George was a proponent of the 2nd amendment:
"Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty's teeth."
Was he, as a slaveowner, a hypocrite?"
"I can only say that there is not a man living who wishes more sincerely than I do to see a plan adopted for the abolition of slavery."
George the libertarian?:
"It will be found an unjust and unwise jealousy to deprive a man of his natural liberty upon the supposition he may abuse it."
Or not:
"Mankind, when left to themselves, are unfit for their own government."
GW the futurist:
"Some day, following the example of the United States of America, there will be a United States of Europe."
George as Poor Richard?:
"Worry is the interest paid by those who borrow trouble."
George would not approve of my potty-mouth:
"The foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing is a vice so mean and low that every person of sense and character detests and despises it."
George the diplomat:
"Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all."
