Today many in the United States are crying out to President Obama and Government (i.e., Washington D.C.) to do more and more to fix our social ills while a rising Tea Party movement is sweeping across the land to counter this aggressive socialistic movement. The notion that Big Government has all our answers and the solutions we need in this very chaotic and unstable world is fairy tale.
Our Founding Fathers wisely understood that the less power government possessed the better off we as Americans would be. Our Foundering Fathers fully comprehend that with the abandonment of Judean/ Christian foundations and principles that our government would be transformed into an ever controlling monster with a tyrant as its rider. If present today, Our Founders Fathers would be fighting tooth and nail against this secular socialistic aggression.
The present statist or U.S. constitutional apostate is rooted in the subjective liberal personal belief that Fallen Man through and by the out working of Big Government or "Socialism" can bring security and comfort to its inhabitants. This secular ideology has failed every time it has been implemented. In fact there is no government or political ideology that can ever usher in a world Utopia of perfection and bliss. Those who believe so are oblivious to the fallen nature of man and record of history (Rom 5:12-19).

The founders wouldn’t recognize this place. They’d think they took the wrong boat!
I don’t recognize it myself...
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
Only Congress has the power to establish a religion and they are restricted from doing so. God in the Pledge of Allegiance does not establish a religion. A prayer in school does not establish a religion, and a manger scene on public property does not establish a religion. People saying the Lord Jesus Christ's name does not establish a religion. Congress passing a law that says we all have to go to the Glory Bound Baptist Church every Sunday establishes a religion.
Now, Congress is also forbidden from prohibiting the free exercise thereof. Hence, the law of the land says you can not tell me that I can not put a manger scene or the Ten Commandments up. You can not tell me I can not pray. You can not tell me I can not say the Lord's name.
Socialist/Communist wish to remove God from public view so you and I will begin to forget about God. Why do they want you to forget about God? Well, I am an American. I pray to my God and we handle my problems. I do not pray to my Government. Once people have forgotten how to pray to their God for help, they will begin to pray to the Government for help. From the cradle to the grave.
It is imperative that we keep God in public view.
Socialist wishes for us to look at the guvmint as the Saviour.
Hence, the law of the land says you can not tell me that I can not put a manger scene or the Ten Commandments up”
That little fact won’t stop them from shooting you.
Thomas Jefferson said something like that.
