The Greatest Americans: George Washington's Farewell Address

De: George Washington

Narrado por: Robin Field

....a solicitude for your welfare, which cannot end but with my life, and the apprehension of danger, natural to that solicitude, urge me, on an occasion like the present, to offer to your solemn contemplation, and to recommend to your frequent review, some sentiments which are the result of much reflection...and which appear to me all-important to the permanency of your felicity as a people…interwoven as is the love of liberty with every ligament of your hearts, no recommendation of mine is necessary to fortify or confirm the attachment...."

Written near the end of his second term as president, Washington's Farewell Address is more than the empty jargon of a politician – it is nothing short of the heartfelt concern of a gentle leader for his people's continuing welfare.

TRUTH

I wish Washington's Farewell would go viral with Americans. It's literally the blueprint to make it back or reverse course but also the way forward.
Political Parties are ruining and ending this country. And for all those godheads, God does not do policy. Nor does God show up at Congressional hearings, insurrections, elections, domestic terrorist outings... anyone in govt who utters God told them or directs them to divide & destroy an entire country+ is using it to fool all of you for their own gain. God is only present in the good deeds (and hearts) that humans do for one another, never in the mouths of those who would kick you out of the way to buy stocks whilst blaming you for all the ills of a nation of which they've willingly abandoned it's most basic and important tenets/principles then worked hard at telling you they do not work.
This nation has put a lack of gratitude, boredom, spite, desired ignorance, a need to feel personally special or powerful and a longer than good run since WWII above all founding principles (and their countrymen) which made it not perfect but already great.
Getting to principles before personalities, actually reading the Constitution, truthful knowledge of civics...
Washington too felt we would not last but thankfully he didn't sit around all day snail mailing and waxing poetic opinions whilst doing absolutely nada. Nope, they just complained, a lot.

Washington's is the only president to date who remained a GDI. I wish independence was contagious.

this book shines a bright light on the brilliance and the foreknowledge of our greatest president.

George Washington was certainly our greatest president and obvious archetype. sadly as he gave so many clear warnings with precision based logic and almost a prophetic for knowledge, we have not really held his warnings or heated them. the narrator does a brilliant job and as I listen to this book it's as if I can see our greatest leader all those years ago standing before me and everyone around in congress. an excellent read.
