Makes you wonder about our government...maybe they don't think
about these things.

Ben Franklin: "Only a
virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt, they have
more need of masters."
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 about 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 200 years in this country is now suddenly wrong and
unconstitutional?

read a Bible in school, but they can in
prison?"
