George Washington and currency speculators
 

About currency speculators during the Revolutionary war: "This tribe of black gentry work more effectually against us, than the enemy's arms. They are a hundred times more dangerous to our liberties, and the great cause we are engaged in. It is much to be lamented that each State, long ere this, has not hunted them down as pests to society, and the greatest enemies we have to the happiness of America."

Good quote. If people read, and understand half the stuff many of those who founded and fought for their country they would realise how far they have drifted, and how they've wronged themselves, their nation and their future in many ways.

xmas13, do you always try and post to attract support from the lowest common denominator?

Here's the correct quote:

"They work more effectively against us than the enermy's armies. They are a hundred times more dangerous to our liberties and the great cause we are engaged in. It is much to be lamented that each state, long ago has not hunted them down as pests to society and the greatest enemies we have to the happiness of America - The Jews."

The first post is the correct one.

I actually thought you were joking. And then Chief posts a link suggesting there are actually people out there who believe that last remark is a comment George Washington would ever have made. It would be hilarious if it weren't so sad. It's pathetic.

Drifted??? There is a reason that the constitution was written in Pencil.

yes so people can be tricked into their own slavery and be happy with it. We are far worse off under current situation than our founding fathers were fighting against.

Yep, but thanks the the media, lack of education, and other things, the majority has no idea.

Depends on who you mean by "we" (speaking of slavery)

I'm just going to keep my head buried in the sand.
Someone tell me when i should convert all my currency to gold and hide it in the basement please.
