No, George Washington doesn’t live in America anymore. But unless We the People can find someone of his kind to return, they are doomed as Amerika.
Among the most poignant problem America faces today is that George Washington doesn’t live there anymore. Washington went out when they turned off the lights taking altruism, patriotism, persistence, decency and honesty with him, and his kind has been replaced with career politicians willing to rip off America for everything for which she stands, if only to get into the public trough.
The ideal of George Washington is gone with the wind; an ideal replaced by politicians who lie, steal, fundamentally transform, and ones who gain and keep public office by pandering to the same ‘minorities’ they create.
Like a plague that keeps going the rounds, the worst of the latter day politicians (Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush) keep coming back. They keep coming back because they have the ego, the greed and the money to do so.
I’m lukewarm on this. I used to think Washington was a great President. Now, I think he was a very good General, but as a President, he acted just like the officers of George III that he displaced. The wicked acts of suppression of the Whiskey Rebellion was just more of the same: a tax-and-spend government using force to take from the people what doesn’t belong to the government.
