Liberty can no more exist without virtue and independence than the body can live and move without a soul. -- President John Adams
The Scripture, in concert with our founding fathers, declares that it is the God who raises the dead that had a hand in the establishment and continuing being of America. America is a great nation and is worth the effort to save. This nation has produced more Christians, who have given more time, money and blood to the Lord’s cause that any other nation. But this nation is not great because of its Constitution nor its Declaration of Independence. It is not great because of her political institutions, no matter how unique, nor its powerful military. America is not great because of the ingenuity of her people nor the richness of her of resources. America is great because of the goodness of her people. This goodness is called virtue. Interestingly, the Scripture and our founding fathers both agree that America stands or falls, succeeds or fails solely upon her virtue. Our national fathers defined virtue in religious principles that are solidly grounded within the writings of Holy Writ. America was birthed, weaned and raised upon Judeo-Christian values and how she responds to these values in the present will determine her future. -- Bo Perrin The American Heritage Project
The Pledge of Allegiance
The wording of the Pledge of Allegiance was revised several times over the first sixty-two years, the final change coming in 1954 when President Eisenhower approved the addition of the words “under God.”
President Eisenhower -- “In this way we are reaffirming the transcendence of religious faith in America’s heritage and future; in this way we shall constantly strengthen those spiritual weapons which forever will be our country’s most powerful resource in peace and war”
