The Founding Fathers of America believed that God would judge a wayward nation on earth even though its inhabitants would be judged in the after life.

For this reason, the Founding Fathers were inspired and led to write the Constitution in a way designed to make it more difficult for America to become wayward and be removed from earth by God.

Unfortunately, the Constitution in itself has not yet protected America from a decline in morality among its leaders and from its judges who do not uphold but undermine the Constitution.

The themes in this editorial are taken from my reading of verses in the Bible about what God will do about a nation that dies Spiritually and turns away from God.

America is at risk.

We should all pray for America and our leaders and work hard to keep America as a Godly nation so that the fate of America will not become that of a nation described in my editorial.

"Those who labor to build our nation America (this house) without God, labor in vain." Our Founding Fathers knew these words well. We should take these words as seriously now as the Founding Fathers took them at the Constitutional convention to preserve our nation.

In truth, the Founding Fathers did all they could. You can't make something "foolproof" because fools are just so darned ingenuous. Our country's been run by ingenuous fools in congress for so long that they've managed to chip away at all the protections written into the Constitution. The Constitution as written and the Constitution as currently interpreted are two entirely different documents.

As if that weren't bad enough, all the ingenuous fools running the media promote those causes that corrode our freedoms. To the media, only the 1st Amendment is sacrosanct, and they lack respect even for that one unless it applies to their own handiwork.

Finally, the ingenuous fools that allow themselves to be influenced by a corrupt media continually elect corrupt leaders. The "general public" is too lazy to do their own research, and blindly accept media reports as truth and evidence--and often, even here on Free Republic, will quote them as though from on High.

Count the corrupted systems--wait, no, it would be far quicker to count those that are uncorrupted. Let's see. There's....

um...

er....

uhhh....

Never mind.

thanks OKC..

Fighting for this country is a personal issue because it affects US...and our families. By removing God from not only our government, but also for some of us...from our everyday lives...our spirituality as a nation is corrupted..people know more about rock stars and hollywood! We take more seriously passing out condoms in schools than to teach the importance of our spirituality, being politically involved, to know and understand our government ..

in reverse order. God does not cause things to happen when people behave poorly and do not change, or try to.

Consequences occur when we decide to behave irrationally.

If we expect to find the truth through lies, we will fail. (eg. Klinton and the dems). If we expect to find heaven on earth while denying personal responsibility, we will fail. (eg. pro state advocates).

We create our consequences, either metaphysically, or otherwise.

Own it.
