Re: If Trump gets stripped at the convention-(DON'T BLAME THE ESTABLISHMENT)
George Washington farewell.
concludes with some stark words of warning to his fellow citizens.
Two of these warnings have a special resonance for us today.
The first is his concern for the threat of “overgrown military establishments, which, under any form of government, are inauspicious to liberty, and which are to be regarded as particularly hostile to Republican Liberty.
Washington consistently showed little enthusiasm for the idea of a standing army and often reflected the perspective taken by Madison, Franklin and others, who saw ample historical precedent for the deterioration of a republic into an authoritarian regime when a leader used threats from abroad as a means of augmenting his authority as a military leader
And the second warning was against political parties.
His father's country there were of course the Tories and the Whigs, which had vied for royal favor and power since the time of the Stuarts.
....Washington witnessed The dissonance between Hamilton and Jefferson had torn his cabinet and caused Washington grief.
I got these words from a link that a FreeTheDelegate member showed me.
Again...Trump supporters just intellectualy shutdown and refused to engage in dialogue.
Washington was the first and last American president who could fairly be said to be above partisanship.
That ...is...was...what the fight was about.
Party loyalty KO loyalty to principles
All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
