CONSTITUTION DAY: How the Bible and Faith of Our Founders Helped ‘Secure the Blessings of Liberty’

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Paul Strand As a freelance reporter for CBN’s Jerusalem bureau and during 27 years as senior correspondent in CBN’s Washington bureau, Paul Strand has covered a variety of political and social issues, with an emphasis on defense, justice, government, and God’s providential involvement in our world. Strand began his tenure at CBN News in 1985 as an evening assignment editor in Washington, D.C. After a year, he worked with CBN Radio News for three years, returning to the television newsroom to accept a position as a senior editor in 1990. Strand moved back to the nation’s capital in 1995.

September 17th celebrates Constitution Day, marking that key American document’s ratification. Some question why it’s said America was founded as a Christian nation since there’s no mention of God in the Constitution. But leading Christian historian Peter Lillback explains while the Lord’s name may not appear, the Constitution is deeply rooted in God’s teachings, ways and words.

The Founding Fathers who wrote and signed the Constitution saw themselves as men of faith, and used what they learned from a lifetime of reading and studying God’s Word to help form the new nation’s law and government.

‘We Were Shaped by the Bible’

“I like to say that it’s not that we established a Christian country,” Lillback told CBN News. “But without Christian values, we would never have established THIS kind of country. We were shaped by the Bible.”

Outside the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia where the Preamble of the Constitution is displayed in huge letters on the outside of the building, Lillback showed phrase by phrase how the Preamble reflects biblical values the Founders knew well.

The Preamble begins like this: 

“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…”

Lillback explained that their intention was clearly for a “more perfect Union”, not one that was already perfected. “It begins by saying ‘We the People of the United States’ come together to make a ‘more perfect union’,” this founder of the Providence Forum said. “They want to be one; they know they can’t be perfect. They want to be ‘more perfect’. That’s a biblical idea: ‘we’re trying to get better. We can progress.’”

As for that word “union,” Lillback asked, “Remember how the Bible says ‘how blessed it is when brothers dwell together in unity?’  That’s a biblical value.”

‘Do Justice, Love Mercy’

Then it says “…establish Justice…”   

Lillback quotes Micah 6:8: “‘The Lord has shown you what He requires of you, o man: that you would do justice, love mercy.’ Justice is a biblical concern. Some would say the Ten Commandments define justice.”

Next, it says “…insure domestic Tranquility…”

The Providence Forum founder commented, “That’s to make sure that we live together in peace with one another.  Paul will say in Romans chapter 12, ‘As much as lies within me, I will live at peace with all men.’ The idea of tranquility is a great biblical concern.”

Defense is a Biblical Concern

Next: “…provide for the common defense…”

“To make sure that the vulnerable are protected. We know that one of the great principles of God’s law is to defend the orphan and the widow, the stranger in the land,” Lillback pointed out “And to make sure that there’s not an unjust assault against the community by a foreign power. These are biblical concerns.”

Next: “…promote the general Welfare…”

“As much as lies within us, we should do good to all men, especially to those in the household of faith,” said Lillback who is also the president of Westminster Theological Seminary. “The idea of providing for the needy, that is a concern that’s reflected in biblical ethics.” 

‘Liberty is a Gift of God’

Next:  “…and secure the Blessings of Liberty…”

“I always like to say that the word ‘blessing’ is a word you don’t hear atheists using. The very nature of blessing is something that is being given to us from God,” Lillback explained. “And liberty is something that God has blessed us with.  In fact, we find it in the jubilee text of Leviticus 25 and verse 10 that’s on the Liberty Bell: ‘proclaim liberty throughout the land to all the inhabitants thereof.’ Liberty is a gift of God.”

Finally: “…to ourselves and our posterity.”

“Our Founders remembered God’s covenantal vision that ‘I will be your God and the God of your children to a thousand generations after you.’ When you talk about to our posterity, that’s the ring of covenantal succession. That’s right out of the scriptures,” Lillback said. “It goes back to the Abrahamic covenant.”

God’s a Lawgiver, Judge & Ruler.  We have Lawgivers, Judges & a President

Then the Constitution lays out our legislative, judicial, and executive branches of government. And all three reflect different aspects of God Himself, shown in the Bible.

“In Isaiah 33:22 where it talks about how our God is a God who is a LAWGIVER — who is in fact a JUDGE. He’s also a king or a RULER. Again, derivatives of God’s very Word, God’s very nature.”

And so the Founders who knew their Bible so well created a government that could imitate and reflect these aspects of God.

