*_I get your point but Congress will NOT LISTEN; and, if they listen, they will NOT HEAR._* Rather, this should be listened to by EVERY LEGAL American Citizen, particularly by our young, developing Citizens who are now attending GOVT EDUCATION CAMPS, and, those elsewhere. [Yes, of course, my comment is a dream, but, so was the dream of liberty ... by the American Colonists in 1775. Dreams, with time and effort, can be made to come true.]
I personally think people back then were more intelligent than those of today. They may not have had the technology but they were thinkers, they didn't have all the artificial stimulus which we have today. They seemed to realize that in a free society, just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do it. It's about responsible self governing. A Native American once said, "All this talk about human rights, but none mention responsibility"
+Michael Bates We're inundated with too much information these days. Which comes with an overwhelming amount of distraction, exposure, and misinformation. It's a recipe for disaster. It actually shouldn't come as a surprise that people are much less intelligent today than they were back then. It makes sense.
***** I know the secret to reverse the course of deintelligence. Make babies. Make them take school extremely serious as if it were food or sleep. But especially elementary school and middle school. Make them do homework and make them study for test. Make them a Aplus student from kindergarden to 8th grade. Never buy a computer and never use internet in your house. Tv is okay. But no internet okay??? Second step is make them play 1 sport that requires alot of running for them. Like soccer or basketball or swimming. 3rd step is do not feed them fast food or microwave stuff. Give em lots of chicken rice beans fruits veggies and icecream and cookies. 4th step. Always make em do 1 hour of extra homework. You create the problems or you can buy a book. When they reach highschool they will be so great at school they will find there own way. Oh of course never do drugs. Except for weed and beer. Butnnever do it more then 4 times a month.
Derrick Beltran Well said. Here's the thing, people get caught in a dangerous habit of regurgitating the age-old "well, it's the same with every generation. Every generation always longs for the past and thinks the past was better than the present". While that may be true, there are pretty stark differences between how people act today and how they did back then. They're difficult to ignore. People are lazy in their thinking, they're shallow, mean, greedy, too individualistic, etc. There are big shifts taking place with respect to how Americans act these days and how they acted just 20, 30 years ago... it's reflected in the music, the entertainment, the culture.
***** nah youre absolutely incorrect in your assesment of the situation hindering our pregression. The people pushing it down pur throats are the soldiers who should be taken out of town. They create the culture and talking points. Thry will not leave us be. They are going to murder us. They already scare the sanity out of our woman and some men. Its a creeping crawling slow acting fast moving action to destruction of us.
Wow. Just simply beautiful. This is a voice of the man who preserved, lived to see the fruit of his work and them humbly gives over the power to the people at that time. How tired he must have been. This should be studied with the constitution and Bill of rights In every American school . Thank you for uploading this.
He refused the office many times, stating that what they were asking of him would come at great personal sacrifice, and that he just wanted to live in peace on his farm. His sense of duty was strong, and after he saw how many people were asking him, he accepted. He could've shaped the office any way he wanted, and stayed president for life, and nobody would've tried to stop him, but he didn't. In this farewell address, he reiterates what he had said in the beginning, that he didn't think he was qualified for it, and he adds that he doesn't expect the people to take his advice, it shows he had the presence of mind to know people would follow it to the letter, but knew he wasn't infallible. I swear, history proves this fact time and time again. The people that are the most fit to wield power and lead nations, aren't interested in doing that. It's hilariously sad. A great leader knows they arent flawless, understands the responsibility, and has only the interests of his people in mind. Unfortunately, it just so happens that if they have those qualities, they'll never think that they can do it, because their standards are high as they should be, the power doesn't attract them but burdens them. It attracts those that are ignorant, act in they own self-interest, and that are undeservedly confident to the point of arrogance.
What makes presidents that have been elected since George Washington, think that they are any wiser than he was. He makes a lot of key points that could make for a great modern day president.
The American Party founded in SC of the year 2014 is based from this speech. If Guy Furay makes it into Congress we will have a man who follows the ideals of George Washington.
I think that the patriots of today must look back at the patriots and forefathers of the past to gain strength and inspiration to do the work for liberty, justice, and truth; as was done in the past.
