Why was George Washington a great president?

Answer 1

Because he helped to pull America through the revolutionary war. Do you know how he did that? He actually FOUGHT in the war, unlike today's politicians. He created a basis for our constitution, which protects certain basic unalienable individual rights. He understood, that "It's amazing to me how many people think that voting to have the government give poor people money is compassion. Helping poor and suffering people yourself is compassion. Voting for our government to use guns to give money to help poor and suffering people is immoral self-righteous bullying laziness. People need to be fed, medicated, educated, clothed, and sheltered. If we're compassionate, we'll help them, but you get no moral credit for forcing other people to do what you think is right. There is great joy in helping people, but no joy in doing it at gunpoint." -Penn Jillette
