"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

Hugo Chavez wants the AN to grant him Enabling Law powers

Chavez asked congress to give him special powers to enact laws by decree for one year, just before a new legislature takes office with a larger contingent of opposition lawmakers.  His request is expected to win easy approval in the outgoing legislature dominated by Chavez allies.

"Chavez told Flores that he would start working immediately to dictate a series of law decrees to be ready on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, in other words, there will be no vacation for the government," click here.





Earlier in the year: "Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Sunday he has asked film producers to make "socialist soap operas," with government help if needed, because there's too much capitalism on television."
