POST 313 THE WISDOM AND GRIT OF GENIUS

Hi,

THIS BLOGGER WONDERS HOW WE CAN PRESUME TO ANALYSE AND UNDERSTAND GEORGE WASHINGTON, A MAN OF GREAT WEALTH AND PROPERTY, WHO DIDN'T NEED TO FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL, ONLY FREEDOM.  THE SAME ANALYZERS COMPLETELY FAIL TO UNDERSTAND THEIR OWN  CURRENT LEADERS AND THEIR INTENTIONS. BUT BE THAT AS IT MAY, IT’S EASIER TO DENIGRATE A DEAD HERO THAN A LIVE ONE--FEWER REPRECUSSIONS.

MOST HEROES OF WAR, INDUSTRY, AND RELIGION ETC. HAVE ONE COMMON TRAIT AND THAT IS A TRAIT THAT NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN AWAY.  A DESIRE TO CHANGE “WHATEVER” TO WHAT THEY CONSIDER BETTER, MORE EQUITABLE, MORE PROFITABLE, MORE ADVANTAGEOUS OR MORE SPIRITUAL. THAT’S A PRE-GIVEN AND THE OTHER TRAITS OF WHICH THEY ARE ACCUSED  DO NOT “AMOUNT TO A ROW OF BEANS”  INCLUDING HAVING  FEARS  OR FEET OF CLAY. THE WEAKNESSES WERE NEITHER HERE NOR THERE IN THE FACE OF THE BURNING DESIRE TO CHANGE WHAT THE HERO  FELT AND INTERNALIZED AS THEIR NUMBER ONE GOAL.

 HEROES ARE MADE OF STERNER STUFF THAN YOU AND ME AND THEY ARE OFTEN WILLFUL, RAMBUNCTIOUS, STUBBORN, FRACTIOUS, TACITURN, PROMISCUOUS AND A NUMBER OF OTHER ADJECTIVES TYPIFYING A FORM OF STRONG LEADERSHIP THAT WILL BROOK NO INTERFERENCE.

 THOSE HEROES, WHO ARE REALLY GREAT AND CREATE HISTORIC MASTERPIECES CAN NOT BE JUDGED BY THE REST OF US.  GEORGE WASHINGTON WAS ONE SUCH MAN AND THOSE WHO TRY ARE SIMPLY “SPINNING THEIR WHEELS” AND SHOWING THEIR IGNORANCE. THEY HAVE NO REAL KNOWLEGE OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE IN THE GRIP OF BRINGING A COUNTRY TO BIRTH. WHAT DOUBTS AND FEARS AND AMBIVIALENCE WE COMMON EVERDAYS CAN CONJOUR UP WOULD HAVE INDEED SPUN THROUGH SUCH A MAN’S MIND AND SIMPLY HAVE TO BE PUT ASIDE IN  THE FACE OF THE BIGGER PICTURE. BEING A HUMAN BEING, HOWEVER GREAT IN MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT, CARRIES WITH IT ALL THE UNDERSTANDING OF A WISE AND CAREFUL LEADER WHICH INCLUDES EXAMINING WHAT COULD AND MIGHT GO WRONG. IF GEORGE WASHINGTON HAD NOT DONE THAT PERHAPS AMERICA’S REAL BIRTH WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE DISASTROUS. IT HAS OFTEN BEEN CALLED THE WISDOM OF GENIUS.

FRANKLY, HISTORIANS WOULD DO BETTER TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT MAKES SUCH A MAN SO DETERMINED TO ACHIEVE WHAT HE FEELS IS RIGHT AND GOOD AND  HOW HE CAN BE  SO PRESCIENT IN THE FACE OF THE CONTROVERSY SURROUNDING HIM.

THERE ARE NOT MANY IN ANY GENERATION WHO CAN ACHIEVE THAT KIND OF CERTAINTY AND SO AFFECT THEIR LIVES AND THE LIVES OF GENERATIONS OF MEN AND WOMEN, WHO PROBABLY NEVER STOPPED TO THINK THAT THEY HAVE WHAT THEY HAVE OF FREEDOM BECAUSE GEORGE WASHINGTON BELIEVED FIRMLY THAT THIS WAS THEIR GOD GIVEN RIGHT AND WAS WILLING TO DIE FOR HIS BELIEF. THAT HE WAS ABLE TO SURVIVE AND LIVED TO BE OUR FIRST PRESIDENT MAKES THE FOURTH OF JULY,  OUR INDEPENDENCE DAY SWEET INDEED.

NEXT TIME YOU ARE BESEIGED BY MODERN DAY WONDERS OF  THE ANALYTICAL STUDY OF THE GREAT HISTORICAL FIGURES , ASK YOURSELF IF IT ISN’T EASIER TO ANALYZE AND MAKE PROCLAMATIONS IN A COOL, COMFY STUDY THAN IT IS TO CLAIM VICTORY ON SOME BATTLEGROUND IN WHICH YOU COULD LOSE EVERYTHING INCLUDING YOUR LIFE.  AND ONLY BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE IT IS RIGHT AND GOOD TO DO SO.

COULD MANY OF US STAND UP AND SAY  YES???????????

WHEN YOU SEE THE HEAT OF THIS POLITICAL BATTLE THIS FALL, UNDERSTAND WHAT GEORGE WASHINGTON FOUGHT FOR AND WON. ASK YOURSELF IF YOU CAN SO EASILY ALLOW THAT PRECIOUS FREEDOM TO BE TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU BY THE SOCIALISTS AND WHETHER EVEN AFTER ALL THIS TIME IF GEORGE WOULDN'T “TURN OVER IN HIS GRAVE” AND SCREAM , “NO, IT’S THE SAME FIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLD FIRM”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! “DON’T GIVE IN TO TYRANNY”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT IS THE SAME FIGHT--THE SAME WAR !!!!!!!!!!!

ENJOY THE “TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT”  THIS FALL BETWEEN THE CANDIDATES, BUT WHEN YOU GO TO THE POLLS IN NOVEMBER  THE REAL DECISION WILL BE:

 FREEDOM     //OR//     TOTALITARIANISM.

MAKE NO MISTAKE HILLARY AND BERNIE AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY NOW REPRESENT TYRANNY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TRUMP AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY NOW REPRESENT FREEDOM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND THAT’S THE ONLY THING THE ELECTION IN NOVEMBER CAN GIVE YOU FOR CERTAIN.

WE KNOW HOW GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD VOTE BECAUSE IT’S THE SAME OLD ENEMY!!!!!!!!!  HE SHARED WITH US THE DETERMINATION OF THE VISION AND WISDOM OF GENIUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DON'T ALLOW THIS TO BE OUR LAST CELEBRATION OF A FREE America !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY AND HAPPY FREEDOM ON THIS FOURTH OF JULY.  !!!!!!!!!!!!

CHEERS, CONNIE
