"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

Obamacare and Church



5/11/10 flashback, click here for article.  "On Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi urged Catholic leaders to “instruct” their parishioners to support immigration reforms, saying clerics should “play a very major role” in supporting her policies. However, at the same press conference, she also praised the group of religious sisters whose endorsement of the health care reform bill undercut the U.S. bishops’ push for abortion funding restrictions reports.........
 History reveals that shrewd politicians often quote the Bible or other religious writings in an effort to convince believers that it is only through the government’s legal and political machinations that the “word of God” can be achieved. Once they have acquired the great power they desired and God is of no use to them, they discard the Bible and persecute religious for being “intolerant” or 'dissidents'."
