*Piano music* Please, I am, I am, I am, I am.
I can't help you.
See you.
I can't help you.
I can't help you.
We celebrate all across the nation.
Amen.
But what are we celebrating?
How many people are there just for the fireworks?
How many are oblivious to the founding principles upon which this nation was based?
I am torn, ladies and gentlemen, between what our forefathers intended for us and what we have actually become.
In the councils and the meetings of many organizations and people around this world, There's one principle that's 100% alien.
Absolutely contrary to what our forefathers believed and what true Americans everywhere should believe.
You are a fruit of the universe.
You have the right to be healed.
The unique idea of the Declaration of Independence, as penned by our forefathers, was that - Yes.
The recognition that people's rights are granted directly by the Creator, not by the state.
And that the people then, and only then, grant rights to government.
The concept is so simple, yet so very fundamental and far-reaching, that many cannot grasp it.
There is a supreme thought.
That everything sprang from this thought.
That it was planned to have order, and indeed it does.
There are definite laws, called natural laws, the laws of nature, that reflect the will of this Creator.
Our forefathers said that the Creator, after bringing into existence all of the material things in the universe, then created life.
After he had created life, he gave one particular species the ability to reason, to form original thought, to think.
Man.
And that with this ability to reason, he endowed man with certain unalienable rights.
That's unalienable, not inalienable.
The authority is the Declaration of Independence where it specifically states unalienable rights.
And that the people give some rights to government for the mutual benefit and protection of the whole of the people and...
And the people can take these rights away from the government any time that they want.
Rights are not endowed upon the people by government.
America's founding fathers embraced a previously unheard of political philosophy which held that people are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.
This was the statement of guiding principle for the new nation, and as such had to be into a concrete charter for government.
The Constitution of the United States of America became that charter.
Other forms of government, ladies and gentlemen, past and present, rely on the state as the grantor of human rights.
America's founders, however, believed that a government made up of imperfect people Exercising power over other imperfect people should possess only limited powers.
And through their Constitution, they wished to secure the blessings of liberty for themselves and for posterity by limiting the powers of government.
Through it, they delegated to government only those rights they wanted it to have, holding to themselves all powers, not delegated by the Constitution.
They even provided the means for controlling those powers they had granted to government.
One of the greatest warnings ever issued to the people of this great nation was to stay out of the affairs of foreign nations, not to get entangled in foreign problems.
It has beaches.
It has mountains.
It's mysterious.
It's obvious.
It's hot.
It's cruel.
It roars.
It whimpers.
It's real life.
Confess or we put out your eyes.
Even though it's make-believe.
I confess.
I keep up a dark with my voodoo.
Don't hit me again.
Please don't hit me again.
Come to Haiti.
These were the unique American ideas.
One, there's a Creator.
The Creator endowed man with certain unalienable rights, and that we as a nation should stay away from foreign entanglements.
This is the crux upon which our forefathers cast the future.
The world then and the world now are two entirely different places.
The ideals and principles which they gave us apply equally as well to this world as they did to theirs.
Yet every day we're being told that the Constitution is an outdated, old document that does not provide for the unseen problems of a modern world that was written by dottering old men two hundred and eighteen years ago.
However, anyone who gives any study to the Constitution, to that document, quickly can see that within the document is life.
You see, our Founding Fathers provided that this document, the Constitution of the United States of America, can live forever.
Forever.
It provides, within the document, A method for us, the people, but only through the will of the people, through set methods outlined within the document itself, to provide for unseen problems.
The fact that we have chosen, most of the time, not to mess with that document, not to change it, not to call constitutional conventions, and not to frivolously write amendments to the document, Many of the present amendments were not legally and constitutionally created and applied.
It means that we, the people, believe that the document suffices in its form.
For if it did not, we could indeed change it.
In fact, we could get rid of it, if we so desired.
Free people, understanding the roots of our freedom and the protections put in place to prevent a government from usurping our Creator-endowed rights, have decided to leave it alone.
And still, I am torn between the world that was then and the world that is now.
For from my vantage point here, behind this microphone, ladies and gentlemen, I look out over a nation mostly of ignorant sheeple who do not possess a copy of the Constitution of the United States or what we celebrate today, the Declaration of Independence, nor do they know what those documents contain.
