General Washington thank you for your service. You truly answered above and beyond and not only do we owe you far more than we could ever repay, but what you did give us we have squandered.

I know personally I pray that once again a man of your caliber would come forth and lead us, but my prayers seem so far be unanswered ones.

I fear the answer is that we have stayed so far that God does not deem us worthy of such a man and my greater fear is my guess is right.

Very well said.

[null and void]

Add to your prayer that he change our hearts so that we may once again be worthy of a leader like Washington.

The next Washington won’t come to us through any of the cultural swamps we’ve bred around this country. The next Washington will be a young man from a two parent home. The next Washington will be a Christian. The next Washington will be homeschooled.

Rather, I should say, the next Washington NEEDS to fit all of these parameters. Americans put so much faith in Bush, because he was an outspoken Christian from an Ivy League school with a (tenuous) military history. In reality, his faith was the only believable, Washington-esque character trait he could claim.

We are a nation without a rudder, and if good men continue to do nothing, the evil will continue to flourish.

God bless this nation.

Then, by passing the Act of 1871, Congress formed a corporation known as THE UNITED STATES. This corporation, owned by foreign interests, shoved the organic version of the Constitution aside by changing the word ‘for’ to ‘of’ in the title. Let me explain: the original Constitution drafted by the Founding Fathers read: ‘The Constitution for the united states of America.’ [note that neither the words ‘united’ nor ‘states’ began with capital letters] But the ‘CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA’ is a corporate constitution, which is absolutely NOT the same document you think it is. First of all, it ended all our rights of sovereignty [sui juris]. So you now have the HOW, how the international bankers got their hands on THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

After the Revolutionary War, Washington went back to his beloved Mount Vernon and did two things, he worked his land and he wrote letters to all he knew to get them involved in finishing the job. The colonies needed cohesion.

It was Washington who wrote, encouraged, counseled, had people over to discuss the building of a new government, and kept everyone informed as to the progress of all their ideas. Over a number of years, he kept up this correspondence of leadership. By the time everyone got together in Philadelphia he was seen as the only person anyone could think of to lead the process, and the only one they could see as their first president. The Office of President was based on his character traits.

He should be rightly called the "Architect of the Constitution."

The ONLY way we can affect positive change for our country is through Jesus Christ. The Founders knew this but we’ve turned to other gods.

Sure didn’t take long for this thread to get hi-jacked.
