With the elections over and confidence in our government at an all time low where do we go from here; Sometimes it is best to get back to the basics and look at what made this country a great Nation to begin with…….Let’s start with a few apparently forgotten people.. The founders of this Nation!

John Adams and John Hancock:
We Recognize No Sovereign but God, and no King but Jesus! [April 18, 1775]

" Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime and pure...are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments." [Source: To James McHenry on November 4, 1800.]

Benjamin Franklin: | Portrait of Ben Franklin
“God governs in the affairs of man. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We have been assured in the Sacred Writings that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. I firmly believe this. I also believe that, without His concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel” –Constitutional Convention of 1787 | original manuscript of this speech

James Madison: We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We’ve staked the future of all our political institutions upon our capacity…to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God.” [1778 to the General Assembly of the State of Virginia]

This is but a small sampling of quotes from our Founding fathers; here is one more I found interesting:

“What students would learn in American schools above all is the religion of Jesus Christ.” [speech to the Delaware Indian Chiefs May 12, 1779]

Wow! I wonder who spoke that bit of …………. How about George Washington”.

Do you see a problem here? It would appear to me or any other person with the slightest bit of common sense; that the moral fabric and basis of what this country was founded on is being eliminated & replaced with corruption, greed and plain stupidity.

The Solution? It’s simple; get back to the basics!

I do not claim to be a moral compass or the most religious person in the world, as a matter of fact I believe we probably have to much religion and not enough God, but I see our government getting further and further away from the basics.

Here is a question for you:

If the majority of this country still believe (polls show over 80%) in what the founding fathers believed; why are we allowing a minority of anti-American troublemakers to change it?
