Quote For The Day
"In politics, as in religion, my tenets are few and simple; the leading
one of which, and indeed that which embraces most others, is to be
honest and just ourselves, and to exact it from others; meddling as
little as possible in their affairs where our own are not involved. If
this maxim was generally adopted, wars would cease and our swords would
soon be converted into reap-hooks and our harvests be more peaceful,
abundant and happy," - George Washington, cited in Steve Waldman's new book, "Founding Faith," just published.
Doesn't sound like a Christianist, does he?
