Unity or Division?

Unity or Division?
By John Admire

Is the fate of democracy and freedom in America in jeopardy? Is the decline and demise of America inevitable?

These questions contain words, or dangers, few are willing to acknowledge. They are ominous words or thoughts in their rhetoric; they are more so in their possible reality.


Yet, we must address and resolve them. We are perilously and uncomfortably close to squandering the beliefs and values that have made us one in America.

A former Secretary of State was recently asked this paraphrased question: “What keeps you awake at night? Russia, China, communism, terrorism?” The Secretary replied, “None of these. It is America that keeps me awake at night.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (NEXSTAR) — In his famous Farewell Address of 1796, America’s founding father and first president George Washington urged his fellow countrymen to prioritize national unity over political or cultural divisions, and described that unity as a “main pillar” of our independence.
