How George Washington warned us about what is happening right now

[Murhy]

Washington's farewell address 1796

Washington warns the people that political factions who seek to obstruct the execution of the laws created by the government, or prevent the constitutional branches from enacting the powers provided them by the constitution may claim to be working in the interest of answering popular demands or solving pressing problems, but their true intentions are to take the power from the people and place it in the hands of unjust men.

sounds familiar.

Very much like another wonderful general who became president, and a good Chrisitian patriot, Dwight D. Eisenhower.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

sounds a lot like Obama's "Transformation"

EXCELLENT POINTS ABOUT WASHINGTON ABOVE.


Here is another from Washington's farewell address...

"Foreign attachments are particularly alarming to the truly enlightened and independent patriot. How many opportunities do they afford to tamper with domestic factions, to practice the arts of seduction, to mislead public opinion, to influence or awe the public councils. Such an attachment of a small or weak towards a great and powerful nation dooms the former to be the satellite of the latter"

Typically summed up as

Beware of entangling alliances
​

Stupid, small-time minds now have the US entangled in any number of self-defeating military and trade alliances NONE OF WHICH can be proved to have benefited Main Street.

Its just sad how clear it is that this is happening...and how painfully unlikely it is that things will change.
