Angered The Liberals but Oh So True

No noodle, what's sad is this nation was founded on Christian principles and what has divided us is the attempt to totally erase God from our lives. America is treading on dangerous ground and someday it will come back to bite us. Maybe even in the next 4 years if our resident Muslim gets re-elected and puts his agenda into high gear.

Leftist propaganda has told an entire generation that 'religion' cannot be part of what our government is. Yet, when you look at documents and letters and yes, even the actions of Congress and the Courts you see that 'religion' had a very prominent place in the operation of our system. http://www.wallbuilders.com/LIBissuesArticles.asp?id=46 [i]On January 21, 1781, Robert Aitken presented a "memorial" [petition] to Congress offering to print "a neat Edition of the Holy Scriptures for the use of schools." This is the text of that memorial: To the Honourable The Congress of the United States of America The Memorial of Robert Aitken of the City of Philadelphia, Printer Humbly Sheweth That in every well regulated Government in Christendom The Sacred Books of the Old and New Testament, commonly called the Holy Bible, are printed and published under the Authority of the Sovereign Powers, in order to prevent the fatal confusion that would arise, and the alarming Injuries the Christian Faith might suffer from the Spurious and erroneous Editions of Divine Revelation. That your Memorialist has no doubt but this work is an Object worthy the attention of the Congress of the United States of America, who will not neglect spiritual security, while they are virtuously contending for temporal blessings. Under this persuasion your Memorialist begs leave to, inform your Honours That he both begun and made considerable progress in a neat Edition of the Holy Scriptures for the use of schools, But being cautious of suffering his copy of the Bible to Issue forth without the sanction of Congress, Humbly prays that your Honours would take this important matter into serious consideration & would be pleased to appoint one Member or Members of your Honourable Body to inspect his work so that the same may be published under the Authority of Congress. And further, your Memorialist prays, that he may be commissioned or otherwise appointed & Authorized to print and vend Editions of, the Sacred Scriptures, in such manner and form as may best suit the wants and demands of the good people of these States, provided the same be in all things perfectly consonant to the Scriptures as heretofore Established and received amongst us. After appointing a committee to study the project, Congress acted on September 12, 1782, by "highly approv[ing of] the pious and laudable undertaking of Mr. Aitken." The endorsement by Congress was printed in the Aitken Bible.[/i] http://www.wallbuilders.com/LIBissuesArticles.asp?id=125 [i]What is the origin of the phrase “America is in no sense founded on the Christian religion”? What does it mean? This quote comes from a line in the Treaty of Tripoli from 1797. While this line is regularly invoked by critics in a futile attempt to prove that America never was a Christian nation, this line is only a small incomplete portion of the full quote. It is taken from a 1797 treaty approved by America in the midst of our first War on Terror against Islamic terrorism. In it, the Muslims acknowledged that America was a Christian nation, and America reminded the Muslims that we were not a European Christian nation with an inherent hostility against Muslims – that is, that we were not a European, Middle-Ages type of Christian nation. Those who advance the notion that this was the belief system of the Founders often publish information attempting to prove that the Founders were irreligious. 5 One of the quotes they set forth is the following: The government of the United States is in no sense founded on the Christian religion. GEORGE WASHINGTON Those who attribute the Treaty of Tripoli quote to George Washington make two mistakes. The first is that no statement in it can be attributed to Washington (the treaty did not arrive in America until months after he left office); Washington never saw the treaty; it was not his work; no statement in it can be ascribed to him. The second mistake is to divorce a single clause of the treaty from the remainder which provides its context. It would also be absurd to suggest that President Adams (under whom the treaty was ratified in 1797) would have endorsed or assented to any provision which repudiated Christianity. In fact, while discussing the Barbary conflict with Jefferson, Adams declared: The policy of Christendom has made cowards of all their sailors before the standard of Mahomet. It would be heroical and glorious in us to restore courage to ours. 25 Furthermore, it was Adams who declared: The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were. . . . the general principles of Christianity. . . . I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God; and that those principles of liberty are as unalterable as human nature. 26 Adams' own words confirm that he rejected any notion that America was less than a Christian nation.

Are you kidding me, no one is trying to erase God from you're lives. People are simply trying to keep it out of the law books. The entire reason of the anti-establishment clause is that no one will feel that someone else's religion is being supported. Most pilgrims weren't coming here to be atheist, they came here to worship God as they saw fit, not as the Pope saw fit at the time. The country is no more divided by taking God out of government than it would be by a full on thrust of your "good Christian values" into the government. A church state has never once in history thrived for any period of time. Let religion into government and the country will be divided over laws mandating baptisms. Perhaps if you respect what you're neighbor does on Friday night, they will respect what you do on Sunday morning

This is why I focus on what the communists/socialists agenda is, this is NOT our actual Democrat/Liberal (in historical sense) Party. There are REAL LEFTISTS working here from those ideologies.

Great article Debra. The worst thing that socialism breeds is apathy. An apathetic population produces next to, if not completely, nothing.
