More on Wisdom of Washington:


The 22nd line of Washington’s Farewell Address reads as follows: The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty. 

  • When we see the self-promotion of President Obama, the irrational hope both poor and rich have put in him, and the assault of his adminstration on our Constitutional liberties, we realize the accuracy of Washington’s ability of prediction… and we’d best listen to his words of warning.
