George Washington is generally credited with being the Father of this great nation, as he was not only the successful, resilient, crafty, valiant and ultimately the victorious General and Commander-in-Chief of our revolutionary forces, so too he became the president of the Constitutional convention and by his very presence helped to bring divisive factions together so as to create this Republic and our Constitution. Later, Washington was unanimously elected as our first President of the United States, not once but twice was his electoral vote unanimous, to a position that he did not gravitate to, and subsequently walked away from after serving two successful successive terms. A man like George Washington, seldom graces any land, and America was fortunate to have a man of his character in an era in which most temporal power once achieved, was consolidated and seldom relinquished unless by death, conquest, or revolution.
In Washington's Farewell Address of 1796, he made many points, of which one of them was:"Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness…" Alas, it is regrettable to say that in this present day, a day in which through the pure hubris of man's belief that he alone is the measure of all things, does something as sensible and as meaningful as Washington's parting words to this nation, a nation that was still in its infancy of its ascent to becoming arguably the greatest nation that the world has ever known are his words set aside by so many of the best and brightest ofhigh political office and influence as the mere chattering of a man who foolishly believed insuperstition and mumbo jumbo, to which today words like Washington's are commonly parroted but are not seriously adhered to by the powers to be.
If we were to be wise, we should take Washington at his word, so that those that are not true believers in the value and disposition of religion and morality signified by Washington's address, are clearly not to be considered to have the attributes of a patriot, which in effect, makes them enemies of this very State, that so many sacrificed so much for. In point of fact, the warning in Washington's address is that those that labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness are no patriots, no true Americans, and are in fact, the enemy within. In its more than two centuries of existence, America has never been conquered, yet, like great empires of the past, the erosion of its principles, its values, its morality, its religion, is the very thing that will ultimately conquer it from within.
There are far too many people of influence, that desire this to be a secular nation, to which, the citizens of such, will no longer have unalienable rights, but instead have rights as issued and adjudicated by the State. That is the very thing this country successfully rebelled against, for there is a supreme difference between a nation that receives its unalienable rights and natural law by its true Creator as opposed to the arbitrary dictates of a king, or the privileged elite, or the military-industrial complex, or in obeisance to the oligopoly, which regrettably is the path that we now trod upon.
