Changing the Character of our Country

In George Washington's farewell address to the Nation, among many things, he also addressed Party Politics as follows... "...I have already intimated to you the danger of parties within the State... This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature., exists under different shapes in all governments... But in those of the Popular form it is in its greatest rankness and it is truly their (our) worst enemy... It serves to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administrations... It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and False Alarms... It opens the doors to foreign influence and corruption.... Thus the policy and the will of our county are subjected to the will of another." Further on, in his address to the nation, he said: "...that country has the right to concentrate your affections. The name of America, which belongs to you in national capacity, must exalt the just pride of patriotism more than any application derived from local discrimination. After reading these comments, one must now take note of how our nations will is being subdued by Party Politics. Today we are all Americans, but far too many are willing to be addressed as Hyphenated Americans. Even worst, many of our citizens of today are more trusting of other nations, such as the United Nations. My question is why has it become so popular for so many of our people to be disloyal to our Country? Many are, in this day crying out for change. These cries are not coming from the Educated, but the Unionized Socialistic School that has been fostered on this Nation by the Democratic Party. In their present state of ignorance, not knowing what change holds for them or this country, they cry out in blissful glee for Change! I am also worried that in our blindness we rushed to give the 18 year old's of this nation the right to vote. It has to be apparent to the informed citizens, that our trust in this group has been misappropriated by those who would call for Change! This has to be readily apparent to all but the most ignorant of our now Public and Socialistic Orientated High School dropouts.
