Going back to the year 1963, when the Supreme Court of the United States
ruled 8-1 that Government sponsored Bible reading and other religious
devotions in public schools was Unconstitutional. So for years since then
different factions of far left individuals and groups have sought to have prayer
removed from Graduation ceremonies, as well as other types of meetings and
gatherings. Next, they sought to have the Ten Commandment displays removed
from all Public Buildings, and the Supreme Court ruled in favor of having them
removed even though they are displayed prominently on the wall behind the
Justices as they deliberate and rule on cases brought before them. Following
this, there was a State Supreme Court Justice who was actually removed from
office because he refused to comply with an order to remove a rather large
display of the Ten Commandments from the premises of his Court House.
   Now they are seeking to have the phrase "In God We Trust" removed from
our money because it violates the so called Separation of Church and State.
And I guess in addition too that they are really trying to have any and all
references to God removed from our society as well. Well folks I am here to
tell you that though they may try, it just will not happen. These crazy people
were even trying to have the Christmas Holiday name changed too further
remove any references to Christ at all. Well as for me and my family, I will
always say Merry Christ-mas.
   The far left along with the ACLU are always throwing up the phrase that
thus and so "is in violation of the Separation of Church and State."
And the Supreme Court has allowed the phrase too stand thus giving the
appearance that it is in the First Ammendment of the Constitution as well.
Now, while I am by no means a Constitutional Lawyer, and I do not think
that it requires you to be one to understand it. As I read the First
Ammendment and with your indulgence interprete it, the First Ammendment
says: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of Religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech,
or of the Press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to
petition the Government for a redress of grievances. (redress means to
rule whether or not the grievances are justified or are wrong). So as I
interpret the First Ammendment the only rights that I see being violated are
yours and mine. Note: The last part of the first line says: "or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof;" what that tells me is that by taking prayer out of school
and not allowing prayer at Graduations and any other type of public gatherings
when you choose too, infringes on the rights of the many, and imparts rights to

the few. Now unless I am badly mistaken, I was under the impression that we

were governed by democratic rule in this Country, where the wishes of the 
Majority prevailed over the few.
   Now where the phrase that something is in violation of the Separation
of Church and State came from is a letter that Thomas Jefferson wrote to the
Danbury Baptist Association in the year 1802, in response to a letter that they
had written to him in October 1801. In Jefferson's response to them he said: I
contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people
which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an
establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; "thus
building a wall of eternal separation between Church and State." So I am sure

you can see plainly that these words by Thomas Jefferson were from
his heart, and not something he pulled out of the First Ammendment to
appease the Danbury Baptist Association. So Jefferson's statement : "thus
building a wall of eternal separation between Church and State led to the short
hand for the establishment clause that we use today; "Separation of Church
and State". And as I hope you can plainly see it is not, or was not words taken
from the First Ammendment. So the only thing that all of these rulings handed
down by the Supreme Courts of our land do is infringe on and hinder our rights
as Evangelical Christians, Baptists, Catholics, or those of the Jewish faith, to
worship the Lord God the way we feel led too, and when and where we
choose too. But I am here to tell you that will not happen in my lifetime, and I
hope not in anyone else's. I will worship my God anywhere and anytime I feel
led to do so.
   I believe in my heart that this great Country of ours is moving dangerously
close to the point where God will finally lift His hand of protection that has
been over it from its inception. The people are hell-bent on doing their
own thing, that is doing what they think and feel is right as opposed to what
is right. This faction of our society wants God out of their lives completely, so
He may very soon oblige them and leave them to their wiles. But I would offer
them one word of caution, God will not be mocked! And whether they like
it or not, He will have His day. Because He always wins, Check the end of
His Book!
   This Republic of ours was founded with a great Democratic Government
that has worked really great from the beginning. But it is fast moving from a
Democratic Government to a Socialist Government by the present far left
Congress that is in power, and is completely out of control. Along with a
new President and cabinet that are on a spending spree that will indenture our
children  and their children all of their lives, unless China or someone else
comes in and asks for the keys to the country. Because China for all intent
and purpose is holding the Mortgage to our country because they have
been backing our money for quite a while now and taking Treasury Notes as
collateral. But they are starting to get worried that we are spending ourselves
into oblivion and will make their Treasury Notes worthless. But President
Obama tried to reassure China that the notes they are holding are safe and
as good as gold. (The gold that we do not have to back them). The Treasury
just continues to print money that is essentially worthless, because there is
nothing to back it up. I said this in an earlier blog, that if you or I were to
print money like they are doing we would be put in jail for counterfeiting.
Now our Treasury Secretary has gone to the Congress and is asking them
to give him the authority too seize complete control of the private companies
so that the Government can tell them how to run their business as
efficiently as they are running the Government. (Give me a Break) !!!!