Derrick Beltran you have NO clue "You do well to wish to learn our arts and ways of life, and above all, the religion of Jesus Christ. These will make you a greater and happier people than you are. Congress will do everything they can to assist you in this wise intention; and to tie the knot of friendship and union so fast, that nothing shall ever be able to loose it... And I pray God He may make your Nation wise and strong."
I would like to share a dream I recently had. I hope that any patriots or people around the world that read this dream, that it brings the same peace and encouragement that it brought to me Thanks in advance. The dream starts out that I was in a stadium standing in the bleachers. I was surrounded with many other people I didn’t know. There wasn’t a game going on, and no one on the field but we were all in this stadium together. It was twilight. I was clutching close to my chest, a folded American flag in the triangle shape. I was holding it so hard to my chest in the dream. I don’t know why we were all there, but it was kind of like, an end of the road type scenario. Everyone was heartbroken that America was falling but then, Everyone in the stadium began to sing the Star-Spangled Banner together and it was like for the first time ever, I was truly hearing and understanding the meaning behind the words. I truly understood the lyrics and the power behind them. I started sobbing so hard in the dream. I could feel the tears flushing down my cheeks as I was singing and hearing everyone else singing. But then the dream shifted and I was in this small area like a cabin area or something. But the way the environment looked it looked like we were on a boat/ship from the 1700’s inside of the cabin area. The walls were made of stained pine shiplap. When I looked down, I saw a table that kind of looked like the Pac-Man video game table at Pizza Hut when we were kids. It was like a vintage arcade table. And sitting with me, is George Washington. I saw him. Truly, and completely in his real form. It was him. I looked down at the arcade table and what I saw was this. It looked as though I was viewing one of those cheap cell phone games a kid would download to play on your phone. I looked down into this arcade scene, and I saw a group, or like a hoard of characters that were tan colored. I knew right away they represented our middle eastern enemies and this group of tan colored characters were chasing after a group of gray colored characters and they were trying to overcome them. It was the bad guys against the good guys. You could see that the bad guys outnumbered the good guys and that they were about to overcome all of them. It was like this onslaught against the good guys. But then I looked up at George Washington and he took off his hat and he looked at me kind of like the exact same way you see him looking on the one dollar bill, where it looks like he’s almost kind of smiling, but not? only in the dream he had a little bit more of an upturn curve on one side of his mouth so that you knew he was smiling for sure. It was this confident, humorous smirk. He looked at me with this smirk and before I went back to watching the arcade table he said, “watch this”. He took off his hat, and he lowered his hat and his hand and his arm down to the surface of this arcade table and it’s like his arm and hat and hand became cartoon like just like the video game. He placed his hat right in between the onslaught of the tan colored villains and the gray colored good guys that were trying to escape the onslaught and he blockaded the tan colored characters. They started to become all discombobulated and crashing into his hat and each other and bouncing off of each other and it was quite comical. It was so funny that I began laughing so hard in the dream that I actually woke myself up laughing because of how they looked. I felt all sadness and fear melt away. It was such a reassuring, lighthearted, comical ending to the dream. but I’m telling you the truth. I literally saw him in his true form. In the most perfect detail. And he was so confident. I wish I could show you how his face looked. This dream was completely out of left field, completely unexpected. But he made me feel safe with how confident and humorous he was. He rekindled my spirit to be brave against the enemy. My dad read my dream and his response is very important for Patriots to hear. He said, “It does give you a sense that the father of this great Nation is still watching over us. In my opinion He is saying "Have no fear, we've been divided before". Right will win out in the end over the forces of evil. During the Revolutionary War Patriots were outnumbered by the Tory's and the British by about 60/40. But we still prevailed. We were divided in the Civil War, but we came back together. "Malice towards none" as Lincoln put it. So, it can be done. Lisa if you get a chance. Read George Washingtons Farewell Address and Lincolns 2nd Inaugural Address. Always Pray and have Hope. Love you, Dad.” God bless America and defend her always.❤🇺🇸
I knew I was a smart kid. Ever since I was like 8 and I read his letter I knew we were going to stay divided. This is the big thing coming for America I believe and the government is scared AF. Everybody vote independent and I bet you the news outlets disappear for a while or all come together and start back lashing. 😂
Warned about staying out of foreign affairs and warned about the two party system.... Know staying totally out of foreign affairs is unrealistic but we never listened on the two party system 😊 that's why this country is messed up right now
How far we have strayed from imminent wisdom of our founding father. This document is as important as the Bill of Rights and Constitution especially in our foreign affairs and Amendment zeal. Honesty is the best policy. I see this wisdom and capriciousness in Gov. Ron Desantis and in some sense DJT.
