1. America was a different nation in the early era, one that saw itself as that shining city on a hill. And none is better suited to represent that period than George Washington.
Today, August 28th, 1776, times looked bleak for the incipient nation....
a. After the defeat of the Battle of Long Island (see 8/21), William Howe sent his army to move against the Continentals on Brooklyn Heights. Admiral Richard Howe prepared to send ships in the East River, surrounding Washington’s army. The end was near.
b. Just then the weather changed: wind began to rise and rain to fall. On August 29, Washington ordered a secret evacuation; the nor’easter masked Washington’s movements. A dense fog settled over the camps: Americans at that time recognized the source... “a providential occurrence.’
c. ".... "After dawn of the next day approached, those of us who remained in the trenches became very anxious for our own safety and when the dawn appeared there were several regiments here on duty. At this time, a very dense fog began to rise out of the ground and off the river. It seemed to settle in a peculiar manner over both encampments. I recollect this peculiar Providential occurrence perfectly well. And so very dense was the atmosphere that I could scarcely discern a man six yards distance. We tarried until the sun had risen but the fog remained as dense as ever."
The fog remained until the last boats left Long Island." George Washington Prays, God Sends Supernatural Fog to Allow Escape
[The following might imply that Roosevelt was the anti-George Washington.
Pretty much.]
So...if George Washington represents America at an earlier time....who are the post-Roosevelt era candidates representing America?
Some suggestions:
2. “Liberals spent the Vietnam War rooting for the enemy and clamoring for America's defeat, a tradition they have brought back for the Iraq war….During the Vietnam War, New York Times scion Arthur "Pinch" Sulzberger told his father that if an American soldier ran into a North Vietnamese soldier, he would prefer for the American to get shot. "It's the other guy's country," he explained.”

3.In may, of 2010, Michael H. Posner
Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, during official talks with China about human rights violations, compared the recently passed Arizona Law with “topics, including religious freedom, labor rights, freedom of expression, rule of law, racial discrimination,… the Falun, the religious situation in China. Also, concerning the Tibetans, monks also, asking for freedom – actually, it’s religious freedom….specifically about Gao Zhisheng’s whereabouts…any kind of a list of prisoners of conscience” in China.
QUESTION: Did the recently passed Arizona immigration law come up? And, if so, did they bring it up or did you bring it up?
ASSISTANT SECRETARY POSNER: We brought it up early and often. It was mentioned in the first session, and as a troubling trend in our society and an indication that we have to deal with issues of discrimination or potential discrimination, and that these are issues very much being debated in our own society. Briefing on the U.S.-China Human Rights Dialogue
4. [Democrat] Senator Pat Leahy was annoyed with the Reagan administration's war on terrorism in the 1980s. At the time he was vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Therefore, "Leaky Leahy," threatened to sabotage classified strategies he didn't like. [In 1988] as the Senate was preparing to hold hearings on the Iran-Contra scandal, Leahy had to resign his Intelligence Committee post after he was caught leaking secret information to a reporter. The Vermont Democrat's Iran-Contra leak was considered to be one of the most serious breaches of secrecy in the committee's 28-year history.

5. In 1983, [Democrat] Sen. Edward M. Kennedy offered to help the Soviets mount a public-relations offensive in the United States. This propaganda attack would target President Reagan and his policies. These are the same policies that eventually ended the Cold War and reduced the possibility of nuclear annihilation. This charge was made by Paul Kengor in his book "The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism." Ted Kennedy sides with Soviets. Traitor [Archive] - Georgia Outdoor News Forum
6. [Democrat] Senator Robert Torricelli of New Jersey, who led the charge in the mid-1990s to prevent the CIA from hiring unsavory characters. Torricelli rallied to the defense of State Department employee Robert Nuccio, who leaked classified material dealing with CIA operations in Guatemala to Torricelli, who in turn held a press conference and revealed the information to the media. It was these revelations that led to congressional restrictions on the ability of agents in the field to deal with “bad people.”

7. Oliver Stone: “These remarks should surprise no one who's followed Stone's long-standing hatred of Israel and, more blatantly, America. In 1987, he told an interviewer that U.S. soldiers deserved mass slaughter to compensate for the nation's past sins.” Oliver Stone's "Secret History" - Medved Blog - MyNorthwest.com
May I add, "Dishonorable Mention:," KKK official and FDR appointee, Justice Hugo Black, who delivered the Supreme Court opinion taking prayer out of public schools.
