The Ghost of George Washington
By Ernie Mannix on obama
Big Hollywood
“It’s says; ‘We The People’, Mr. Obama, - not ‘We the Government,’ nor ‘We the Bureaucrat,’ nor ‘We the Department of Everything Pleasant and Unpleasant,’” the rigidly regal legend declared just seconds after materializing in the bedroom. Then, turning towards the window, his eyes widened almost dis-pleasingly, as he surveyed the city given his name.
“Mr. Washington…. President Washington…” said a nervous Obama, “things are different now; I inherited a crisis… we need government to provide for the people, we need government for our banking system, and we need government to protect the quality of life for citizens all around the country.”
The elder tapped his chest with the lightest of touch, gripped his mouth and raised his chin slightly as if holding back an angry torrent of knowledge, his mind seemed to be sifting that knowledge as to politely address the younger man. Then, speaking slowly, he said softly:
“President Obama, I repeat this, not out of rudeness, deafness or ignorance; …it says: ‘We The People’.” He continued to stare away, then metering his words he added:
“Young man you can’t inherit what you yourself are worsening. You are feeding a beast that is and will be the worst of your problems. The Federal Government was not created to serve itself, nor was it created to fix every possible problem citizens and businesses shall encounter. You’re creating a massive bureaucracy, and in that state, how weak will the individual become? How will that national crop of free men grow when they are over tilled, over watered, and trampled by a gaggle of farmers with hands squeezing every young leaf? Individuals forged this nation, down to the my unheralded and blessed man. We created it for the people - that they be unshackled and free, responsible for themselves, so as to not have to give all to a beast that rules. You sir are building a massive beast that must be fed, and it’s very feedings will dismantle the true progress of the people.”
Obama answered; “Yes, but when you guys in Philly created the Articles Of Confederation, you had it all wrong. That was mighty close to anarchy there. Governments can’t run like that.” Then the smiling young president approached the noble apparition as if he were going to slap him on the shoulder.
With a quick turn towards Obama, and with his awesome presence and a piercing gaze, the founding father halted the young leader in his tracks. His eyes had raw power, battle hardened wisdom and true character behind them. He paused, softened - then began:
“And may I ask, where you are taking us now? Our experiment erred at first on the side of freedom. However, you and your brethren are getting mighty close to that failed experiment created by those misguided godless ones from the other side of the globe. The Articles of Confederation sir, were amended and superseded in kind by the incredible document that bears the words that bring me to haunt you on this very night. Our reluctance at seizing federal power illustrates how much we wanted to be unfettered by any notion of tyranny. Then,‘We the People’ led off a document so very carefully thought out, with a mechanism so brilliant, it anticipated even the incredible future that I see here. No crisis you speak of can ever be more caustic or important than the crisis of lost individualism and freedom. The ’we’ in the paper Mister Jefferson drew, was the word that shook kings and rulers the world over. Mr. Obama, this audacity of hope you speak of needn’t encompass the awful audacity of bureaucracy. This Republic serves the people, and your ‘hope’ is but a mere word if you don’t protect true freedom.”
Then for the first time, he raised his voice slightly, not in volume, but in the halting passionate timbre of true emotion;
“And may I add that I know something of crisis sir. Every day away from my wife - men bleeding, dieing, freezing, running and starving. It is not a fictional fuzzy event you just might have read about in a textbook. It was all too damned real. The blood, smell and horror was very real and quite sickening. Those men gave you their all to create what you and your congress seem to ignore here sir. I was rich, as were most of us. We could have laid back and been proper gentry. It could have been easy, …but we chose to be free.
You wondered before you slept why my portrait was haunting you. That crisis, and this nation dear sir were born out of the meaning in those three little words - the words that bring me here to see you.”
Obama was speechless. He was paralyzed with a religious witness to a hard truth in the presence of this living monument and statue.
“I will leave you now,” the great man said. “You have a choice; govern for the people, or govern for the bureaucrats. Feed your people the nourishing bounty of truth and freedom, and they will be given the dignity to learn how to prosper. Feed them the metered bureaucratic sugar of entitlement and you will at best be postponing their doom. Look to your children, look to your freedom, stave off the power mongers and the ones who are nibbling at your ears and pockets. Remember sir; not ‘We the Government’ - ‘We The People’.”