Every nation still exists INDEPENDENTLY of the political entity that has ruled or is currently ruling it. This is why there APPEAR to be these sorts of discrepancies when there are really none. Just missing nuance. Even moreso, the nationstate(s) may change, but the PEOPLE make the Nation, and cannot be divided from the Nation in a true, fundamental HUMAN sense. One Nation Under God.
I get what you are saying regarding societal fundamentals --- you are, from my experience of reading comments, one of the few people who do get it --- and, largely, I agree, but, you are incorrect in some facts ... and may need to make a few important changes. Most critically: "Every nation still exists INDEPENDENTLY of the political entity ..." Uhhh ... no. Historically, there was more truth in this statement, but, in our modern times, mostly in Western-style NATIONS, this is hardly the universal case. In our USA, for example, yes, the NATION and the GOVT are DISTINCT entities --- such was clear to our Founders and Framers even before our 2nd Continental Congress --- but, they are HARDLY INDEPENDENT; rather, they are related DIRECTLY, as We The People, that is, the American NATION --- in theory, at least --- ELECT-CONTROL our GOVT; not the other way around. IOW: there is no GOVT that just comes in, INDEPENDENTLY, and takes control. We The American People, instead, make it happen. [Yes, I understand, this is the way, by our Founders and Framers, it was intended and designed, but, there can be arguments refuting largely this notion. Such is the run and roll of things, in actual practice, in democracies.] [Note: there is actually a MUCH DEEPER and FUNDAMENTAL reason why, particularly here in our USA, these two entities are NOT INDEPENDENT, but, I will not go into that here and now. Hint: it all has to do with TRUE democracy.] Further: it's not clear to me what you mean by "Just missing nuance." Hmmm ...? Further, again: "Even more so, the nation-state may change, but the PEOPLE make the Nation, and cannot be divided from the Nation in a true, fundamental HUMAN sense. Actually, again, I get your point about NATIONS, typically, being, long-lived, but, throughout ALL of recorded human history, NATIONS, on a large time scale, have changed-evolved repeatedly and continually; and, the STATE [read: the GOVT] has changed much more rapidly. Last item: "One Nation Under God." Absolutely correct ... as emphasized in our OFFICIAL NATIONAL MOTO: In GOD We Trust". Nonetheless, good comment. The truths you wrote made me think a bit more than usual.
This man's reading inspires me...to make my own recording. Until now, I never would have considered such a thing, but after forcing myself to listen to him drone on to the point where I became almost comatose, I realized that, compared to him, I am a veritable Desmosthenes, This reader is TERRIBLE. If you didn't pay attention, you might think he was reading the weekend soccer scores for lower Transylvania. Well, fortunately there are better readings--there are none worse--and I will find them in addition to making my own recording. Poor George. First you have to share your birthday with all of the other Presidents--including Obama--and now your farewell address is read by a zombie.
athensthens, Thanks, your posting drew me back, and while I was here I read my words again. Not bad, but I was inspired by the reading. Come to think of it, I've heard many bad readings from this company's portfolio as well as from the offerings of another similar company. I guess they're just trying to be democratic. It wouldn't do to have a professional reader. Just imagine how bad that would make the untalented millions feel.
Passive aggressive but I like it! Had to read Washington's address for an assignment in school... listening to this for 38 minutes made me want to jump out a high window.
Inspired rant alright, but six years hence and alas, there is still no alternative offered on your side. It be interesting to hear. The men of old sure had a way with words often lost on us today, these times where people hardly can read and write, and use pocket calculators for the simplest estimates
LOL, I actually thought this reading was a little better than another one with a lot of views that I had to stop listening to. In that other reading the guy is speeding through Washingtons long sentences and can barely catch his breathe. In this one the guy reads at a more correct pace that I imagine is closer to how Washington would have read it.
