THOSE WERE THE DAYS, MY FRIEND

This from Wikipedia: "The Founding Fathers of the United States were those individuals of the Thirteen Colonies in North America who led the American Revolution against the authority of the British Crown in word and deed and contributed to the establishment of the United States of America."  At least some of these names should be familiar to you: John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and George Washington.  

Judging from the picture, one might surmise that these were principled, educated and well-mannered men who were gathered together for a common cause: establishing freedom and democracy in North America.  Most of the American Revolution figures were members of the Masonic Lodge; although not a religious organization, one must believe in a Supreme Being to be a member.  Many of the teachings and principles of Free Masonry ended up encoded in U.S. law, and it is certain that the Founding Fathers intended our government to be centered on a religious foundation.  

What do you suppose these men would have to say about Washington D.C. in 2017?  Does it surprise you that in their day the likes of Bill and Hillary Clinton, Loretta Lynch, James Comey, Susan Rice or Eric Holder would have long ago been hung from a public gallows in a Washington square?  

But, that was then and this is now.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
