“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people”
To defend something one must first know what that something is... Our Elected Officials have a very limited understanding of the US Constitution and many of them see it only as an obstacle to be overcome... outdated and obsolescent. Few are interested in defending it, even fewer understand the oath they took to defend it.
However, the principles and precepts contained in our Constitution are timeless maxims... for the establishment of sound government and social justice. Our Constitution was inspired by more than the will of men. It is the fruit of our Christian Fathers, whose very being lived and breathed the essence of God's Word. Those godly men knew what laws and ethics ... what checks and balances ... were needed to restrain the excesses of man. They understood what was needed to create sound and lasting Godly government. Our Constitution is no ordinary document it is the inspired word of God handed down to our forefathers for the purpose of creating one nation under God... with liberty and justice for all.
America is more than the sum of mankind's best... it is God's gift to a faithful people, and the promise of hope to an oppressed world. It established a new world order, in a new world... based on the promise that all men were created equal in the eyes of their creator. However, the current generation has forgotten the source of our liberty, and blinded to the God of their forefathers... this generation has rejected God and with Him the precepts that guarantee liberty.
To defend our constitution one must first believe in its source and its tenants... “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people” It, therefore, takes a moral and religious people to defend it. Wonder no longer as to the reason our elected officials fail to comprehend their oath of office or embody the will to defend it against all enemies... foreign and DOMESTIC. They have forgotten who they are and where they came from.
Update follows:
"A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague." Quote: Marcus Tullius Cicero

Two things Col. Nelson.
The first is a general point in regards to many of your postings. I enjoy them and always look forward to reading them.
The second thing is I hope you do not think me disagreeable when I express a modified view on a central point to your observations. I believe it is important to point out the difference.
The Founders were not necessarily "Godly men." By that I mean they were not perfect, nor were they above any others in their moral character. They were intelligent, yet mere humans as their later lives proved them to be.
The remarkable thing is that God used these men to found this Nation, and not that Godly men did it by following God. We are all dirt, dust, and God initiated the Founding rather than mere men. Washington even stated that the Constitution process was nothing short of a miracle in actually getting these men to agree and then ratifiy what was produced. And it certainly was.
The credit for America's Founding is God's. And we all need to recognize that. And focus on it.
Thank you for posting.
