Thumbs up What Everyone Should Know

I received the following email from a friend today and thought it was well worth posting on G&G. Some excellent points were made which leads me to believe further that our court system should revisit some of their more recent rulings against having any religious symbols, etc. posted in public places.

Sure, since the the United States of America was founded, thousands if not millions of immigrants who worship religions other than Christianity, have become American citizens. That doesn't mean that Christian principals upon which the country was founded should be eliminated. Please read the following essay as I stand aside and salute those founding fathers of America.

DID YOU KNOW?

As you walk up the steps to the Capitol Building which houses
the Supreme Court you can see near the top of the building a row
of the world's law givers and each one is facing one in the middle
who is facing forward with a full frontal view - it is Moses
and the Ten Commandments!

As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge oak
doors have the Ten Commandments engraved on each lower
portion of each door.

As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see the wall, right above
where the Supreme Court judges sit, a display of the Ten
Commandments!

There are Bible verses etched in stone all over the Federal
Buildings and Monuments in Washington, D.C.

James Madison, the fourth president, known as "The Father of
Our Constitution" made the following statement "We have
staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the
capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each
and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain
ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."

Patrick Henry, that patriot and Founding Father of our country
said, "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this
great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians,
not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ."

Every session of Congress begins with a prayer by a paid
preacher, whose salary has been paid by the taxpayer since 1777.!
Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the Constitution were
members of the established orthodox churches in the colonies.

Thomas Jefferson worried that the Courts would overstep
their authority and instead of interpreting the law would begin
making law....an oligarchy...the rule of few over many.

The very first Supreme Court Justice, John Jay, said,
Americans should select and prefer Christians as their rulers."
How, then, have we gotten to the point that everything we
have done for 220 years in this country is now suddenly
wrong and unconstitutional?
:nod: :right:

The answer is that subtle but heinous evil known as "Revisionism". The Elitists rewrite history and law to fit their pre-conceived ideas and to fit their Liberal Elitist agenda.

Isn't that the truth!:right:

Each session of congress seems to take it upon themselves to "revise" our basic founding principles. Principles just don't change. What's right always remains right. When will they learn? :nod:
