“Why do you think we call the last century the great American century? Because AMERICA SAVED THE WORLD -- not once, not twice, but THREE times from the evils of Nazism, communism, and despotism. If you want a little piece of evidence, here’s one fact to show you ...

...how different the American value system is: We’re the only people on the face of the planet, in the history of the entire world, to hold a technological advantage in war AND NOT USE IT FOR CONQUEST, but instead use it to free and liberate people around the world.

In 1945 we had the bomb no one else had.We could have taken that weapon and forced every nation on the planet to submit to us.We could have controlled the entire planet-that’s been the way of the world throughout history! Any time a nation had an advantage in war what do they do?

Conquer their neighbors and conquer as long as we could.We had the ultimate advantage, we could have conquered everyone and instead we took that weapon, we used it to END a war, and then we took OUR money and went and rebuilt the nations that had attacked US.Why would we do that?

Because there’s something different about being an American. And the whole world knows it.” ~Rick Green

"Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime and pure, [and] which denounces against the wicked eternal misery, and [which] insured to the good eternal happiness ...

...are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments."

~Charles Carroll of Carrollton
Signer of the Declaration of Independence
In a letter from Charles Carroll to James McHenry, November 4, 1800.

"The only foundation for a useful education in a republic is to be laid in religion.Without this there can be no virtue, & without virtue there can be no liberty, & liberty is the object & life of all republican gov'ts."

"We profess to be republicans, and yet we neglect the only means of establishing and perpetuating our republican forms of government, that is, the universal education of our youth in the principles of Christianity by the means of the Bible...." (cont.)

Benjamin Rush

"The most perfect maxims and examples for regulating your social conduct and domestic economy, as well as the best rules of morality and
religion, are to be found in the Bible..." (cont.)

"...The moral principles and precepts found in the scriptures ought to form the basis of all our civil constitutions and laws. These principles and precepts have truth, immutable truth, for their foundation...." (cont.)

"No book in the world deserves to be so unceasingly studied and so profoundly mediated upon as the Bible. The first and almost the only book deserving such universal recommendation is the Bible."

~John Quincy Adams, President

"The Bible is the best of all books, for it is the Word of God and teaches us the way to be happy in this world and in the next. Continue therefore to read it and to regulate your life by its precepts."

~John Jay
President, Continental Congress
Author, 'Federalist Papers'
SCOTUS

"Suppose a nation in some distant region should take the Bible for their only law book and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited ... What A Utopia - what a Paradise would this region be! The Bible is the best book in the world!"

~John Adams

"I believe the Bible to be the written Word of God and to contain in it the whole rule of faith and manners."

~Robert Treat Paine

George Washington wasn't a deist. He was a follower of Jesus Christ, a Christian who believed in the "immaculate blood of the lamb" and he prayed to be "more and more in[to] the likeness of thy son, Jesus Christ."

"It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions... There are men, in all ages...who mean to govern well; but THEY MEAN TO GOVERN. They promise to be kind masters; but THEY MEAN TO BE MASTERS... (cont.)

...They think there need be but little restraint upon themselves...The love of power may sink too deep in their own hearts..."