They have some hazy idea about freedom of speech or separation of church and state, something That doesn't even exist and is not even mentioned within the Constitution of the United States of America.
How many of us really understand how different we have become?
How many of us really understand how different we have become?
I'm now standing on a balcony on the 10th floor of the CBS studios.
The contestants are gathered below me in the parking lot.
My assistants and I will throw prizes down to the crowd and if they catch them, they keep them.
That's all there is to it.
Now let's turn on the PA system and start the fun.
Can you hear me folks?
Who do we have first, Phil?
Well, Bob, our first contestant is a consulting engineer who used to play center field for his high school baseball team.
Meet Mr. Ronald Hartson of Canoga Park, California!
Well, welcome aboard, Ron.
And tell me, how were you out there in center field, Ron?
Did you drop many?
Well, I booted a few.
Well, let's hope you're in top form today, Ron, because I'm holding a 21-jewel Fenris wristwatch.
How would you like to give it a try?
You bet!
Then get ready, because... Here it comes!
And he caught it!
Take a look inside the box, Ron.
There's a watch!
And money!
Yes, it's a surprise bonus of two crisp hundred-dollar bills!
Now, Ron, I'm holding a lovely piece of American tourister luggage.
Would you like to try for it?
Well, I don't know.
I'm going to open this suitcase, Ron, and place inside it a five-hundred-dollar Stiebel catalog gift certificate!
Now, how do you feel?
Can I ask my wife?
Go for it, Ron!
Go for it!
Well, okay.
She's the boss.
It's a bit on the bulky side, so you'll have to be pretty agile.
I'll give it a try.
Ron had better be agile indeed, because what he doesn't know is that in addition to the $500 Spiegel catalog gift certificate, the suitcase also contains not one, Not two, but three solid gold bars weighing 85 pounds each.
And after a 100-foot fall, this baby's gonna carry quite a load.
Get ready, Ronald Hodgson of Canoga Park, California, because here it comes!
I guess Ron booted another one, and I'm afraid his brand new watch got spoiled in the bargain.
Moving right along, it's catch-all time, when we'll just toss merchandise over the side, and whoever catches it, keeps it.
Are you ready?
And here goes!
Can you describe some of the action bells?
Be glad to, Bob.
An only woman has just snagged a Sunbeam poster.
And what?
A Hamilton Beetle electric knife has come down point first, I'm afraid, on a man dressed as sun-soda vegetable.
I think it's eternal.
Oh, there's something.
A lady was so pleased over catching a steel's completely immersible electric coffee maker that she failed to notice a plummeting cap and gas ring.
Tappan, the leader in kitchen appliances since 1881.
Most of the contestants managed to dodge the amount of fever, but the year's supply of Gaines' dog food certainly caused quite a stir.
Three cuppers joined up and made a great try for the dining room set from Ventura Collection by Keller.
Two or three more and the judge might have had it.
Remember, this package could contain anything from feathers to lit balloons.
So, while the contestants get ready, Bill will let the home audience in on the secret.
Today's mystery package contains a dream house.
That's right, a prefabricated golden medallion home for the ultimate in total electric living, complete with wall-to-wall carpeting and a real brick fireplace.
Altogether, it weighs over 36 tons!
Are you ready?
And here it comes!
Well, that about wraps up today's show.
But nobody throws away a loser, because every contestant gets a Price Brothers cash event to keep the game to play and enjoy for a while.
Quote,
Let virtue, honor, the love of liberty, be the soul of this Constitution, and it will become the source of great and extensive happiness to this and future generations.
Okay.
Vice, ignorance, and want of vigilance will be the only enemies able to destroy it.
End quote.
John Jay America's founding fathers knew that it takes more than a perfect plan of government to preserve liberty.
Something else is needed.
Some moral principle diffused among the people to unite and strengthen the urge to peaceful observance of law.
They recognized that the raw materials of a free government are people who can act morally Without compulsion, who do not willfully violate the rights of others, and who love liberty enough to demand that government's power is very limited.
Once I had this whole box full of dead pigeons, a whole box full, say 12, 14 pigeons.
