“God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the Gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever.” --
Thomas Jefferson
This country is unmistakably founded on Christian values, we are in grave danger if Christ is successfully shoved out of government by the liberals, Democrats, socialists, atheists and communists.
The below Thomas Jefferson quote is oft taken out of context by those who despise Christians and ungratefully spit on that which most inspired our free-market form of limited government.
"The First Amendment has erected a wall of separation between church and state...."
they conveniently leave out this...
"but that wall is a one-directional wall. It keeps the government from running the church but makes sure that Christian principles will always stay in government."
