There are those that attempt to justify themselves by calling out the faults of our forefathers such as George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin. Yet, the problem they have is that they cannot deny the fruit of Christ through our forefathers. The Spirit bears witness to the truth not the lie. And there is no doubt that the fruit of Christ is found on the branches of these men.

This is an insightful report from Gallup. Even after approximately 50 years of a relentless, all-out, propaganda-filled and often government-backed campaign to demonize America’s Christian foundation and mislead people about the Christian origins of our country, more than three-quarters of Americans still self-identify as Christians.

God gave you and I an amazing gift called rights - rights of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness - and he set Government to protect those rights. Government is supposed to be filled with individuals, who like our veterans, are to sacrifice their “lives, fortunes, and sacred honor” to preserve our rights.

When Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, he explained that our freedoms come from God. “All men are created equal,” he says, and “they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” A nativity display on government property reminds us that all humans have unalienable rights- rights which cannot legitimately be taken away- because these rights come from God.

“Free health care!” “Free cell phones!” “I don’t have to make my car payment any more!” Such were the excited ravings that accompanied the political slogan/promise of “Hope and Change.” Really? Is that all hope and change amounts to…more “free stuff”? Given the opportunity, what would you hope for…for yourself, your family, for America? If you were “King of America” what changes would you make? You may protest and say there is no king in America, but history tells a different story.

In America, crime is encouraged, contrary to God’s judgments. The criminal is allotted three crimes to be committed before America’s justice system deals with him. You know, three strikes and you are out.

There are seven states including Maryland with language in their constitutions that prohibits people who do not believe in God from holding public office. And now, according to a recent New York Times article by Laurie Goodstein, a coalition of nonbelievers including atheists, agnostics, humanists and freethinkers, led and primarily funded by atheist Todd Stiefel, says it is time to get rid of these atheist bans because they are discriminatory, offensive and unconstitutional.

American Exceptionalism. The very term evokes highly charged emotions backed by two very distinct schools of thought diametrically opposed to one another. Rather than adding yet another opinion to the mix, let’s search for principles in our founding documents, ask some questions and define a couple of terms.

Recently, I spoke at a Tea Party in the state of Minnesota and was approached by an individual who said that he was there when I gave “The Prayer that Rocked the Capitol.” I asked him where all of his conservative buddies were that did not stand when they should have stood.

As Godless liberalism has gained ascendancy in America and our heritage has been whitewashed, many Americans don’t know some important facts about our nation’s Christian history. Ben Shapiro at the Revolting Truth shares some important history about Thanksgiving-so important, there wouldn’t have BEEN a first Thanksgiving without these truths.