A Republic: Can We Keep It?

When a woman asked Benjamin Franklin what kind of government the Constitutional Convention has just come up with, he replied, “A republic if you can keep it.”

And how can we keep it?

Historian Lillback recalled, “Washington said ‘It is impossible for us to succeed unless we imitate the divine author of our blessed religion.’ Those are the words that he said to each of the governors as he was stepping down as a successful general. And in his farewell address as president: ‘Religion and morality are indispensable supports for our political prosperity’.”  

“Remember the logic: to have a republic, you need to have people who are moral because a republic is written on a piece of paper.  Are you going to do what it says?   You have to be committed to doing what is right,” Lillback explained.  “How do you get a moral people?  You need to have a religious people. ‘Religion and morality are indispensable for our political prosperity’.”

No Constitution has Lasted Longer

He summed up for CBN News what the Bible and religious faith did for America through our Founders.

He said, “By learning from His Word, we gain wisdom, and that wisdom creates the longest continuously used Constitution on the face of the earth.”

Why Democrat Analysts Warn Their Party Could Face ‘Deep Trouble’ CBN News / by David Brody

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Let’s hope they stay clueless, we need about 10 years to begin to straighten the country out. That is if we can get true blood conservatives elected and do something about the spending spree. Rh

WASHINGTON – President Trump and Republican lawmakers have overcome tough odds to basically steamroll through his second-term agenda. That has left Democrats with a party in an identity crisis filled with questions about how they can recover.  

Ever since Kamala Harris lost the 2024 election to Donald Trump, Democrats have been soul-searching. As they try to diagnose the myriad of factors leading to their defeat, being out of touch on cultural issues stands out far above the rest. 

CNN commentator Van Jones said, “Calling everybody sexist and racist and transphobic and every other name and then say, ‘Please follow us?’ That’s not a good strategy, folks.” 

Rahm Emanuel, another Democrat who works as a CNN Commentator, said, “The reason why Democrats are where they are is we started talking about basically transgender issues, Latin X, defunding the police, a whole host of cultural topics.” 

Chuck Todd, the former host of NBC’s “Meet the Press” who now hosts “The Chuck Toddcast,” tells CBN News this disconnect is a potential pothole on the political roadmap. “If there’s another national election that’s more cultural based, the Democrats are in deep trouble,” Todd said.

There’s no doubt that the progressive wing is taking greater control of the Democrat Party. Almost a decade ago in 2016, 48 percent of Democrats considered themselves either liberal or very liberal. Today, that number has jumped seven points. 

“The energy is clearly in the younger progressive base of the party, and yet their problem is with swing voters who are slightly older,” Todd said. 

And that’s where the Trump train comes in. He has picked up many of those blue-collar Democrats, leaving the party in the political wilderness.  

Texas State Rep. James Talarico (D) said, “We have to do something different, something dramatically different.”  

Talarico, who wears his faith on his sleeve, is finishing up his seminary degree. He sees this rough patch as an opportunity. 

“God works out in the wilderness. And I think that can be true in politics, too. I think the Democratic Party should embrace this time in the political wilderness because this is where we can discover who we are,” he said. 

Right now, voters are still wandering, and part of the problem is that Democrats still haven’t found a Moses to lead them through the midterms and 2028 presidential race. 

“Normally, when Democrats are in the wilderness, they look for brand new,” Todd said. “In 1973, nobody was talking about Jimmy Carter. In 1989, Bill Clinton was not on the radar screen. And in 2005, Barack Obama was thought of as, oh, there’ll be somebody interesting in the next decade. Maybe he’ll run for governor of Illinois.”  

“If you’re naming the person now, they’re probably already too stale for where they’re going. I think that you will see, think ‘new and not from Washington’ is gonna be the two most important characteristics for the Democratic primary in 2028,” he said. 

But first things first: right now, Democrats are struggling within their own ranks. Just 23% expressed positive sentiments about their party; 35% called it weak or ineffective; and 73% felt that congressional Democrats have not done enough to oppose Trump. 

Democrat researcher Jonathan Voss said, “In focus groups, when we talk to voters and we ask them, what’s the animal that you think of when you think of the Democratic Party, people will say things like, ‘I think of a turtle,’ right? They move slowly and then they kind of hunker down within their shell when the going gets tough. 

“And right now, I think what Democratic rank and file want to see is they don’t want to see the turtle,” he said. 

