"Our institutions of freedom will not survive unless they are constantly replenished by the faith that gave them birth. Our greatest need is to regain confidence in our spiritual heritage." --Secretary of State John Foster Dulles
"Every child in America should be acquainted with his own country. He should read books that furnish him with ideas that will be useful to him in life and practice. As soon as he opens his lips, he should rehearse the history of his own country." --Noah Webster, On the Education of Youth in America, 1788
"Whoever controls the past, controls the future." --George Orwell (1984)
"People without a heritage are easily persuaded." --Karl Marx
Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, Query 14, 1781 - "History by apprising [citizens] of the past will enable them to judge of the future; it will avail them of the experience of other times and other nations; it will qualify them as judges of the actions and designs of men; it will enable them to know ambition under every disguise it may assume; and knowing it, to defeat its views."
"While most nations trace their origin to barbarians, the foundations of our nation were laid by civilized men, by Christians." --A renowned New England clergyman, Lyman Beecher was quoted in McGuffey's Eclectic Sixth Reader, 1907

Note and challenge to secular humanist:
See
Theocracy? before inadequately
and falsely dismissing these pages as promoting theocracy. Numerous blog
discussions and commentaries have weakly dismissed the HISTORY presented here by
simply claiming EarsToHear.net is promoting a theocracy which is a lame excuse
used to escape and avoid answering this challenge: What new and improved wisdom
do secular liberal humanists use to justify violating
"the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God," which was the foundation of
America's Founders?
America’s Republic: How the Great Experiment Came About (and How We Keep
It) - A brief history of America, its founding documents, and what
we can do to keep the flame of liberty burning bright. - By Lawrence W. Reed
"It is impossible for the man of pious reflection not to perceive in it [the
Constitution] a finger of that Almighty hand which has been so frequently and
signally extended to our relief in the critical stages of the revolution."
--James
Madison, Federalist No. 37
Progressives have yet to reveal what their
foundation is, what is their basis for determining the boundaries of how civil,
"unalienable Rights" are to be "entitled." what new and improved wisdom do they
proclaim which supersedes that of
America's Founding Document, where the boundaries for how "Rights" are to be
"entitled" are if they do not violate "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God."
I have yet to receive a response that defines their secular humanistic liberal
foundation or basis of their "politically
correct" definition of morality if not that of the Holy Scriptures,
from which
America's founders based our founding Document, the
Declaration of Independence and the
Constitution, regardless any all the false claims otherwise based upon
facts, writings,
and warnings of
our founders.

The United States of America Is Not a Democracy
-
Frank Salvato
“Pure democracy is the most vile form of government...such democracies have ever
been spectacles of turbulence and contention: have ever been found incompatible
with personal security or the rights of property: and have in general been as
short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.” – James
Madison, Father of the US Constitution The word Democracy does not appear in the
Declaration of Independence or the United States Constitution...and for good
reason. The United States is not a Democracy. It is a Constitutional Republic
and it is essential that the American people understand this reality. If we
continue to allow the untruth that the United States of America is a Democracy
to flourish we invite the demise of our government and our nation; we invite the
cessation of the American Experiment and doom future generations to a fate
unknown. See also:

