I am sure that never was a people, who had more reason to acknowledge a Divine interposition 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 failed to consder the omnipotence of that God who is alone able to protect them.

Outstanding. Thanks for this one, M.
Along the same lines, I just saw a report on how Kerry is spending the 4th emphasizing his conservative side. (Who knew??!!)
In speaking about his faith, he naturally had to take the angle of how "this administration has crossed that lovely line of separation between church and state". They never learn.
Cripes. Who knew, indeed?
A pox on all their houses who so casually invoke the Name of the Lord for their tawdry benefit.
Shame on you all.
I'll second that motion.
Hello. I'm home resting after 2 big parades today. Hope you and yours had a fine day.
Good morning up there. We're back from a wedding in Houston and the required brunch on the following day - a good trip, but it's nice to be back home.
Hoping that all the row crops are doing what they need to be doing at this time of the year.
The Ten Commandments
???????????? "I am the Lord your God...." ?Ex 20:2-17
DID YOU KNOW?
As you walk up the steps to the building which houses the U.S. Supreme Court you can see near the top of the building a row of the world's law givers and each one is facing one in the middle who is facing forward with a full frontal view - it is Moses and he is holding the Ten Commandments!
DID YOU KNOW?
As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge oak doors have the Ten Commandments engraved on each lower portion of each door.
DID YOU KNOW?
As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see the wall, right above where the Supreme Court judges sit, a display of the Ten Commandments!
DID YOU KNOW?
There are Bible verses etched in stone all over the Federal Buildings and Monuments in Washington, D.C.
DID YOU KNOW?
James Madison, the fourth president, known as "The Father of Our Constitution" made the following statement "We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."
DID YOU KNOW?
Patrick Henry, that patriot and Founding Father of our country said, "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ".
DID YOU KNOW?
Every session of Congress begins with a prayer by a paid preacher, whose salary has been paid by the taxpayer since 1777.
DID YOU KNOW?
Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the Constitution were members of the established orthodox churches in the colonies.
DID YOU KNOW?
Thomas Jefferson worried that the Courts would overstep their authority and instead of interpreting the law would begin making law....an oligarchy....the rule of few over many.
DID YOU KNOW?
The very first Supreme Court Justice, John Jay, said, "Americans should select and prefer Christians as their rulers."
How, then, have we gotten to the point that everything we have done for 220 years in this country is now suddenly wrong and unconstitutional?

Ooops - get some more coffee.
Army Archerd asked Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton in L.A. if she's seen "Fahrenheit 9/11." She said she had not seen Michael Moore's documentary but wants to. Then Army asked her: "Will you run for president?" Hillary's answer: "I want a new president in November. Some day, I hope we have a woman president." (Liz Smith)
Carmen Harra claims she divined Clinton's rise to the Senate, and has even counseled her on family matters. rest of story.
UG: Any inside info from Utah on this very interesting young man?
Truly amazing.
Jennings's run of shows actually occurred in February and he's already gone back home to Utah (though sworn to silence), so at some point he must have lost. I've no idea how...though my guess is what finally tripped him up was a too-easy board. After all, if you lower a basketball rim from ten feet to six feet, even average sized guys can suddenly play like giants.
Meanwhile, all hail Ken Jennings. We'll not see his like again.

Huh!
I never thought of making it too easy...
Thanks for the information, TO.
I agree with Hillary, Condoleeza Rice would probably make a fine President someday.:)
? I don't know what you're talking about...
And if I would have read the link, I would have figured it out. No, I don't know anymore about the Jeopardy winner, other than he lives in the same suburb of Salt Lake City that I do.
Dr.s appt this morn, back later.
Last night, the Pittsburgh TV stations were convinced it was Vilsack who, though governor of Iowa, is a Pittsburgh native. It will be interesting to see how Kerry and Edwards disavow their vast wealth. Yessir, just a couple of regular guys who happen to have gazillions of dollars and several houses - and who, in typical Democrat fashion, will push class envy as the basis of their campaign against the evil Bush.
