Earlier this week, the nation celebrated the 150th
anniversary of the Gettysburg Address. President
Barack Obama, of course, had to place himself center stage by omitting “Under
God” in his recitation of that famous speech.
His irreverence should be no surprise to anyone who pays attention. He and his minions attack Christians and
their religion every chance they get.
Progressives have been successful at rewriting
history. Their god, FDR, is a poignant example
of that. So far, they have also been
successful at expunging God and Christ from our schools and the public square;
even to the point of denying that our founding fathers were Christians and that
they envisioned the United States as a Christian nation.
Progressives can deny this all they want, but we
have the documents to prove it. The first
Continental Congress unanimously voted for the Suffolk Resolves. One of those provisions claimed they were
Protestant Christians:
10. That the late act of parliament
for establishing the Roman Catholic religion and the French laws in that
extensive country, now called Canada, is dangerous in an extreme degree to the
Protestant religion and to the civil rights and liberties of all America; and,
therefore, as men and Protestant Christians, we are indispensubly obliged to
take all proper measures for our security.
Samuel Adams, widely considered the Father of the Revolution,
wrote that Americans have a religious duty to defend their liberties. Here is an excerpt that was published in the
Boston Gazette on October 5, 1772:
Is it not High Time for the People of this Country
explicitly to declare, whether they will be Freemen or Slaves? It is an important Question which ought to be
decided. It concerns us more than any
Thing in this Life. The Salvation of our
Souls is interested in the Event: For
wherever Tyranny is establish’d, Immorality of every Kind comes in like a
Torrent. It is in the interest of
Tyrants to reduce the people to Ignorance and Vice. For they cannot subsist separately; and
therefore they rise and fall together.
For this Reason, it is always observable, that those who are combined to
destroy the People’s Liberties, practice every Art to poison their Morals. How greatly then does it concern us, at all
Events, to put a Stop to the Progress of Tyranny.
And that pretty much describes the strategy of the Democratic
Party.