Over the last few months, Democrats have tried to shed that image. Case in point, Cory Booker’s Senate filibuster against the president’s policies, where he declared, “It’s time for Democrats to have a backbone. It’s time for us to fight. It’s time for us to draw lines.” Then there was House Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries’ marathon speech against the president’s Big Beautiful Bill.  

Voss said, “We need to make the case that we can do a better job helping people in terms of their mobility and their wellbeing without being saddled as the party of the status quo.”  

Indeed, the Democrats must change their stripes. Up until now, the question has been will it be toward the middle or left?

The recent trend in local primaries is far left as mayoral candidates in New York, Seattle, and Minnesota have defeated the more traditional liberal Democrat. Ultimately, however, the Democrats’ march toward a better political future may just simply ride on how Americans, especially those once blue-collar Democrats and swing voters, feel about Trump’s economy. 

“Either they like this economy and he can create a durable, long-term realignment, or if they continue not to like the economy like the previous turn, then those voters may reluctantly come back,” Todd said. “I think we’re still in a period where that group of voters is still vacillating.” 
 
Talarico said, “We’re the party of the New Deal. We’re the party of the Great Society, another Texas Democratic president. You know, that is our heritage, is fighting for working people, fighting for the people who are left out and left behind, not coastal elites and not billionaire donors.” 

Voss said, “If the Democratic Party can establish itself as a party of change, as a party that can make life better for people, I think it has a better opportunity in 2026 and 2028.” 
 
Until then, it’s safe to say the Democrat Party is a work in progress.

Hmmm, isn’t it interesting that one socialist/communist to another is offering advice and council. Fundamentally destroy American is now let’s destroy New Your city. IMO if Mamdani is elected is will make New York a barren wasteland of drugs, crime and radical behavior rivaling third world countries. We will have our own Gaza right here in the good old USA. Rh

In the days after it became clear Zohran Mamdani had won New York City’s June mayoral primary, much of the Democratic establishment began to panic.

Former President Barack Obama, the last Democrat to captivate the party’s base, got on the phone. In a lengthy call in June, Mr. Obama congratulated Mr. Mamdani, offered him advice about governing and discussed the importance of giving people hope in a dark time, according to people with knowledge of the conversation.

Others in Mr. Obama’s orbit have also shown a keen interest in Mr. Mamdani and his campaign. Jon Favreau, who served as Mr. Obama’s speechwriter, and Dan Pfeiffer, a former senior adviser, have been in communication with the Democratic strategist Morris Katz, among Mr. Mamdani’s closest aides.

Russia Hoax: False Accusations And Traitors Are Another Distinct Sign Of The Times

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

ByTerry James

August 11, 2025

This article below is written by Terry James & printed in Harbinger’s Daily

Terry James explicitly lays out exactly what is happening. I hope you enjoy. We are in desperate and deceiving times. Prayer and the study of God’s Word is paramount in these last days. Rh

Anyone who studies Bible prophecy from the pre-Trib viewpoint and observes the issues and events under that great prophetic microscope must include the Apostle Paul’s “perilous times” forecast to comprehend this end-times panorama.

Here again is that prophecy: “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” (2 Timothy 3:1–5)

Analysis of the verses usually concentrate on the words used by Paul, including “men shall be…lovers of themselves, fierce and without natural affection.”

Certainly, this generation displays these characteristics in significant profusion. We’ve pointed out, for example, that posting “selfies” and creative narcissistic narratives on Facebook and other platforms indicates that this generation embraces the description “lovers of their own selves” given in this prophecy.

The characteristic “without natural affection,” we’ve noted, involves mothers aborting more than sixty million babies here in America. Also, it’s been pointed out that homosexuality and the transsexual victimization of children proves that this generation demonstrates that “without natural affection” trait as well.

We only have to look at the “wars and rumors of war” going on in the form of military conflict between warring nations, and at raging in the streets right here in America, to understand that we’re experiencing the characteristic Paul described as “fierce.”

All the “perilous times,” end-times descriptives are in play at this moment as we receive reports hourly of what’s going on in the world. But I’d like to look in particular at a couple of terms in Paul’s prophecy for the balance of the commentary: “trucebreakers,” “false accusers,” “traitors,” and “highminded.”

In my view, those words describe growing evidence encompassing the revealing of the false accusations and evil perpetrated within the so-called deep state over the past number of years. All the wicked subterfuge committed against, first, a presidential candidate, then the ongoing such activity against that man in his two separate presidencies, is on the verge of being proven, I believe. 