If you don't want to hear or read this, then you should do some serious introspection! America's youth is suppose to be the future of this country,...... This is step 1: The History of this GREAT country founded by this GREAT man.
Besides the fact the reader is a drone, I also have a hard time focusing and taking this seriously when the speech uses words like "intercourse" followed by "sea-men of the north".
Can we just take a moment and stand back in awe at just how right and ahead of his time George Washington was, especially in this address?
Not ahead of his time history has repeated itself time and time and time again
However yes he was a smart man I stand In Awe
I suggest that this be played at moderate speaking tone in the offices and hallways of congress 24/7
*_I get your point but Congress will NOT LISTEN; and, if they listen, they will NOT HEAR._* Rather, this should be listened to by EVERY LEGAL American Citizen, particularly by our young, developing Citizens who are now attending GOVT EDUCATION CAMPS, and, those elsewhere. [Yes, of course, my comment is a dream, but, so was the dream of liberty ... by the American Colonists in 1775. Dreams, with time and effort, can be made to come true.]
They wouldn’t be able to comprehend what was being said. Politicians are just ignorant nowadays.
wow! 8 minutes in and I'm overwhelmed by the mans' wisdom,experience,and parental love for his country and people.
Great respect from a Korean. One of the greatest speeches of all time.

Come to think of it, I've heard many bad readings from this company's portfolio as well as from the offerings of another similar company. I guess they're just trying to be democratic. It wouldn't do to have a professional reader. Just imagine how bad that would make the untalented millions feel.
Passive aggressive but I like it!
Had to read Washington's address for an assignment in school... listening to this for 38 minutes made me want to jump out a high window.
Inspired rant alright, but six years hence and alas, there is still no alternative offered on your side. It be interesting to hear. The men of old sure had a way with words often lost on us today, these times where people hardly can read and write, and use pocket calculators for the simplest estimates
Show us your audio recording video, we'd love it!
LOL, I actually thought this reading was a little better than another one with a lot of views that I had to stop listening to. In that other reading the guy is speeding through Washingtons long sentences and can barely catch his breathe. In this one the guy reads at a more correct pace that I imagine is closer to how Washington would have read it.
This man will never receive the respect and reverence he is due
And also today is the day that American patriots must rel right the ship of America
Who else is required to read this but don't feel like reading
I'm reading along as I watch
If you don't want to hear or read this, then you should do some serious introspection! America's youth is suppose to be the future of this country,...... This is step 1: The History of this GREAT country founded by this GREAT man.
School work
I love what he said and indulge it myself. I just dont like reading...
yassss
George Washington, the ideal American.
Washington would form an army and March on Washington if he were alive today. Best believe that. HAPPY JANUARY 6TH
Besides the fact the reader is a drone, I also have a hard time focusing and taking this seriously when the speech uses words like "intercourse" followed by "sea-men of the north".

That's pretty obvious, considering how this election went, and with all the rhetoric over the internet.
Think of his opinions on political parties when you cast your ballots in the upcoming elections.
I love the words of our founder but is he referring to masons.
Sounds like George Washington would not have provoked a war with Russia.
lol unlike somebody (ahem joe biden😝)
The right to conztitute government is marched by the duty to obey government. Hmm. Unity as a protection to liberty. Hmm. This is wisdom.
I suggest this be paraphrased into modern speech for a more clear understanding. Beautiful as it is, it takes too much work to listen to.
It's not that long of a read.
Have a quiz for this tomorrow in APUSH. Yay? Thanks!
Hope you got a A
Talk about a monotone reading.
Bueller Bueller Bueller.

I thought the USA had more than 3.192 civillians...
Awesome speech but damn... listening for this guy drone on for 38 minutes made me want to jump out a window.
Why can't people hear him
it is 9/11 today!
gonna be honest with you, none of this makes sense but thank you lol
@Fiendish Memory no kidding man
He was 33rd degree
Why is that all of the presidents after him ((Lincoln being one exception)) complete shit?!
How dare you impugn the integrity of Millard Fillmore, last of the Whigs!?

You see you have not learned anything from the speech
