You said that.  I didn't.

America's foundation was built on Judeo-Christian principles from THE BIBLE along with a sin nature driven by the Masonic Illuminati.  The Biblical foundation has been destroyed and the Constitution trashed as Americans have yielded to sin and unrighteousness and its dark side has taking over, promoting homosexuality, abortion, licentiousness, satanism and the occult, despising its Biblical heritage and honoring Muslims instead.  

Ps 11:3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

>Iconoclasts begone.

I am not the inconoclast.  You are.  Be careful what you wish for.  If you want freedom to sin, G~d will give you over to believe a lie (He may have already), and you will reap the consequences.

iconoclast (ì-kòn´e-klàst´) noun
1. One who attacks and seeks to overthrow traditional or popular ideas or institutions.
2. One who destroys sacred religious images.
[French iconoclaste, from Medieval Greek eikonoklastês, smasher of religious images : Greek eikono-, icono- + -klastês, breaker (from Greek klan, klas-, to break).]
- icon´oclas´tic adjective
- icon´oclas´tically adverb
Word History: An iconoclast can be unpleasant company, but at least the modern iconoclast only attacks such things as ideas and institutions. The original iconoclasts destroyed countless works of art. Eikonoklastês, the ancestor of our word, was first formed in Medieval Greek from the elements eikon, "image, likeness," and -klastês, "breaker," from klan, "to break." The images referred to by the word are religious images, which were the subject of controversy among Christians of the Byzantine Empire in the 8th and 9th centuries, when iconoclasm was at its height. Those who opposed images did not, of course, simply destroy them, although many were demolished; they also attempted to have the images barred from display and veneration. During the Protestant Reformation images in churches were again felt to be idolatrous and were once more banned and destroyed. It is around this time that iconoclast, the descendant of the Greek word, is first recorded in English (1641), with reference to the Greek iconoclasts. In the 19th century iconoclast took on the secular sense that it has today, as in "Kant was the great iconoclast" (James Martineau).
