Speaking of George Washington, he warned the country of political parties in his farewell address, as he always remained independent (although he sided with the Federalists on most issues), and allowed members from the major parties at the time in his cabinet.
What party do you associate with? I personally identify as an independent (not a political party, be funny if it were), although I don't necessarily condemn folks who join a political party.George Washington wrote:"However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."
BTW that thing is making good progress if you know what I mean, this is some top secret shit.
