Quotable

“Let us play the man for our GOD, and for the cities of our GOD…By
a faithful discharge of our duty to our country, let us joyfully
leave her important concerns in the hands of HIM who raiseth up and
putteth down empires and kingdoms of the world as HE pleases.”
— John Hancock, a speech on the 4th anniversary of the Boston Massacre, 1774

What This Country Needs Is …

Will Rogers opined that “What the country needs is dirtier fingernails and cleaner minds.”  I would say that what our country desperately needs at this moment is a clear acknowledgement that our national motto has not degenerated into a national anachronism.  Is it still “In God We Trust” or is that merely past tense – “Trusted” today?

And what shall we say of the future for our children and grandchildren not to mention the future generations of Americans yet unborn?  For starters, how about contacting your congressman and senator and insist that they sign on as co-authors of the Constitution Restoration Act of 2005?  Here is an explanation.

What does the Constitution Restoration Act do?

  1. The legislation (S520 (Shelby) and H.R. 1070 (Aderholt) uses the constitutional power of Congress to limit the jurisdiction of federal courts to protect the right of government agencies and officials and the rest of us citizens to acknowledge God.
  2. It provides that any judge who allows such a case to be heard in his/her court will have committed a breach of the constitutional standard of “good behavior” and will therefore be subject to impeachment or removal.
  3. It also bars judges from relying on foreign legal codes in deciding cases.
