Did the founders of America intend for God to be banished from the public arena? The idea occurs so regularly in modern times that we tend to think it’s what the founders wanted. For example, recently, a law allowing the posting of the Ten Commandments in Louisiana schools has been blocked as unconstitutional (for the […]

We are often given the impression that the founding fathers intended a “strict separation of church and state” with no religious references allowed in the government. But in reality, on June 28, 1787, during an impasse at the Constitutional Convention, one of the least orthodox of the founding fathers—Dr. Ben Franklin—called on the convention to […]

The founding fathers aimed to ensure our liberty under law, in conformity with the “laws of Nature and of Nature’s God.” Natural law refers to the moral law the Creator has impressed upon the world. For example, Samuel Adams once wrote: “Thou shall do no injury to thy neighbor, is the voice of nature and […]

Some skeptics today like to argue that the founding fathers purposefully left God out of the Constitution. They say that a “Godless Constitution” was the intended design of the document—and they’re wrong. First of all, the authors of the Constitution not only mention God, they even mention that Jesus is God. They do this in […]

Some modern Americans claim to not fear death. On November 15 last year, boxer Mike Tyson told a 14-year-old girl interviewing him that he has no fear of what happens after he dies. When he was asked about his legacy after his death, Tyson told her: “It means absolutely nothing to me. I’m just passing […]

There’s a battle right now related to religion and Oklahoma schools. Oklahoma Superintendent Ryan Walters is in favor of greater religious expression in the public schools of that state. Others in the “The Sooner State,” including the state attorney general and some confused clergy, oppose what Walters is attempting to do. Walters wants school children […]

The Constitution begins “We the people,” not “we the judges.” Lately, there has been a tussle between activist judges and President Trump. Some critics argue that some of these judges are acting as if they were the ones elected to the Oval office. FoxNews reports on the issue of “whether a lower court can properly […]

Bernie Sanders said recently that President Trump’s rule is in effect an “oligarchy” of billionaires. The 83-year old senator from Vermont said, “These are the scariest times in my life.”   Sanders told his Facebook followers: “Are you ready for a boring history lesson? Back in the 1770s, the founding fathers of this country, who […]

President Trump wants to abolish the Department of Education. Sounds outrageous to some. Writing for The Hill, Justin Hawkins notes, “The Trump administration is reportedly preparing an executive order that could eliminate or roll back significant parts of the Department of Education, a move that has already received significant criticism from Trump’s political opponents.” Hawkins also says, […]

To many on the left, the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution seems to be a hurdle to overcome because it stands in the way of their radical agenda. But in reality, the First Amendment is a gift to help keep us free. John Kerry told the World Economic Forum recently that he sees the […]