I’m sure those doing the traitorous activity will no doubt still be claiming, despite the evidence, that it’s all just political rhetoric—or is otherwise framed as not believable.

To me, it reflects on the biblical prognosis, “Be sure, your sins will find you out” (Numbers 32:23).

The perpetrators of this traitorous subterfuge just might have been found out. The following might be the evidence that will prove the traitorous activity that has filled the headlines with lies for so many years.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard accused former President Barack Obama of orchestrating a “treasonous conspiracy” to undermine Donald Trump’s 2016 election victory, making unprecedented allegations from the White House briefing room on Wednesday, July 23, 2025.

Speaking at 11:44 PM EDT, Gabbard alleged that Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment they knew was false regarding Russian interference in the 2016 election. The former Democratic congresswoman claimed Obama’s administration manufactured findings to promote the narrative that Russia interfered to help Trump win.

Following shortly thereafter, evidence was discovered that might prove true the charges made by the National Security Director.

FBI Director Kash Patel has uncovered a trove of long-hidden documents tied to the Trump-Russia investigation inside a secret room at FBI headquarters, according to sources familiar with the discovery who spoke with Fox News. The stash—found in so-called “burn bags” typically used to destroy sensitive materials—reportedly includes thousands of pages and computer hard drives, among them the classified annex to former Special Counsel John Durham’s final report.

Speaking in a June interview with podcast host Joe Rogan, Patel described locating the previously undisclosed room inside the bureau’s Hoover Building. “Comedy and others hid [this room] from the world…locked the key and hid access and just said, ‘No one’s ever gonna find this place,’” Patel said. He added the room was filled with documents and storage devices “that no one had ever seen or heard of.”

To me, this entire political cesspool smells of the Apostle Paul’s “perilous times” descriptions: “trucebreakers,” “false accusers,” “traitors,” and “high-minded.” That shouldn’t be surprising to those who seek truth in their study of Bible prophecy. As we discern prophetic stage-setting signals in every direction on the near horizon, so near the end of this Age of Grace, this great traitorous betrayal predicted by Paul is front and center. When we see “all these things beginning to come to pass,” then we understand it is time to “look up! Our Redeemer, the Lord Jesus Christ, is drawing near!”

Terry James is an author, general editor, and co-author of numerous books on Bible prophecy.

A National Forerunner Of A Global Blueprint: The Grave Implications Of A Digital Health Tracking System In America – Harbinger’s Daily

Stupidocrisy: Dems signal a coming storm of nasty gaslighting

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

By Bill Wilson, KIN Senior Analyst

WASH—Jul 16, 2025 —KIN– 

Concise report of what matters to most in the BBB. I personally wish more spending cuts, we have plenty of pork to get rid of, but I definitely will take the taxi cuts! Let’s start working now for the midterms to elect physically conservative candidates. Rh

The “Big Beautiful Bill” (BBB) is shaping up to be one of the most consequential pieces of legislation for the American people in a generation. It delivers targeted, tangible benefits to workers, seniors, and small businesses—yet Democrats and their media echo chamber are doing everything they can to convince Americans it’s a disaster. What’s really going on here is a masterclass in gaslighting, where facts are buried under fear, and benefits are branded as betrayal. The Democrats’ strategy heading into the 2026 midterms is clear: demonize the BBB, punish President Trump, and discredit the will of the people who put him and a Republican majority in power. This gaslighting will be a constant drumbeat for over a year.

At its core, the BBB provides a clear lift for ordinary Americans: Working-class families will see more take-home pay through the elimination of taxes on tips and overtime; Senior citizens get a substantial Social Security tax exemption—individuals keeping an additional $6,000, couples up to $12,000—allowing 88% of seniors to avoid taxes on their benefits entirely; Middle-income families gain an expanded child tax credit and higher standard deductions, with some households seeing effective tax cuts of 16%; Small businesses, the backbone of the American economy, benefit from a permanent extension of the 20% pass-through deduction, first introduced in the Trump tax cuts. In addition, many of the popular Trump policies on immigration reform, government accountability, national and border security, and tax reductions become law.

They are real-world changes that immediately impact everyday Americans—especially those long ignored by Washington’s elite class. But instead of acknowledging these historic reforms, Democrats are in full-blown panic mode. Progressive firebrand Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez exploded over the bill, warning it would make current economic conditions “look like child’s play.” The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has already branded the legislation the “Big Ugly Bill,” rolling out a multi-million-dollar messaging blitz that aims to vilify the very relief Americans just received. There’s no constructive policy coming from the left—only resistance. No counter-legislation, no competing tax plan, no alternative for seniors or small businesses. Just rage. Their complicit media shills will amplify the negative, while ignoring the benefits. 