"He is the best friend of American liberty who is most sincere and
active in promoting true and undefiled religion and who sets Himself with the
greatest firmness to bear down profanity and immorality of every kind...God
grant that in America true religion and civil liberty may be inseparable and
that the unjust attempts to destroy the one, may in the issue tend to the
support and establishment of both." John Witherspoon, Signer of the
Declaration of Independence, Member of the Continental Congress, President of
Princeton College and Pastor. Spoken in a sermon delivered May 17, 1776. "Republics are created by the virtue,
public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise
are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the
profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people, in order to betray
them." Joseph Story
How the Ten commandments are expressed in Civil Law in American History. United States Marine Corps, Father
Dennis Edward O'Brien. This U.S. Navy chaplain, who served on Guadalcanal during
WWII: "It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of
the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of
speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us the freedom to
demonstrate. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the
flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn
the flag."
Abraham Lincoln in 1863 honoring the
over 51,000 Confederate and Union soldiers who were wounded, missing, or dead at
the Battle of Gettysburg: "It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated
here to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we
take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure
of devotion -- that we here highly resolve these dead shall not have died in
vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that
government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from
the earth."
Distinguishing between Patriots and
cowards, Samuel Adams, said: "Contemplate the mangled bodies of your
countrymen, and then say, 'What should be the reward of such sacrifices?' ... If
ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the
animating contest of freedom...crouch down and lick the hands, which feed you.
May your chains sit lightly upon you, ahttps://oll.libertyfund.org/titles/816#Sandoz_0018-01_2360nd may posterity forget that ye were our
countrymen!"
A PRAYER FOR OUR NATION AND THE PEOPLE - Delivered by Reverend Samuel Langdon,
1788 (See complete sermon here:
THE
REPUBLIC OF THE ISRAELITES AN EXAMPLE TO THE AMERICAN STATES "Preserve your government with the utmost attention and solicitude, for it is
the remarkable gift of heaven. From year to year be careful in the choice of
your representatives and all the higher powers of government. "Fix your eyes upon men of good understanding and known honesty; men of
knowledge, improved by experience; men who fear God and hate covetousness; who
love truth and righteousness, and sincerely wish the public welfare. "Beware of such as are cunning rather than wise; who prefer their own
interest to everything; whose judgment is partial or fickle, and whom you would
not willingly trust with your own private interests. "When meetings are called for the choice of your rulers, do not carelessly
neglect them or give your votes with indifference ... but act with serious
deliberation and judgment, as in a most important matter, and let the faithful
of the land serve you. "Let not men openly irreligious and immoral become your legislators; for how
can you expect good laws to be made by men who have no fear of God ... and who
boldly trample on the authority of his commands?... If the legislative body is
corrupt, you will soon have bad men for counselors, corrupt judges, unqualified
justices, and officers in every department who will dishonor their stations...." "Therefore be always on your guard against parties and the methods [of]
unworthy men, and let distinguished merit always determine your vote. And when
all places in government are filled with the best men you can find, behave
yourselves as good subjects; obey the laws, [be] cheerfully subject to such
taxation as the necessities of the public call for. Give tribute to whom tribute
is due, custom to whom custom, fear to whom fear, and honor to whom honor [is
due] as the gospel commands you. "Never give countenance to turbulent men, who wish to distinguish themselves
and rise to power by forming combinations and exciting insurrections against
government. For this can never be the right way to redress real grievances...." "I call upon you also to support schools in all your towns, that the rising
generation may not grow up in ignorance.... It is a debt you owe to your
children and that God to whom they belong...." "I call upon you to preserve the knowledge of God in the land and attend to
the revelation written to us from heaven. "If you neglect or renounce that religion taught and commanded in holy
scriptures, think no more of freedom, peace, and happiness...." "May the general government of these United States , when established appear
to be the best which the nations have yet known, and be exalted by uncorrupted
religion and morals! And may the everlasting gospel diffuse its Heavenly light
and spread Righteousness, Liberty , and Peace through the whole world."
...Judge Them within Context: As we survey what they did, I caution
you from the outset to avoid the sin of intertemporal bigotry—judging those of
the late 18th Century by standards and conventions of the early 21st. This ought
to be seen as fair and commonsensical, yet I see people commit that sin all the
time. The more extreme say, “Thomas Jefferson was a bad man and shouldn’t be
listened to because he owned slaves,” for instance.
Every time I hear that, I think to myself, “Just like this critic,
Thomas Jefferson wasn’t perfect but he did more for liberty in a week than that
forgettable critic will likely do in his lifetime.” It may make you feel good
for the moment to engage in some self-righteous breast-beating or sanctimonious
virtue-signaling, but you betray your ignorance by displaying such bigotry.
...Imagine if we could bring the Wright Brothers back to life for
an hour so the critic could berate them. He would say, “You dummies! You two
made this rickety flying machine and didn’t even install seat belts and tray
tables, let alone in-flight movies. What good were you?!”
