"And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are a gift of God?" -- Thomas Jefferson

"And yet the same revolutionary belief for which our forbears fought is still at issue around the globe, the belief that the rights of man come not from generosity of the state but from the hand of God." -- John F. Kennedy

"Because of their belief that power had come from God to each individual, the Framers began the Constitution with the words 'we the people'" -- Newt Gingrich

"There's never been a nation like the United States, ever. It begins with the principles of our founding documents, principles that recognize that our rights come from God, not from our government." -- Marco Rubio

John Shimkus, Genesis of the Bible, and global warming: House Energy and Commerce Committee

For complete article and references, click here.


John Shimkus has been a target of ridicule because he is a Christian, because he believes what the Bible says, and because he speaks openly in regard to his faith.



He is in the news now because he is seeking to be chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
 
 


Some bloggers laugh at him because In proceedings from the March 25, 2009, hearing of the U.S. House Subcommittee on Energy and Environment, he read from Genesis:



And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Genesis 8:21-22
