A Tea People's History - funny!
While planting some hemp one day, George Washington discovered an early draft of the Constitution, written in ancient Egyptian on a series of golden plates buried deep within the ground at Mount Vernon. James Madison translated and elaborated on the text, with the help of Thomas Jefferson and an angel. The excited Founders immediately called for a Constitutional Convention to officially ratify the document and formally make America the best country ever.

The Constitution was written with 74 essential guiding principles in mind, based on the principles of Natural Law as laid out by Polybius, Cicero, Thomas Hooker, Coke, Montesquieu, Blackstone, John Locke, Adam Smith, Moses and Jesus. Some of them include:

Principle 6: All Men are created (by God) equal (before God).
Principle 7: The proper role of government is to protect equal rights, not special rights for cross-dressing Wiccans with ADHD and “the differently abled” and every other interest group under the sun.
Principle 10: Property rights are the most important inalienable right of all.
Principle 17: If anything ever goes wrong, it is not because of any flaws in the Constitution or with the Founders.
Principle 20: In fact, if something goes wrong, it is because America has strayed from the original glorious divinely inspired mission of the Founders.
Principle 21: But it’s OK, because they predicted that would happen.

2. No, no, no, he wasn't planting hemp. Wooly-headed Phish fans smoke that shit (thanks, Rich Lowry!)
an upstanding Righteous Christian like George W. (what a name!) wouldn't have anything to do with HEMP.

No, no, he was praying. Praying for the day when god fearing merkins would take the land back from Teh Gays and Birf Control Users.

3. The hemp was for rope...
to hang all those atheist, hippie, tax & spend liberals from the "highest" tree he could find.

They only smoked the rope AFTER it had been consecrated in such a manor. God is cool with that.

:evilgrin:

don't laugh: it's literally what they believe, and Regnery and Tyndale are busy churning out crap
fake history books that say exactly this, like Thomas Sowell (legalize coke and meth!) saying regulation caused the 2008 crash
it's downright Borgesian
