and epithets to him [Washington] that are ascribed to Scripture only to God and to Jesus Christ.”

George Washington was likely a Deist, who based his personal code far more on classical ideals of Stoicism than on any particular sect of Christianity. He was very reticent in discussing religious matters, and only engaged in the Episcopal vestry in a pro-forma way as was expected of a Virginia gentleman. He abruptly quit the vestry in when it became inconvenient to him to fulfill the role. It dishonors the man to publicize these known falsehoods.”

The book “Moral Minority” by Brooke Allen is great for debunking the bullshit lies about our “Good Christian” Founding Fathers. It uses such well known Librul tools as facts and direct quotes, so it might not convince those in costumes, but valuable ammunition none the less (and don’t these folks love ammunition?)

But Jim is right. I refer to the HBO movie, “The Madness of King George,” which clearly showed that the American colonists drove King George III insane, clearly destroying his mind, the important part of the human body.

doxastic March 1, 2010 at 7:14 pm

The History Channel just told me that Washington did not actually wear a powdered wig. He just pulled back his own brown hair. Just saying.

Tommmcatt March 1, 2010 at 7:23 pm

Okay, I don’t usually warblog but he’s cherry-picking Jefferson quotes to prove that the USA is a “christian nation”, which pisses me off.

So I left this, and didn’t want it to go to waste so …

How about posting the whole quote, Mr. Manship?

To the corruptions of Christianity I am indeed opposed, but not to the genuine precepts of Jesus himself. I am a Christian, in the only sense in which he wished anyone to be: sincerely attached to his doctrines in preference to all others, ascribing to himself every human excellence, and believing he never claimed any other.
-Thomas Jefferson (emphasis mine)

In other words, Christ wasn’t divine and never claimed to be.

There is clear evidence that since there was a great deal of discussion about making the United States a Christian nation (the phrase “separation of church and state” comes from one of his letters to a pastor discussing the issue), the fact that he omitted any reference to it in the Constitution itself probably points to the framers omitting it on purpose, don’t you think? Although to conclude that one would have to actually look at history and draw conclusions based on the evidence there, rather than cherry-picking parts of it to support a preconceived notion, I suppose.

Greetings from Wonkette, by the way. A word of advice: when you wrestle with a pig, who looks more the fool- the pig? Or the moron who descended into the pig’s environment to wallow in the mud? Leaving speculation as to your intellect aside for the moment, engaging a site which is meant to poke fun at the idiocies of modern movement conservatism in with an attempt at meaningful discourse is a bit like wrestling a pig, don’t you think?

Given the state of your postings here and elsewhere, I doubt you do, much.

I’ll be posting this over on Wonkette so at least everyone there will get a chance to see it, for I doubt it will show up on your web page anytime soon.

Enjoy your cosplay, sir.

Hopefully the graduate-school elocution will inspire him to try and rise to the tone, the more to elicit malapropism and the his use of bad logical construction. I have fuck-all to do other than be amused this afternoon.

In response to some of his yapping about kneeling to pray I had written: “Something tells me JR has done much kneeling in his time.”

To which he responded “Indeed, like George Washington knelt in Prayer, so does JR. Try it, you may find it humbles you and empowers your thinking!”

If he’s either not getting the inference or at least pretending not to get it, where’s the fun? I only like the trolls when we can get their heads to explode.

dijetlo March 1, 2010 at 8:58 pm

Next thing you know faux Jorge Washington will be claiming the original wasn’t stacking the “bedwarmers” up two deep and playing “oreo cookie” (The Father of our Nation AKA the White Creamy middle). Good lord man, have you seen Beyonces “Put a ring on it” video? The only way he wasn’t tapping that would be if he’d caught the gehz from all those years surveying the C&O canal with only his two faithful slaves, “Neil” and “Bob”, for companionship.
I can look past the historically demonstrated fact that George Washington was a serial rapist, I can look post his homosexual trysts out on the Appalachian trail (who knew he was a Republican?), but when you claim he did not kill King George of England I can only cry “Balderdash!!!”. The bastards dead, isn’t he? Who had a better reason to kill him than George “Jungle Fever” Washington?

GW

And Anglican… Go to Saint Andrews Anglican Church on Monroe Street in Alexandria and you will see how “Deist” those folks are.

Yet far more, read the prayers that Washington penned at age 20 and you will see a man deeply devoted to God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. Then further look at the three books on prayer that his father Gus gave to 11 year old George, when Gus died.

Your definition of Deist must be all-inclusive…

Haha. Yeah, I read Little Washington’s response. I don’t know whey I wasted my time. There are two sets of facts, one based on primary sources…like what the Founders actually said, and records of what they did…and the other was shit that people made up to sell books and pander to the growing religious fervor of Americans. Kinda like todays GOP, it’s hard to compete when one side can just make stuff up and keep on parroting the same talking points even after they have been objectively debunked.

Instead, I think I’ll be like the real George Washington, and enjoy a nice glass of rye whiskey as I laugh at it all.
