CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY FEBRUARY 22, 2023
GEORGE WASHINGTON WAS BORN ON THIS DAY IN 1732. WE USED TO OBSERVE HIS BIRTHDAY, BUT NOW HE’S BEEN INCLUDED IN WHAT WE CALL “PRESIDENT’S DAY.” THAT’S TOO BAD BECAUSE ALL PRESIDENTS ARE NOT EQUAL AND FEW COME CLOSE TO THE FATHER OF OUR COUNTRY.
HERE ARE SOME QUOTES FROM WASHINGTON THAT NOT ENOUGH SCHOOL CHILDREN ARE LEARNING: “IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GOVERN THE WORLD WITHOUT GOD. IT IS THE DUTY OF ALL NATIONS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROVIDENCE OF ALMIGHTY GOD, TO OBEY HIS WILL, TO BE GRATEFUL FOR HIS BENEFITS AND HUMBLY IMPLORE HIS PROTECTION AND FAVOR.”
OR, “THE FUTURE OF THIS NATION DEPENDS ON THE CHRISTIAN TRAINING OF OUR YOUTH.”
THIS ONE HAS MODERN IMPLICATIONS: “ IF THE LAWS ARE TO BE SO TRAMPLED UPON WITH IMPUGNITY AND A MINORITY IS TO DICTATE TO THE MAJORITY, THERE IS AN END PUT AT ONE STROKE TO REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT, AND NOTHING BUT ANARCHY AND CONFUSION IS TO BE EXPECTED THEREAFTER.”
AND THIS: “THE LAST OFFICIAL ACT OF THE GOVERNMENT IS TO LOOT THE TREASURY.” WHAT WOULD HE THINK OF OUR $31 TRILLION DEBT?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRESIDENT WASHINGTON. WE APOLOGIZE FOR WHAT WE ARE DOING TO THE COUNTRY YOU HELPED ESTABLISH. I’M CAL THOMAS.
