Americans
are preoccupied with their"rights," but in our preoccupation
with liberty and human
rights, we often miss the mark of exactly where those rights
come from.
A few
months ago Dennis Prager in his column, A
Dialogue With A Secularist, perfectly contrasted a godly
world view and an ungodly one.
The American
Civil Liberties Union has a public agenda, and that agenda
appears to be this: to make the United States in all her public
manifestations reflect an atheist's
view of the nation's founding and continuing existence.
I want
you to close your eyes and picture in your mind the soldier
at Valley Forge, as
he holds his musket in his bloody hands.
While
there have been dozens of rulings striking down Ten
Commandments displays; no ruling has been more publicized
than that against Judge Roy Moore in Alabama.
If ever
there was a subject guaranteed to bring forth a range of opinions
and ideas it is the ever-touchy topic of "Separation
of Church & State."
There
are many topics in History that are not taught as they actually
happened, but as some with an agenda wished they happened.
Here are three that
are particularly offensive.
Every
summer as the Fourth of July approaches, I'm struck by how
inadequate a label "Independence
Day" is.
In today's
day and age we walk on eggshells in public education to not
cross the line between church and state. In our rush to be
politically correct, it might be worthwhile to pause and take
a look at the roots of public
education, and learn a bit of from whence we came
Every
election year we hear the politicians of one party or another
decry the divisive partisanship of the other party. Partisan
politics and divisions have been with us since the formation
of our nation.
Harvard,
Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth-all owe their origins to the Christian
Gospel. Probably no segment of American higher education has
turned out a greater number of illustrious graduates than
New England's Ivy League.
Every
President from Washington to Bush has prayed, invoked prayer
or otherwise asked God for His continued blessing on the United
States during their Inaugural
Address. Here are all 43 Presidents.
"IN
GOD WE TRUST" is on our currency. Here is an interesting
look at the Great Seal of
the United States.
It is
ludicrous to compare Columbus,
the NASA astronaut of his age, to a man who tried to wipe
Jews off the face of the earth, or any of the other horrendous
comparisons to this man.
