Yes. The people, the civil society in their sovereign capacity formed a compact among themselves. We call it our Constitution.

So there, in the sovereign people is the first authority above government.

The second higher authority and above everyone is God. He created all men equal. No one is born with a crown on his head. From this fact of God-given equality, it follows that all earthly governing power flows from the consent of the governed.

From our Declaration, the sole purpose of government is to secure our God given rights.

It has nothing to do with a theocratic government, yet our Constitution is consistent with Natural and God's Laws.

A devout muzzie must reject the Christian-based American tradition and can therefore NEVER be a patriotic American.

This is the dangerous part to me. I am by no means a Muslim apologist, far from it, but this could conceivably apply to any religion that is not Christian.

That your logic ends up there is the troubling part. It shouldn’t, IMO. Especially the “NEVER” part.
