Since Washington's Farewell Address is frequently totally misconstrued as to its meaning I wonder which false impression you are hanging your hat upon?

It is NOT a call to NEVER get involved in foreign affairs or an Isolationist policy. It WAS written to deter involvement with the French in European Wars as the Jeffersonians wished to do. Mainly it is a condemnation of Jeffersonians' foreign policies AND any thought of secession.

LOL.

At least have the courage of your fellow travelers to say that George Washington's wisdom is "living" like the New Deal Conservationist that you are.
