I am often in AWE at the intellect of the framers of our great nation!George Washingtons Farewll address is an awesome read. The warnings and for lack of a better word, premonitions, he writes about are almost chilling. Especially when you look at our current state of union.He warns time and again about Not being devided by parties and to be very watchful for those who will be trying to "Back-door" (my words) our Constitution.The following is a small portion of this Address: If you like this, then read the whole Address at this link.http://wilstar.com/holidays/farewell.htm"All obstructions to the execution of the Laws, all combinations andassociations, under whatever plausible character, with the real designto direct, control counteract, or awe the regular deliberation and actionof the constituted authorities are destructive of this fundamentalprinciple and of fatal tendency. They serve to organize faction, to giveit an artificial and extraordinary force; to put, in the place of thedelegated will of the nation, the will of a party, often a small butartful and enterprising minority of the community; and, according to thealternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administrationthe mirror of the illconcerted and incongruous projects of faction, ratherthan the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by commoncouncils, and modified by mutual interests."-George Washington-19 Sept, 1796