Outlets have already led with claims that 10 to 12 million may lose Medicaid coverage, deficit projections, and warnings about benefits to the wealthy, while carefully leaving out what the bill actually does for lower- and middle-income Americans. Make no mistake: this is the same psychological operation we saw during COVID. Back then, fear ruled the day. Today, it’s political fear designed to overwhelm your senses, distort your judgment, and trick you into rejecting what’s in your best interest. Proverbs 22:3 says, “The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple pass on and suffer for it.” Now is the time to double down on discernment. This is not just a political battle. It’s a test of whether common sense can still cut through the noise. Stay sharp. Stay free. Anything less is, say it with me…Stupidocrisy.

The Founders Meant to Keep Government Out of the Church, Not God Out of the Government

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Paul Strand

This is a wonderful, factual article. The left has duped American to believe a lie. Our founders were terrified of a government run church. After seeing the overreach of government these last few years, their fear is well grounded. Enjoy the article. Rh

The 4th of July makes us think of our independence and freedoms. And legal battles in recent years over religious liberty in the U.S.A. raise serious questions about the freedom to worship in America. So when our Founders came up with the First Amendment, were they trying to keep the government free from religion, or religion free from government?  

These days, the phrase “wall of separation between church and state” has come to mean keeping God or His believers from having a big effect on government and public life. But that’s far, far from what the Founding Fathers were thinking of when they were separating church and state.

Fear of an All-Powerful State Church Wed to the Power of the Government

They were afraid of what so many of the Old World countries had: a religion established by the state as its one true religion, that would tyrannically rule over the faith and conscience of every citizen.

As the Providence Forum’s Peter Lillback put it, “They recognized having a monolithic church was a dangerous thing.”  That’s because it made the king not only their physical sovereign but also their all-powerful spiritual ruler.

Before the Pilgrims fled England, Wallbuilders’ David Barton recalled, “The Pilgrims’ pastor was executed because he made the statement that Jesus Christ is head of the church. And the monarch said, ‘Oh no, I’m the head of the church. You’re dead.’”

Wouldn’t Allow a Church of America Like the Brits Had the Church of England

Knowing of such terror and tyranny, AmericanMinute.com historian William Federer explained how the Founders felt: “Their big fear was the federal government was going to follow the blueprint of every country in Europe and pick one national denomination.”

So what they meant by saying in the First Amendment “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion” was that the federal government was banned from creating – or “establishing” – a national religion with the national government wedded to it.

“They didn’t want to have a national, established Church of America like you have the Church of England, forcing people to believe something that they didn’t believe in,” said Jerry Newcombe, host of the radio program “Vocal Point”.

“What they said was, ‘We don’t want a state church here. Consciously, therefore, they were separating the church from government,” Lillback said.

But that was strictly to protect the churches and each believer’s faith and conscience from the government.

All About Protecting Each American’s Conscience and Freedom to Believe

Not only did the First Amendment say, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,” but it also said, “or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”

“What they wanted was the freedom that we have in the Bible: the rights of conscience,” Barton said. “And they didn’t want the state telling us how we could or couldn’t practice our faith.”

Lillback said the Founders keeping government control away from faith meant, “Each of us has a right to be who we are before God. It has been well said and it’s a classic statement of religious liberty that man is not free unless he is free on the inside.  We have to have the freedom to believe what we believe. That’s what the First Amendment protects.”

God: He’s on Both Sides of the Wall’

And that’s what Christian historian Eddie Hyatt explained Thomas Jefferson was talking about when he wrote the letter that first used the famous “wall of separation” phrase to a group of worried Baptists.

“He said that the First Amendment had erected a wall of separation that would protect them from any intrusion of the government,” Hyatt stated. “In Jefferson’s mind, the wall of separation was a uni-directional wall, put there to keep the government out of the church; not to keep the influence of the church out of the government.”

There was no antipathy towards the Lord in all of this, Lillback insisted, saying, “But the idea of God: He’s on both sides of the wall. And He’s welcome there. And He should be.”

The Government Is Reaching Over that Wall, Bossing Around People of Faith

But today, there’s been a complete flip.

Lillback said, “Those who once believed in this really high and impregnable wall of church and state, we now see the government reaching over that wall and saying, ‘but don’t preach that text of scripture.’”

