9. I recognize you were brought up to worship George Washington and ignore truth

But the truth was he cared little for the people. He helped institute a Congress where only white men of property could vote and even gave them more votes for the number of slaves held. You need to quit drinking the kool-aid and read "The Peoples History of America", which clearly shows the oppression and evil that has been done in the name of big business for hundreds of years. We must fight that everyday, and if you were really so aware of what has happened historically in this country and around the world with the greedy class grinding the face of the needy class, you might think about your Bible telling you that you cannot serve two masters and see why we support Bernie. So while your desires to support women are very valid, do not forget that as a Christian you are also to support the poor and the poor certainly does not include the bankers, Corporate CEOs, and Wall Street donors.
