Noah Webster, author of the first American Speller and the first Dictionary stated: "The moral principles and precepts contained in the Scriptures ought to form the basis of all our civil constitutions and laws. . . All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible."
Continental Congress, 1778: "Whereas true religion and good morals are the only solid foundations of public liberty and happiness . . . it is hereby earnestly recommended to the several States to take the most effectual measures for the encouragement thereof."
Our forefathers understood the importance of upholding righteousness and justice and the good effect it has on the land as well as the people of any faith. Today our leaders have forgotten this great truth and have allowed wickedness and injustice to take over our country. Instead of judging our immorality and turning from our wicked ways, we blame everything else and everyone else but our own selves.
People want to remove the consequences for their choices. Listen to the left today saying that those in prison who have killed others - should have the right to vote; but what about the rights of those who they killed? What about the vote of the innocent? When a society tries to make other people or religious groups accept their ungodly choices and evil ideologies by calling them racists, bigots and fear-mongers, then we have lost our moral principles and the right to govern.
