History for Mommies
...Daddies, and other true Americans. Countdown to Coral Ridge One Nation Under God: 9 days
This republic (not democracy!) was begun on the premise of “inalienable rights endowed by our Creator.” It is because those rights are given by an unchanging God that this country has been stable, like a rock! Every time those fundamental rights are altered by mind-altered judges, the rock quakes and crumbles. Why? Because, being changed by men, our rights become alienable. I don’t believe this is being taught in our best law schools…at least lawyers, judges, and legislators are not acting like it. Ask Alan E. Sears of Alliance Defense Fund about the astounding condition of our law schools.
What are these rights and where do they come from? Life—“Thou shalt not kill.” Liberty—“Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof.” ~Leviticus 25:10 Our first calling is to serve Him who created us…if we must serve the State or Men, our allegiance is not to God. Pursuit of Happiness—“Take joy in doing God’s will.” Psalm 40:8 Property—“Thou shalt not steal.”
The authority of God’s Law and freedom are utterly inseparable. Does this make Iraq's new freedom seem unstable? The law of their god is not the same. This raises questions about Iraqi government, since Allah and freedom of religion are in direct conflict. What will their freedom look like? We will know all too soon…or not soon enough.
“Liberty can no more exist without virtue and independence than the body can live and move without a soul.” ~John Adams
“The diminution of public virtue is usually attended with that of public happiness, and the public liberty will not long survive the total extinction of morals.” ~Samuel Adams
“If vice and corruption prevail, liberty cannot subsist; but if virtue have the advantage, arbitrary power cannot be established.” ~Algernon Sidney
“Without virtue, there can be no liberty.” ~Benjamin Rush

These are not archaic, passé, or un-evolved. As a matter of fact, they are the perfect proof that evolution is an absurd notion!
Amendment IV: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
