To Be Or Not To Be
The Ten Commandments are okay in some cases, not okay in others.
Once again, the Courts have confirmed their confusion regarding America's heritage and its importance. Or, they have once again confirmed that they have a very different vision for America than that of the Founding Fathers and probably the vision you and I share.
In separate 5-4 rulings, the Supreme Court said the Ten Commandments monument on the Capitol Grounds in Austin, Texas was okay, but the displays in Kentucky were not okay.
Justice Antonin Scalia released a stinging dissent concerning the Court's decision in the Kentucky case. He wrote, "What distinguishes the rule of law from the dictatorship of a shifting Supreme Court majority is the absolutely indispensable requirement that judicial opinions be grounded in consistently applied principle."
Sitting judges across America are, in my opinion, generally hostile toward Christianity. At least, a majority of them are. Rather than basing their opinions as Justice Scalia wrote in, "grounded, consistently applied principle," they are responding to political pressure from the left and advancing their own political and philosophical beliefs, which is progressive secularism.
The secularist not only wants God out of the public picture entirely, but wants man to replace God as the ultimate source of wisdom and revelation.
It is frightening to see us debating the very law that preserved this nation for over 200 years.
There is no question in my mind that we are well on the road to extracting God from our public life. This is not only an assault on God Himself, but on the Declaration of Independence, which proclaims as a matter of law that this nation recognizes God, as the Creator, and that His laws, which are based on the Ten Commandments, gave us the inalienable rights which we exercise.
Every American who believes in this country and what it has stood for during its rise to prominence and prosperity, must now choose sides.
Either America will be sustained by the Godly wisdom of our Founding Fathers and the documents they drafted, which led to our greatness, or we will reject those documents and the Judeo-Christian belief that support them.
Those who recognize the basis of our greatness and consistently apply those principles to their opinions must replace activist judges with a secularist agenda.
We are facing the most challenging period in America's history since the Civil War. It is a battle for the very soul of our nation. It is the battle to preserve traditional, Judeo-Christian morality and virtue.
At a time in my own personal life when my friends and peers are kicking back a little to enjoy life without as much responsibility, I find I simply cannot do that.
In fact, I am accelerating my activities and broadening my base of involvement.
I will be sharing a specific update on this within the next few days.
There is much to do. "To whom much is given, much is required."
"Finally, let us not forget the religious character of our origin. Our fathers were brought hither by their high veneration for the Christian religion. They journeyed by its light and labored in its hope. They sought to incorporate it's principles with the elements of their society, and to diffuse it's influence through all their institutions, civil, political, or literary." – Daniel Webster
