“In his farewell Presidential address to the American people, George Washington gave the country some very excellent advice, most of which subsequent generations, including our own, have ignored. Here are two pieces of rejected advice from Mr. Washington: ‘Avoid entangling alliances’ and ‘No political parties.’ Disregarding both of these has caused tremendous difficulties for the country, cost taxpayers trillions of wasted money, and has divided the country, probably irreparably. But we were warned. Let’s examine Mr. Washington’s words of wisdom: 1) Washington was intelligent enough to recognize that ‘alliances’ sometimes must be made; indeed, America might never have become an independent country without an ‘alliance’ with France. But it’s the ‘entangling’ part that is dangerous, and if you can say ‘NATO,’ then you should be able to understand what Mr. Washington meant.” (03/04/25)
