Will anyone in the news media or congress recognize that the primary reason that america succeeded as a nation is because of the moral foundation established from biblical principles that were functioning in the majority of the early population of this nation? There should be no false expectation of success in Iraq when we consider all that is working against us. We can learn much from the lead up to war prior to WWII which can tell us just how
far the u.s. government has gone to force a conflict that will serve it's objectives. That was then but now is not much different, actually probably worse.
A proven, but ignored, fact is the steps that F.D. Roosevelt and others under him
took to provoke Japan to act in defense of its territories. The attack was not a
surprise to some administration officials or military leaders. When their code
breakers brought them warnings they were ignored. This is Not much different the
pre 9-11 period. Many in the intelligence agencies had clues that were not brought
to the attention of the right people. In the case of John O'Neil, His efforts were
obstructed by key people above him and in adjacent agencies.
If our leaders can't be trusted and they don't set a good example for the population is there any wonder that the population doesn't rise to the same high moral standard that existed in the shaping of this nation? A recent war story is an ironic example of the unmistakable need for high
standards of character in the soldiers that represent America, especially in
misguided endeavors such as building a u.s.-type democracy in Iraq. Guideline for conductThe Ten commandments were a basic model for behavior to the american public until
1962 when the supreme court ruled that they be extracted from the public education
arena. They mis-applied a statement by Thomas Jefferson in which he assured a church
group that the government would not interfere in the affairs of the church because
of a wall of separation established by the constitution. This statement has been
turned on its head and now prevents the mentioning of biblical principles in the
public schools. Since then, morality in america has slipped dramatically to new
lows. The u.s. constitution declares clearly that our rights are not the result of governments or man's policies but are the intention of our creator and therefore are unalienable. With these rights we have a responsibility of respect for all people. In the absence of the influence from the bible, and the resulting ethics, the founders held very little hope for the survival of this nation. The ten commandments are mankind's guide to a civil society and are absolutely necessary in the absence of a guiding conscience in the individuals involved. A guiding conscience would be a normal part of the human experience had mankind not become corrupted by selfishness. The material above has no connection to the sites mentioned below other than being reference material for some details. David Barton, in a video titled America's Godly Heritage, goes into great detail
on the subject of the Bible's influence upon the founders of the constitution and
subsequent articles. This is a tremendous reference toward an understanding of this
nation's strong beginnings and its recent deterioration. An important reference to understand america's foundation is the book; |
