1. Ironic that this right wing idiot mentioned George Washington.

Washington hired the Baron von Steuben, a German mercenary, to train the ragtag Continental Army, after a series of embarassing defeats. After von steuben's training, the Continental Army became a viable fighting force. The American military and the survival of America owed its existence to this one German mercenary more than anyone else. The Baron von Steuben was also a homosexual.

2. Oh the irony!!!!!!! I remember that now! I had forgotten that

he was a homosexual.

But you can rest assured that Mayor didn't learn that in his history class.

4. That and the French Navy...

But don't tell an idiot Right Winger that without the French there would be no USA. Their heads explode. All they have is WWII and their ignorant perception of the French as weaklings.

7. The French navy...

and plenty of Dutch money made our country possible.

6. Did not know that about the good Baron...

(whom my home town, Steubenville, OH is named after)

3. This Mayor must have been reading a Texas history book if he thinks his

hateful homophobic stance equates him to George Washington or Abraham Lincoln.

8. He sounds like a 14 year old punk, trying to sound tough.

It didn't work, it just highlights the fact that he is a weak old wimp, that thinks like a child.
