George Washington’s 1796 principled & prescient warning
In this episode, I take a lesson from history by looking at the man Washington in 1796 vs. the bureaucratic Washington of today and how history provides us guidance for 2024 and all future elections.
The discussion brings out the key ways to drive the narrative for this election cycle, speaks to the key policies that we need to be putting forth, buttresses the need to overhaul our National Security, and provides us the insights we need to ensure the resilience and security of our Republic.
Americans are often too myopic, short-sighted, and non-strategic in our thinking. This is a major flaw we must overcome if we are to ensure the resilience and security of our Republic not only for the next two hundred and fifty years but the next millennium. Our faults are amplified by an understandable but dangerous degree of selfishness in which we tend to satisfy our immediate short-term desires and needs while forgoing consideration of our longer-term needs and the inherent risks, benefits, and impacts of our choices.
As we enter this new year, a critically important election year, how and where can we look for guidance on whom to vote for, identify what the real issues are, or set our priorities on what needs to be addressed?
The answer is simple: we need only look to our past to define our future. But in doing so, we must also listen, learn, and apply the lessons from history lest we are doomed to repeat its failures. Our founding father and first President has the answers.
