The Poet swift boats Washington. Vote Arnold!

My friend "The Poet" has a shortwave radio program called "The Crystal Ship". He and cohorts rock the shorwave airways with their raucous music and incendiary political commentary.

He emailed me one such piece of commentary that I thought was hilarious. A riff in much the way the Rowboat Vets did....

"This message is sponsored by the Continental Soldiers for Truth."

(((music comes up, "The World Turned Upside Down")))

"General George Washington....
The So-called Father of our Country?
Or irresponsible and immoral neer-do-well, and perhaps even TRAITOR?
YOU be the judge.

"George Washington was immortalized in a painting portraying him crossing the Delaware River.
But why did Washington actually cross the Delaware? To attack the Hessians? NO.
Eyewitness accounts of Continental soldiers now reveal
that his primary motivation for crossing the Deleware River,
was to escape local Pennsylvania authorities who sought him in connection
with civil disturbances at a series of BROTHELS!

"The Battle at Trenton: A Great and Moral Victory? NO.
Washington's winter campaign was not only a fundemental violation of long-standing military laws and traditions,
but his attack on Trenton, making war on Christmas Day, the birthdate of The Prince of Peace,
was a GROSS violation of basic MORAL VALUES held dear by All right-thinking Christian Americans!

"But perhaps Washington does not share ANY of our moral values.
At the Battle of Monmouth Courthouse, he was heard by eyewitnesses,
loudly and repeatedly taking the Lord's name in vain, and MAY have used the F-WORD!

"Why did Washington, as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, split that army and
lead it to near-destruction in the battles on Long Island?
And why did Washington allow the British Army to escape from Boston without ever firing a shot?
Could it be connected with the fact that he was in the employ of the British Army under Braddock
a mere twenty years earlier--- a British army which he ALSO saved from annihilation?
These questions cry out for truthful answers!

"George Washington: Great General and moral leader? NO.
Washington actually LOST most of the battles in which he was ever engaged.
But according to eyewitness accounts, he kept the late-night oil burning brightly in his tent
in private 'consultations' with the young, attractive and FRENCH Marquis de Lafayette.

"Was Washington's relationship with Lafayette confined to 'military affairs' alone?
What was actually contained in Washington's French letters? And what do they REALLY
mean when they say 'Washington Slept Here'?

"Washington: A fiscally responsible manager? NO!
Washington rarely has any money, and when he does manage to make a dollar,
has been known to throw it away!
Will YOU allow George Washington to throw YOUR tax dollars across the river?


"Don't fall victim to the Washington Legend, NOW THAT YOU KNOW THE TRUTH!

"Vote for Honesty, Loyalty and True Patriotism
Vote for Decency and Christian Moral Values
Vote for the Truth!

"Vote Benedict Arnold on November 2nd.

"This Message has been Paid for by
the Continental Soldiers for Truth
