A few notes:
Apparently, the interview was posted in a rush as soon as the news of the suicide reached Sezession. To state “shot himself ... to protest against the introduction of gay marriage in France” is a bit inaccurate; in his suicide note (link in the trailer) Venner cites the reasons and they are not focused solely, not even primarily on the gay “marriage”.
Also, to the “the daily portion of the Bible is prescribed as mandatory in the American schools as the oath to the Stars and Stripes” we can only sigh and fondly remember America.
Sigh and remember sumss it up. But at the same time, while I grew up mostly in New York City, I had attended school briefly in a Bible Belt state. They had state-sponsored courses where they told us how awful Catholics were because they “Didn’t believe the Bible.” Jews in NYC treated us better than Protestants did.
So I don’t think we have to go back to that!
Food for thought.
We must remember who we were, not just as defined by our U.S. Constitution, but who we were in our relationship with God and our culture. Not to demean others, but to have a grateful heart to God for what he has given us who are the descendants of Western Civilization, and to not ever be ashamed of that but to once again be proud of it.(Proud, not in a haughty type of way, but in a grateful and gracious way of remembering and keeping alive and bringing back to leadership what is very close to being lost)
(Skousen is a Mormon, I am most definitely not, but his thoughts on political philosophy do not reflect Mormonism at all. Rather, they seem to clarify a lot of ideas that were common knowledge and have fallen into confusion and disarray in our country in the last 100 years.)
For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required. Luke 12:48
