Even the four that are recognized as Deists, used scripture in their personal writings which is well documented. The only reason they are they are even considered Deists is due to the fact those 4 did not belong or declare a specific religious church. But all them were well educated in scripture.
Thomas Jefferson later in life was part of a Baptist Bible study group and taught calvanist theology.
Benjamin Franklin called the Continental Congress to pray, which makes the claim that he was a deist rather questionable.
For years, we have been told that Christian values are the problem. They are too restrictive, too old fashioned, too judgmental, too limiting. The message has been drilled into the culture over and over again, freedom means removing every moral boundary, every inherited standard, and every inconvenient truth.
But the cartoon gets to the heart of the issue.
“I don’t want Christian values limiting my freedom in life.”
Then comes the answer.
“Ok, we got rid of them.”
And suddenly the path to “life” is broken, crumbling, and dangerous.
That is the part so many people miss. Christian values were never meant to be a prison. They were guardrails. They were the foundation that helped build strong families, honest communities, personal responsibility, respect for life, respect for marriage, respect for children, and respect for something bigger than the self.
Take those away, and you do not get some enlightened utopia.
You get confusion.
You get broken homes.
You get people chasing freedom while becoming slaves to impulse, ideology, government dependency, and cultural insanity.
The left has spent decades mocking the very values that held society together, then acts shocked when the results show up in the streets, schools, courts, and homes.
They wanted a culture without judgment, then wondered why standards disappeared.
They wanted freedom without responsibility, then wondered why chaos followed.
They wanted life without the values that protect life, then wondered why everything started falling apart.
That does not mean every Christian is perfect. It does not mean every church has always gotten everything right. But it does mean the basic moral framework that shaped this country mattered far more than our elites ever wanted to admit.
Maybe the “limits” were not the problem.
Maybe they were the only thing keeping the road from collapsing.
It was intended from the very foundation that the US of A would be a Christian nation. Our laws, from the outset, were based on the Holy Bible and perusals of the founders’ writings prove that to be a fact, much to the ACLU’s dismay, not to mention Freedom From Religion and other antichristian organizations. Furthermore, it is only persons of high moral fiber who are supposed ot be permitted to be in positions of “public service” according to the founders. It is not the (Anthony) Wieners and (Barney) Franks and the citizens are supposed to be watching and dictating to the government what its limits are while holding the politicians accountable for their actions. Unfortunately, too many citizens have abdicated their watchdog responsibility and allowed amoral, even immoral, hotdogs to sneak in to those positions of power. It is time to get busy and clean out all the slime from Washington, D.C. We have the internet, for now, where we can bypass the biased media to get the word out and mobilizing.
“There has been a systematic attempt to mislead Christians by disinformation generated by anti-Christian writers who have obscured or denied the Christian nature of our heritage and civil government and law.” (Archie P. Jones, Ph.D., Foreword to Benjamin F. Morris’ The Christian Life and Character of the Civil Institutions of the United States, 1864, reprint 2007 by American Vision, Inc) Back at the foundation of this nation, America, the people understood the lessons from the Holy Bible that civil government is used by God to work out His holy will in the lives of men and nations.
“Our forefathers in the faith did not retreat from involvement in society and politics. They did not turn civil government, the making and enforcement, and adjudication of laws, over to Satan and those who serve him.” (Jones) It was Christianity, not paganism or secularism which produced freedom and justice in the west and in America, it certainly wasn’t Islam. “’There is nothing,’ says Webster, ‘we look for with more certainty than this principle, that Christianity is a part of the law of the land. Everything declares this. The generations which have gone before speak to it, and pronounce it from the tomb.’” (Morris, p 245) “The statesmen of the Continental Congress, in their deliberations, officially recognized the Christian religion, and incorporated its principles into their legislative acts.” (Morris, p 245)
John Adams, in a letter to his wife describes the scene of the 1st Continental Congress “When the Congress first met, Mr. Cushing first made a motion that it should be opened with prayer.” (Morris, p246) It was a non-sectarian, yet decidedly Christian, prayer which ended with “we ask in the name and through the merits of Jesus Christ, thy Son, our Savior. Amen!” (Morris, pp 249-250) “The state papers of the Continental Congress were also full of the spirit and sentiments of the Christian system,” (Morris, p 46). We have a great and Godly heritage in spite of what the ACLU and others of an anti-Christian mindset wish to profess and the documents are once again being brought out to the light of day for our studious perusal at this crucial point in time. Crucial, because we most definitely need a new awakening similar to that which brought the United States into existence.