Barton added, “All of a sudden the government’s regulating religious activities, which is what Jefferson said they would not do because of separation of church and state.”

Hyatt lamented, “The Founders would be so distressed to see how that statement has been turned on its head.”

As Newcombe explained, “They absolutely did not mean the separation of God and government, which is what’s often being practiced today.”

No One ‘Under Government,’ but Each One ‘Under God’

Lillback encourages Americans to remember what the nation’s Founders intended.

“This is a theistic government. So God was not separated from government,” he insisted. “So any interpretation of the First Amendment that takes God out of government is turning the whole story on its head. Rather it was taking a formal state church out of the equation, leaving it up to each individual. But all, as we still say, ‘under God.’ That was the view of our Founders.”

They believed a nation based on liberty could only stay free if its citizens were godly people. As Barton pointed out, believers in God have their eyes on eternity, and it makes them practice self-control.  

Knowing You’ll Answer to God Makes You Govern Yourself

“When you’re God-conscious, you realize, ‘ya know, I’m going to have to answer to Him for what I do,’ and it limits my bad behavior,” Barton stated.

Newcombe added, “That’s something the Founders believed very strongly: that we’re going to be accountable before God.”

Hyatt said of those Founders, “They knew that they were creating a nation for a free people, but also for a virtuous people who would govern themselves from within.”

You need very little police power if people, because of conscience, will police themselves.

Green Bean Control Laws?

“Self-control is what you need,” Barton explained. “We can pass all the control laws we want. But unless you control the heart, you’ll never control behavior. I mean, I can kill somebody with a can of green beans. What are we going to do?  Pass green bean control laws if somebody does that? No. It’s on the inside.”

And the Founders knew to keep America true and free, they also needed the perfect law of a loving, all-wise God.

As Lillback put it, “There was a clear understanding that the government needed to have an ultimate check and balance, even beyond the people that ran it and their elections. And that is the transcendent law of God.  And so that is why when we look at our Declaration of Independence, there are four references to Deity.”

Going through the Declaration, Lillback laid them out: “‘We’re endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights.’ The laws of God and nature. And it tells us there’s an appeal to the Supreme Judge of the world. And, finally, a dependence on the Providence of God. Four references to Deity.”

Not Godless at All

But then came the US Constitution, which some say is a godless document because God isn’t mentioned in it. As soon as they were done with it, though, the Founders called for a day of Thanksgiving to God.

“They were not thinking ‘let’s get rid of God,'” Lillback stated. “They said, ‘We have been given now a new Constitution, and now amendments that give us our freedoms. And where do we turn? We turn to heaven and thank God for this.'”

“Now, if their intent was to get rid of God from government, boy did they miss their point,” Lillback said.  “Because they turned around and thanked Him for everything that they had. It shows the utter historical absurdity of ‘the godless Constitution’.”

Constitution’s Last Words Reference Christ

And God isn’t really absent from the Constitution or its authors’ lives.

“They are not godless,” Lillback insisted. “They are people who, at the very end of their work, said, ‘In the year of our Lord, 1787.’  The very last words in the Constitution are a reference to Jesus Christ.”

He concluded, “It’s no surprise then that the ultimate motto is We are One Nation Under God.”

It’s Treason

Any Congressman that votes for illegal aliens to receive one red cent of benefits, should be removed from office and tried for treason.  That is my money that I have paid into for decades.  They are not deserving of anything but a quick trip back to their homeland.

Being raised on a farm, I learned the value of hard work.  I learned how to drive a tractor at a very early age, probably around 10 or 12 years of age.  At fourteen I was hired out to a family member to work every day including Saturday from 7:00 AM till 7:30 PM.  I earned $10 a day.  Hard work and self reliance was instilled at an early age and has continued throughout my life.  I worked for almost 60 years, and so did my wife.

I know some will cry crocodile tears over this essay, but I said what I said.  Why are we as a people electing representatives who allow our country to be changed from what it was, to what it will become by illegals who care nothing about our way of life?  Look at the protests, they hate our government, unless they are receiving our money.  It is a fundamental changing of the values of America.  It is time to stop the insanity.  

Let me repeat, any Congressman who votes to approve any budget that gives our money away in benefits to illegals needs to be tried for treason.  They are contributing to the decline and fall of America.

God have mercy on us and save us from the stupidity and the purposeful destruction of this land that is a God ordained Republic. Rh
