The Inspiration of Our Nation

As political battles have been heating up over the last couple years, the morality behind the issues that face our nation has come into the spotlight. One side will say that this country was founded on Christian principles. The other side refutes this and is offended by it. I will let the words of our founding fathers speak for themselves.

"Having undertaken for the glory of God and the advancement of the Christian faith."
-The Mayflower Compact

"This nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religion, but the Gospel of Jesus Christ."
-Patrick Henry

"We recognize no sovereign but God, and no king but Jesus."
-John Adams and John Hancock

"The constitution - a system which, without the finger of God, never could have been suggested."
-Alexander Hamilton

"God, who gave us life, gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their basis?"
-Thomas Jefferson

"To the distinguished character of patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian."
-George Washington

"The birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior."
-John Quincy Adams

The inscription on the Liberty Bell says:
"Proclaim liberty throughout the land and to all the inhabitants therof." Leviticus 25:10

James Madison said that he conceived the three branches of government by inspiration from Isaiah 33:22:

"For the Lord is our Judge [Judicial]. The Lord is our Lawgiver [Legislative]. The Lord is our King [Executive]."

Seeing these quotes from the founders of this country, how can anyone say that this country was founded on anything other than the principles of the Bible? I find it especially interesting to read Thomas Jefferson's quote in light of what's going on in the nation right now. Our liberties are being taken away at the same time that the country is trying to disown the principles we were founded on. Our founders understood this. In the wake of immorality and the struggle for power and control, our current leadership has ignored this.

What will it take for this country as a whole to return to our values that made us great?

Best Billboard Ever

This billboard suddenly appeared along a freeway in Wyoming, Minnesota. No one seems to know who paid for it yet. Reports are also coming out that a second of these billboards has been spotted in Louisiana. Brilliant!!!

It has begun

He isn't even living in the white house yet, but his plans for gradually taking away our freedom has already started. If you listened to Obama's pre-election interviews, he often mentioned Sean Hannity's name with disdain. Voices like Hannity's and Rush Limbaugh's were among the leading voices warning of Obama's reign over this nation. Now Obama gets to have the last word. He will be trying to silence those voices, taking his first step toward taking away freedom of speech...well freedom of speech that isn't praising his name. After all, he is the savior. We should be praising him, right? Well, here's what our savior is up to. Please note that whenever the name savior is used, it is done with absolute sarcasm. Among the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) there is a term called localization, referring to how radio stations need to endorse local radio programs before carrying national syndications in order to keep their license. If a radio station doesn't meet this requirement, the FCC can shut them down. Obama and the rest of the Left wing nut jobs are scheming to make those regulations just a bit tighter, which would put radio stations in fear of airing conservative syndications because if they did, they would be shut down. So now the government will be telling us what opinions we can and cannot listen to. The only reaching across the isle this president will be doing is reaching across to slap a conservative or take money out of their pocket. You want change, America? You got it. And you thought all that socialism talk was just poking fun at a candidate. Is it still funny? Getting funnier?
