“Remember,
democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders
itself. There
never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide. It is in vain to
say
that democracy is less vain, less proud, less selfish, less ambitious,
or less
avaricious than aristocracy or monarchy. It is not true, in fact, and
nowhere
appears in history. Those passions are the same in all men, under all
forms of
simple government, and when unchecked, produce the same effects of
fraud,
violence, and cruelty. When clear prospects are opened before vanity,
pride,
avarice, or ambition, for their easy gratification, it is hard for the
most
considerate philosophers and the most conscientious moralists to resist
the
temptation. Individuals have conquered themselves. Nations and large
bodies of
men, never.”

Adams (1797-1801) Second President of the United States

“I
am sure there never was a
people, who had more reason to acknowledge a Divine interposition [hand
of God]
in their affairs, than those of the United States; and I should be
pained to
believe that they have forgotten that agency, which was so often
manifested
during our revolution, or that they [American people] failed to
consider the omnipotence
of that God who is alone able to protect them.”

“A
nation is blessed by the condition
of the people in that nation who have been chosen for His own
inheritance. …The
condition of God’s people determines the immediate, not the
ultimate, but the immediate
blessings of a nation. ...The delay may be a generation or two but
indeed that
reflection is true… The condition of God’s people
in relationship to His convent
bears a direct reflection to the condition of a nation whether it is
blessed or
whether it is cursed.”

“As
the
safety and prosperity of nations ultimately and essentially depend on
the
protection and blessing of Almighty God; and the national
acknowledgment of
this truth is not only an indispensable duty which the people owe to
Him, but a
duty whose natural influence is favorable to the promotion of that
morality and
piety, without which social happiness cannot exist, nor the blessings
of a free
government be enjoyed; and as this duty, at all times incumbent, is so
especially in seasons of difficulty and of danger, when existing or
threatening
calamities, the just judgments of God against prevalent iniquity are a
loud
call to repentance and reformation.”

“We
the People are the
rightful master of both Congress and the Courts, not to overthrow the
Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the
Constitution.”
— Abraham Lincoln
(1809–1865) Sixteenth President of the United States
“If
you give them up
[your rights], you are gone. Give us at least a plausible apology why
congress
should keep their proceedings in secret. … They may carry on
the most wicked
and pernicious of schemes under the dark veil of secrecy. The liberties
of a people
never were nor ever will be secure, when the transactions of their
rulers may be
concealed from them. The most iniquitous plots may be carried on
against their liberty
and happiness.”

"Ours
was the first
revolution in the history of mankind that truly reversed the course of
government,
and with three little words: 'We the people.' 'We the people' tell the
government what to do, it doesn't tell us. 'We the people' are the
driver, the
government is the car. And we decide where it should go, and by what
route, and
how fast. Almost all the world's constitutions are documents in which
governments tell the people what their privileges are. Our Constitution
is a
document in which 'We the people' tell the government what it is
allowed to do.
'We the people' are free."

Principles of Freedom inspired by
our Founding Fathers - We are
at a critical time in

for the
principles of freedom that made our country great. This is inspired by

“The
brief
exposition of the constitution of the United States, will unfold to
young
persons the principles of republican government; and it is the sincere
desire
of the writer that our citizens should early understand that the
genuine source
of correct republican principles is the Bible, particularly the New
Testament
or the Christian religion.”

A Nation Abandoned by God
(Part 1 of 2) - Pastor John MacArthur - ... But there's
this other category of the
wrath of abandonment, it is a form of God's wrath in which He lets go
of a
society and let's it catapult full speed without restraint in the
direction of
its own sinful desires and devices and choices. That's the
wrath being
described here. This is the cyclical reality of this wrath
that has
defined human history and will always until Jesus comes. As
Paul said, in
all the generations gone by, God permitted the nations to go their own
way.
I
don't believe we're
waiting for God's wrath in this society. We haven't had a
massive
calamity such as the destruction of an entire city, we certainly don't
want
that to happen, pray that does not happen, but it could happen and God
would be
just in any calamity that He brought upon us. We have not
entered into
eschatological wrath that comes in the end times, we are experiencing,
all of
us do, consequential wrath of sin. But this massive concept
of the wrath
of abandonment I'm convinced is now at work in our society.
We'd like to
talk about the fact that America was founded on Christian principles
and God
was at the center of it, and all of that, whatever it might have been
in our
founding, it's no longer the way it is and I want to show you how you
know that
has happened. .... The first thing you look for
in a society you're trying to discern whether God has abandoned that
society is
whether or not that society has gone through a sexual revolution so
that
illicit sex, adultery, every form of immorality is accepted as normal
in that
society. And we're there. The second step in the progression

Founding -

We Still Hold These Truths:
The Progressive Assault on America
- Matthew Spalding - In
many ways the
centerpiece of the progressive argument is the idea of realitivisin.
… Which is
that there are no perminate principles. The idea of self evident truth
does not
make sense, everything changes, everything evolves. And they needed
that principle
and they believed that principle, because that was the core thing that
went against
the founding in the first place. The idea of perminate principles … their
principles were directed to undermine
the core principles of the American founding….- Link
