“Mr. President, Tho’ I am truly sensible of the high Honour done me in this Appointment, yet I feel great distress, from a consciousness that my abilities & Military experience may not be equal to the extensive & important Trust: However, as the Congress desire it I will enter upon the momentous duty, & exert every power I Possess In their service & for the Support of the glorious cause…I beg it be remembered by every Gentn in the room…I do not think myself equal to the Command I am honoured with…”

Commander George Washington,
Address to the Continental Congress, June 16, 1775

George Washington did not think himself a great man. He thought himself no more than a farmer lacking sufficient skills to win a war that would create a free nation. He wrote to Martha on June 18, 1775, telling her Congress had raised an army he was to command for “…the defense of the American Cause shall be put under my care…” Washington’s letter is a heartfelt letter from a husband missing his family he longs to be home with, “But, as it has been a kind of destiny that has thrown upon me this Service, I shall hope that my undertaking of it, is designed to answer some good purpose…” Washington, though not confident in his skills as a commander, believed destiny was a duty called upon all to serve in some way.

Washington wrote Burwell Bassett on June 19, 1775, telling Basset that commanding the Continental Army was “…an honour I by no means aspired to…” but describing himself as not having the capacity or experience to lead. He never wanted to be a great general or leader of a nation; he longed to be a farmer, living quietly at Mount Vernon. The 1775 letters show a humble man unsure if he is worthy of serving his nation, but believes no matter what, he must answer the call to defend freedom: “May God grant therefore that my acceptance of it (the command) be attended with some good to the common cause…” Despite self-doubt and insecurity, Washington knew he would never have the life he truly desired if he did not step up and answer the cause to end tyranny in America.

During 1775, tyranny reigned in America; it was destroyed by the end of the century with the defeat of the British and signing of the Constitution. George Washington never imagined, after many lost battles and long years of fighting, that he would lead his army in decisive battles, defeating the most powerful army on earth. Nor did he conceive he would become America’s first leader: “…the most important & flattering call of my Country…” He told John Langdon on April 14, 1789.


How different Washington’s words sound in comparison to the pompous, inflated community organizer, who can’t speak without interjecting “I,” “Me,” and “My” into every sentence of every arrogant speech delivered more often than a junk mail.

Washington’s first inaugural address told Americans he was appreciative, emotional, and thankful. He accepted the office of president out of “…obedience to the public summons…” Nowadays leadership is not accepted but bought with bribes of free rent, medicine, amnesty, and money handouts from a president promising everyone a job. Is that before or after employers are bankrupted from excessive taxes and union dues?

Leadership today is not obedience to the call of serving one’s nation but self-serving one’s pork fed ego. Washington would be appalled to see tyranny once again reigns as modern liberals are dismantling the Constitution he helped frame and sign, while ripping liberty and freedom from Americans and replacing it with tyrannical equality.

Washington fought a war he felt incapable to help lead, but he said yes to defending liberty and destroying tyranny, and did so to the best of his ability, which turned out to be great. Today Washington is lowered to being a slave owning terrorist who can’t hold a candle to the water-walking Obama, now America’s new Founding Father of Chicago Marxism and socialist supremacy.

Today’s school children do not read Washington’s letters, speeches, personal diaries and prayers. Children are led to believe Washington was a Cherry chopping liar and Indians would be free to roam casino-less wilds if he did not help win a war of independence against Britain. How sad Indians must be forced to collect billions from slot machines.

On December 29, 1790, Washington wrote to the Seneca Nation and Six Nations, telling them he would secure their land for them, that no one had the right to their land unless the Seneca’s wanted to sell it themselves. He asked for peace between the Indians and settlers, that all were one nation and he desired friendship amongst all Americans.

How evil and tyrannical is that!

Today’s children are taught men like Washington did not found this nation on God or pray to HIM despite writings proving otherwise. Children are forbidden to read the truth about the great Founders. If they did, they would discover the Founders hated slavery, but could not yet abolish it because the nation was not stable enough to fight another war against itself. Children today, as well as adults, do not realize many northern blacks owned slaves. We do not discuss that fact: Africans sold their own people to traders and traders actually sold blacks to blacks (wallbuilders.com).

History is rewritten in order to appease blacks and Hispanics indoctrinated to hate whites. How sad black children do not know George Washington fought alongside great black men who helped free this nation. Some of our Founders were black preachers, all friends and mentors to our white Founders (wallbuilders.com).

Obama, Sharpton, Jackson, Reverend Wright, and Van Jones are preaching hate into the minds of black Americans they want rising up as Marxists, creating a tyrannical government forbidding freedom and liberty to all.

What Americans need, and must do, is read our Founder’s writings. They were both white and black (wallbuilders.com); they fought tyranny in order that we would live free from men who seek power to destroy.

Washington said these words of our nation in his first inaugural address:

“…to the Great Author (God) of every public and private good…No People can be bound to acknowledge and adore the invisible hand, which conducts the Affairs of men more than the people of the United States. Every step, by which they have advanced to the character of an independent nation, seems to have been distinguished by some token of providential agency (God)…to the benign parent of the human race…[H]e has been pleased to favour the American people, with opportunities for deliberating in perfect tranquility…for deciding [a unanimous] form of Government, for the security of their union…advancement of their happiness…this divine blessing…the wise measures on which the success of this Government must depend.”

Tyranny cannot overtake America unless we allow it to. Freedom will reign as long as one person answers the call to defend America to the best of his or her ability.
