MOVIE NARRATED BY KIRK CAMERON

Of the first 108 Universities founded in America, 106 were distinctly Christian, including the first, Harvard University chartered in 1636. In the original Harvard Student Handbook, Rule 1 was that students seeking entrance must know Latin and Greek so that they could study the scriptures:
“Let every student be plainly instructed and earnestly pressed to consider well, the main end of life and studies is, to know God and Jesus Christ, which is eternal life, John 17:3; and therefore to lay Jesus Christ as the only foundation for our children to follow the moral principles of the Ten Commandments.”
“A primary object should be the education of our youth in the science of government. In a republic, what species of knowledge can be equally important? And what duty more pressing than communicating it to those who are to be the future guardians of the liberties of the country?”
GEORGE WASHINGTON
THE UNANIMOUS DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
FORSAKEN ROOTS
52 of the 55 Signers of the Declaration of Independence were orthodox, deeply committed Christians.
Consider these words that Thomas Jefferson wrote on the front of his well-worn Bible:
“I am a real Christian, that is to say, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus. I have little doubt that our whole country will soon be rallied to the unity of our Creator.”
Thomas Jefferson was the Chairman of the American Bible Society, which he considered his highest and most important role.

WALL BUILDERS
DAVID BARTON
WallBuilders is an organization dedicated to presenting America’s forgotten history and heroes, with an emphasis on the moral, religious, and constitutional foundation on which America was built – a foundation which, in recent years, has been seriously attacked and undermined. In accord with what was so accurately stated by George Washington, we believe that “the propitious [favorable] smiles of heaven can never be expected on a nation which disregards the eternal rules of order and right which heaven itself has ordained.”
John Jay
Founding Father, Abolitionist, Second Governor of New York and the First Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
“The Bible is the best of all books, for it is the word of God and teaches us the way to be happy in this world and in the next.“
William Holmes McGuffey
McGuffey published a reader that was used for over 100 years in our public schools with over 125 million copies sold until it was stopped in 1963.
President Lincoln called McGuffey the “Schoolmaster of the Nation.”
McGuffey said, “the Christian religion is the religion of our country. From it are derived our notions on the character of God, on the great moral Governor of the universe. On its doctrines are founded the peculiarities of our free institutions. From no source has the author drawn more conspicuously than from the Sacred Scriptures. From all these extracts from the Bible I make no apology.”

“Our people had been so long accustomed to the practice and convenience of having slaves, that very few among them even doubted the propriety and rectitude of it. Some liberal and conscientious men had indeed, by their conduct and writings, drawn the lawfulness of slavery into question.“
Is America a great country?
Leaflet Dropped on Japanese Cities right before WW2 ended.
TRANSLATION BELOW.
TO THE JAPANESE PEOPLE:
America asks that you take immediate heed of what we say on this leaflet.
We are in possession of the most destructive explosive ever devised by men. A single one of our newly developed atomic bombs is actually the equivalent in explosive power to what 2000 of our giant B-29’s can carry on a single mission. This awful fact is one for you to ponder and we solemnly assure you it is grimly accurate.
We have just begun to use this weapon against your homeland. If you still have any doubt, make inquiry as to what happened to Hiroshima when just one atomic bomb fell on that city.
Before using this bomb to destroy every resource of the military by which they are prolonging this useless war, we ask that you now petition the Emperor to end the war. Our President has outlined for you the thirteen consequences of an honorable surrender: We urge that you accept these consequences and begin the work of building a new, better, and peace-loving Japan.
You should take steps now to cease military resistance. Otherwise, we shall resolutely employ this bomb and all other superior weapons to promptly and forcefully end the war.
EVACUATE YOUR CITIES

A GREAT NATION DOES THIS …….
What sort of nation gives?
The United States of America is the world’s most generous country over the last 10 years, according to the CAF World Giving Index 10th edition. Consistently high numbers of Americans say that they helped a stranger, donated money or volunteered time and this has ensured its position as highest performer when we look at the last decade as a whole, with a score of 58%.

A good indicator is giving as a percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by country. This is an interesting benchmark. The United States is 48X China by the way in giving and about 1.6X larger in GDP.

The U.S. Constitution has been in place since June 1, 1788.
It is the oldest continuous constitution in the world, except for one country - San Marino adopted in 1600.
Our Constitution mandated a balanced approach to government with three equally powerful branches: executive, judicial & legislative.
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
This form of government (Federal presidential constitutional republic) ensures:
Freedom of speech - ideas and differences can be explored and debated. “Friendly” speech needs no protection. Only potentially offensive speech must be protected.
Right to practice the religion of your choice as you deem appropriate
Right to own guns / weapons so that citizens can protect themselves from the government.
Equal justice under the law
The right to own land / property
The right to choose our own leaders
Abraham Lincoln described his hope for our government as follows: “a government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.”
