yeah it's always had its problems (Washington put down a tax rebellion in 1794, only a decade after successfully fighting in a tax rebellion himself), but that doesn't mean we shouldn't fight to make it what it really ought to be.
Most of the founding fathers weren't Masons, but the founding documents definitely reek of enlightenment retardation, and have proven that they were unfit to protect the country. Post civil war, americans havent spent a single drop of blood to protect their vaunted freedom from their own government, meaning that america as an idea has been dead for over a century.
Even the ones who were, might not have been quite like modern masons. There's some interesting letters in Washington's archived papers where he's corresponding with a mason in Europe who warns him about this new group from Bavaria called the illuminati that had started taking over European mason lodges in 1776.