We desperately need a Great Awakening in this country and 2nd Chronicles 7:14 provides the recipe for it.
Illegal aliens do not belong here — if you can’t come into this country the right way then stay out.
Those who seek to destroy our way of life have long been trying to tell us not to call the invaders what they are. It is good and acceptable to have people come into this country who want to assimilate and be good citizens and we have a very good system to handle those people and even asist them in becoming successful and productive citizens.
John Fetterman just completely embarrassed Democrats attacking President Trump over the $13 million Lincoln Reflecting Pool renovations by reminding everyone that Barack Obama spent a staggering $34 million on upgrades years ago, and people were STILL complaining the area looked dirty, neglected, and falling apart afterward. That’s what made this moment hit so hard. Democrats suddenly act outraged over renovation costs now, but stayed completely silent when Obama was spending nearly triple the amount.
Fetterman didn’t even try to sugarcoat it either. He openly said the reflecting pool actually looks good and called $13 million “small” considering America is approaching its 250th anniversary and major national landmarks should look clean, restored, and impressive instead of rundown. Then he doubled down even more by saying the country also needs a proper ballroom because these historic locations should represent strength and pride, not decay and embarrassment.
What’s fascinating is watching a Democrat basically admit out loud what millions of Americans already think: Washington has spent decades wasting unbelievable amounts of taxpayer money on garbage projects, yet suddenly when Trump improves something visible and patriotic, the outrage machine activates instantly. Moments like this expose how selective political outrage really is. Even Fetterman sounded tired of the hypocrisy.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett, Democrat of Texas, just delivered her latest dramatic monologue about American democracy, and it’s a beauty.
“Yeah, this is exactly what happens when democracies are in free fall. And that’s exactly what we’re experiencing,” Crockett said in an interview on MSNOW.
What set off this five alarm constitutional crisis? Republican states redrawing congressional maps. That’s it. That’s the emergency.
Funny thing, Congresswoman, the same gerrymandering tactic has been the bread and butter of your party for decades.
California just rammed through Proposition 50 last November so Gavin Newsom could redraw maps and crush Republican seats.
Illinois has cartoon shaped districts that would make Picasso blush.
Massachusetts somehow elects zero Republicans to Congress despite roughly a third of the state voting GOP every cycle.
New York Democrats have tried so many partisan gerrymanders the courts had to step in and slap them down.
But when Texas, Missouri, or North Carolina do exactly what blue states have done for years, suddenly the Republic is collapsing and Jasmine Crockett is on cable news playing the part of a constitutional scholar.
She and the rest of her friends are clowns, and not even funny ones. More like the kind that show up uninvited at 3 AM standing at the foot of your bed. Scary clowns.
The Founders understood this exact dynamic. In Federalist No. 53, Madison warned that frequent elections were the safeguard against representatives who forget who sent them.
Crockett and her colleagues have not forgotten, they simply do not care, because the cameras are rolling and the donor class is watching.
Here is the part the corporate press will not touch.
Democrats spent the last decade insisting the popular vote was the only legitimate measure of democracy, right up until they started losing it.
Now the goalposts have moved again, and the new rule is whatever benefits Democrats is democracy and whatever does not is fascism.
If gerrymandering is the death of democracy, why does it only count when Republicans do it?
