George Washington on Unity of Government
This is a quote from George Washington’s Farewell Address in 1796. “The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquillity at home, your peace abroad, of your safety, of your prosperity, of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that from different causes and from different quarters much pains will be taken, many artifices employed, to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth, as this is the point in your political fortress against which the batteries of internal and external enemies will be most constantly and actively (though often covertly and insidiously) directed, it is of infinite moment, that you should properly estimate the immense value of your national union to your collective and individual happiness; that you should cherish a cordial, habitual, and immovable attachment to it; accustoming yourselves to think and speak of it as of the palladium of your political safety and prosperity; watching for its preservation with jealous anxiety; discountenancing whatever may suggest even a suspicion that it can in any event be abandoned, and indignantly frowning upon the first dawning of every attempt to alienate any portion of our country from the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties which now link together the various parts.”
The current administration and the current congress (mostly Democrats, but not exclusively) are running from and constantly changing their methods and tag lines, but not their agenda. The Obama Administration, the Congressional Leadership are nothing more than Ideologues (an advocate of some ideology), Statists, Grievance Culture, Progressives, Liberals, Populouses, these people by any other name remains the same; they have an agenda outside of the U.S. Constitution.
Some statists call their political beliefs populism, socialism, or communitarianism. At the extreme, undemocratic end of the statist spectrum. Most are currently calling themselves Populous, because they believe it offers the best cover for their agenda. They believe the Constitution is a Living Document, to be modified, changed, disguised, altered into anything that perpetuates their agenda. An agenda with no similarity to our Constitution and founding.
The more you understand their agenda, their plan, their vision or their desire for America, you will see no similarity to the America we have had and known for these past 234 years. Firstly and lastly, understand we can not work with Progressives, the only answer is to remove and defeat them at every opportunity.
Remember what our first President said: “…it is easy to foresee that from different causes and from different quarters much pains will be taken, many artifices employed, to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth, as this is the point in your political fortress against which the batteries of internal and external enemies will be most constantly and actively (though often covertly and insidiously) directed, it is of infinite moment, that you should properly estimate the immense value of your national union to your collective and individual happiness…”
Even our Founding Fathers new and understood we would be under attack from without and from within. There is nothing less than our Country’s Existence at stake (WAKE UP-PLEASE).
