You’ve been watching too many fictional movies...
The pendulum swings in American politics. The Constitution still remains. What is needed is to have our culture go back to our Creator God as the divine founder of our country and the maintainer of the same.
It’s not so much about politics and/or the Constitution, but more about recognizing God in our country (and in our politics and in our Republican Party) just like the founding fathers did when appealing to God to help them. This is what gives the *real power* (i.e., God, Himself) behind the Constitution. It’s the God of the Bible, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of the Christian faith and belief and of the Savior, Jesus Christ — that people need to appeal to, not the Constitution and not to arms.
Without this very same Creator God of the Bible that the founding fathers appealed to in their struggle, there will be nothing gained (by any other means)...

Don't pretend to know what I watch, or what I think. But if you want to talk about movies, you sound like you've watched Charlton Heston split the Red Sea one too many times.

The Constitution is being shredded even as I type these words, and what exactly do you propose that Americans do to "have our culture go back to our Creator God", pray perhaps? You don't think we've been praying, are praying and continuing to pray? Got any other bright ideas?

You're preaching to the choir. You're not saying anything that American Christians haven't been doing, haven't been believing for years. But it sure sounds good when you post it as if it were your own latter day revelation, now doesn't it?

You don't think our revolutionary ancestors were appealing to that Creator God at Lexington and Concord?
I'm all for beseeching the Almighty to have mercy on our Nation (not that I can think of many reasons why He ought to at this point), and I pray for my Country every damn day and night, because I witnessed first hand what happened when our illustrious courts evicted God from America's classrooms, and -what- filled that vacuum and the resulting flood of licentiousness, wickedness, situational 'ethics', narcotics-for-all and amorality-as-it-fits.
What you appear to be saying is that Americans should just sit patiently, keep praying, don't do anything rash, don't let anyone provoke us to violence, and "everything will be alright".
If that advice had been taken in 1776, Prime Minister 0bama would be preparing his Throne Speech for the Queen to deliver next month.
And Sam Adams would be laughing at you.
