Washington’s Farewell Address first appeared publicly on September 19, 1796. Washington characterized his address as “the disinterested warnings of a parting friend, who can possibly have no personal motive to bias his counsel.” He warned his countrymen to expect “the batteries of internal and external enemies” to be directed against the country. He exhorted his fellow citizens to preserve their union to gain “greater security from external danger, a less frequent interruption of their peace by foreign nations,” and to avoid civil wars. Anticipating Eisenhower’s warning issued more than a century and a half later, Washington noted the danger of “those overgrown military establishments, which under any form of government are inauspicious to liberty, and which are to be regarded as particularly hostile to republican liberty.” Washington also warned that “love of power and proneness to abuse it . . . predominates in the human heart.” His view of human nature informed his counsel on foreign policy.

Whoever says that America has never had trouble with Muslims forgets the fact that Jihadis were enslaving, torturing and murdering Americans from the days of our War of Independence. We went into debt to create a navy and Marine Corps to fight these faithful Muslims into a temporary setback and a treaty of peace (which was later broken by them).
"The idea that [Muslims] hate us because of what we're doing in "their region" also founders on the fact that it wouldn't be "their region" at all had it not been for a series of aggressive jihad conquests against peoples who were not waging war against the Muslims or threatening them in any way.
"As The History of Jihad shows, there have been 1,400 uninterrupted years of jihad conquest, and never a period in which there were cordial relations of mutual respect between Muslim and non-Muslim political entities, based on the non-Muslim entities' good behavior in staying out of "their region."

"NGOs are now planning a color revolution in the United States using Americans’ tax money. The Rockefeller, Koch, Soros foundations intend to break us. And they have a trillion a year to spend using our repurposed tax money."

Why not destroy the world's political and historic realities with deluded politically-correct fantasies and call them Truth?
"A feminist historian argues William Shakespeare did not write his famous plays and sonnets. The real author was a black Jewish woman, she claims.
Irene Coslet makes the assertion in her new book “The Real Shakespeare: Emilia Bassano Willoughby,” published by Pen and Sword Books, according to The Telegraph."
