Guns and Liberals-Bad KARMA

I am a seventy year old retired U.S. Army MAJOR.  I served in Operation Desert Storm as a Company commander, and also flew 117 combat missions in Vietnam in the USAF (F4 Phantom II Fighter-Bomber.  I grew up in the south (Louisiana), and have lived around guns all my life.  I own several, including several semi-automatic rifles.  I have been plenty mad lately at people, especially liberals and Democrats to kick their butts, but NEVER have I had a serious thought of shooting one of them with one of my rifles!  Why?  Because I was brought up in a generation where faith in God was a central part of my life, and that faith generated a value system that centered around Christian principles and God’s Ten Commandments.

Liberals want America to believe that the Constitution and our founding fathers were not religious people.  That is a bald-faced Lie.  All one has to do is look at the list of the 200+ names of our founding fathers and the signers of the Declaration of Independence shown in this link List of Christian founders and signers of Declaration of Independence, and it becomes readily evident that our founders were, indeed, to the man, Christians.  There is also ample proof in the writings of the founders that they intended for this to be a nation based on Christian principles.  As the founders put it, it was to be a nation where every man could worship God as he saw fit.  As Chief Justice Joseph Story, of our 1^st Supreme Court wrote, “Probably, at the time of the adoption of The Constitution, and of the Amendment to it now under consideration, the general, If not the universal, sentiment in America was that Christianity ought to receive encouragement from The State…An attempt to level all religions and to make it  a matter of state policy to hold all in utter Indifference would have created universal disapprobation [disapproval] if not universal indignation [anger].” On another occasion, in his “Commentaries”, he wrote, “The real object of the [First Amendment] was not to countenance, much less to advance, Mahometanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity, but to exclude all rivalry among Christian sect”

Our founders did NOT believe that Christianity should be viewed legally on the same level as every other religion.  The founders and the majority of the people of the nation viewed the principles of Christianity as foundation for our governmental policies.  This is clearly stated by the founders.  As an example, this quote from Justice Story “One of the beautiful boasts of our municipal jurisprudence is that Christianity is a part of the Common Law. . . . There never has been a period in which the Common Law did not recognize Christianity as lying at its foundations. . . . I verily believe Christianity necessary to the support of civil society. “ 

Why is it important for America to know that our founders viewed the principles of Christianity to be the foundation upon which our laws were founded?  Because they also realized that for this Constitution to be effective, it was written FOR a Christian people in a Christian nation.  It protected the rights of other religions to be worshipped freely, but the founders DID NOT believe that any other religion was to be viewed by the government on an equal level with Christianity, because they believed that only Christianity had the moral and spiritual principles that would insure our nation’s future and security, both internally and externally.  Again, do not just believe me, but look at the writings of our founding fathers!

John Adams, 2^nd President wrote:  “…The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were …the general principles of Christianity….Now I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God….I could therefore safely say, consistently with all my then and present information, that I believed they would never make discoveries in contradiction to those general principles.”

“…We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion….Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.  It is wholly inadequate to the government of any others”

Samual Adams, Organizer of the Boston Tea Party and Signer of the Declaration of Independence:  “Religion and good morals are the only solid foundations of public liberty and happiness…..A general dissolution of the principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of American than the whole force of the common enemy….”

Thomas Jefferson, writer of the Declaration of Independence and 3^rd President of the United States wrote: “The practice of morality being necessary for the well-being of society, He [God] has taken care to impress its precepts so indelibly on our hearts that they shall not be effaced by the subtleties of our brain.  We all agree in the obligation of the moral precepts of Jesus and nowhere will they be found delivered in greater purity than in His discourses”

Our founding fathers understood that a nation without a moral compass such as the general principles of Christianity would be a nation that would not endure.  They encouraged the teachings of the New Testament in public schools.  (Yes, that is a fact:  Until the American people wake up from the deception and liberal indoctrination being spewed out in our universities and by liberal politicians and judges, and reject their lies and deception, then sadly, it is doomed to fulfill Thomas Jefferson’s prophesy from over two hundred years ago where he said:

“The germ of dissolution of our federal government is in the constitution of the federal judiciary; an irresponsible body, (for impeachment is scarcely a scare-crow,) working like gravity by night and by day, gaining a little to-day and a little to-morrow, and advancing its noiseless step like a thief, over the field of jurisdiction, until all shall be usurped from the States, and the government of all be consolidated into one.” - Letter to Charles Hammond, August 18, 1821

“The great object of my fear is the federal judiciary. That body, like gravity ever acting, with noiseless foot, and alarming advance, gaining ground step by step, and holding with it gains, is engulfing insidiously the special governments into the jaws of which feeds them.”
- Letter to Judge Spencer Roane, March 9, 1821

No nation without a moral compass can secure the freedoms of its people against the incessant encroachment of an out-of-control government.  Government cannot stop the slaughter of its citizens by simply taking away their guns, the only way the slaughtering can be stopped is by instilling in its people the principles of Christianity, where life is valued as a gift from God, where people fear God’s wrath and the just punishment awaiting those who break its laws.  Trying to seize all guns in this nation would lead to an outright violent overthrow of the government and the destruction of our national structure.  Our founders knew what/who would protect our freedoms, and they instilled it in the Constitution.  The SCOTUS has destroyed that foundation, and the other two branches must step up and restore the founders vision of the nation and put the judiciary back into its place, e.g., using Origional Intent as the guiding principle to issuing their opinions and NOT be allow to create law by declaring unconstitutional laws that comply with the original intent of the Constitution as written by the founders.
