Democrats Road Map to Tyranny: Ignorance and Vice



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.