I used to take him in the playroom and try to make him do things.
Stuff like, well, I'd take him up to the roof and throw him off and see if he'd fly or something.
Or glide.
And all he'd ever do is just fall into the street.
That's all he'd ever do.
That's about it.
Our founders used the word virtuous.
to describe such people.
Defined by Webster, virtue is a conformity to a standard of right, that which is right.
But whatever word is used to describe it, such a moral standard is the necessary fountainhead of a free society.
Without it, chaos begins to reign, and out of chaos always comes Order.
Order in the form of dictatorial powers.
The Declaration of Independence referred to Nature's God, the Creator, and the Supreme Judge of the World and Divine Providence.
Our nation's founders came together voluntarily, ladies and gentlemen, to create a limited government to secure for them and posterity Their God-given rights to life, liberty, and property.
Such liberty, they believed, rested on three great supports.
Thank you.
in the future.
She picks up the feeling, you know, like the fact that like the women are sort of copper, you know, from Bolivia, you know, from Australia, and like, you know, like the blacks, you know, like the how we like the women are in their mouth too.
Like she keeps up in the seat, so, you know, and then, like, paying attention, you know, like, to be able to call a chick with a starving kid, you know.
And then, like, fuck, because, like, we're not only going to be like those people, but like, you know, people who can, you know, and that's the effect that comes from.
And then, like, you saw me.
He's great himself, so, you know, that, or, you know, so beautiful.
He's so beautiful.
They were the natural law and unalienable natural rights granted by the Creator.
A written constitution to assure a government of laws, not of rulers, and, dear listeners, virtue among the people. - Mm.
Virtue among the people, the best defense against tyranny.
Then their own words, their own words, if you listen to them, are eloquent reminders of their devotion to this belief.
Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports.
It is substantially true that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government." George Washington said that in his farewell address, the same address where he warned us against foreign entanglements.
We may look up to armies for our defense, but virtue is our best security.
It is not possible that any state should long remain free where virtue is not supremely honored.
Samuel Adams said that.
You're dazed, bewildered, trapped in a world of nighttime where sun collides with color and shadows explode.
Yeah, this is no science fiction adventure.
This is the real life, everyday role of a pilot.
Pot.
Grass.
Weed.
Marijuana.
It all means the same thing.
You smoke it and you get high.
Maybe you smoke it because it's the end game and you want to be with it.
Maybe you rebel against your parents or maybe you're just looking for kicks.
Whatever the reason, ask yourself this.
Is it worth the risk?
All the facts aren't in our marijuana.
But here's one that is.
A recently studied at Duke University that shows that the long use of marijuana can result in a permanent loss of healing.
So the next time someone has you a joke, maybe you won't just get stoned.
Maybe you'll get stoned.
Yeah.
Quote, Virtue must underlay all institutional arrangements if they are to be healthy and strong.
The principles of democracy are as easily destroyed as human nature is corrupted.
End quote.
John Adams.
In my life, I have come to realize that evil emanates from the hearts of men and from nowhere else, ladies and gentlemen.
You may attribute it to whatever you wish.
If there is a forest where evil exists, and you take man out of that forest, and I'm not talking environmentalism, I'm talking about a location where evil exists, it's not.
If you take man out of that forest, there will be no evil.
How many of you have discovered this in your life?
How many of you understand exactly what that means?
How can we entrust to men supreme power over us as a government granting rights to us when they have this very same evil within their hearts that they struggle with on a daily basis?
Most men, if confronted with enough temptation, always succumb.
And I say most men.
I have seen very, very, very few who will not.
But I can count them on one hand, and generally on two fingers, that I've known in my entire life.
So how, ladies and gentlemen, could we ever entrust such power to anyone?
That is why we were appointed by our founders as the watchdogs of the government, of, for, and by the people.
And what... what has happened to us?
Hey, man.
You know, if we got this thing started, you know, everybody started buying albums, and we could probably get rid of it.
Oh, that would be really fab, you know?
That would be incredible.
That would be great.
I mean, like, you know... We could get Robbie Robertson, you know, to be Secretary of War, you know?
That would be so cool.
I mean, look, everybody would earn the shirts though, you know?
I know.
I mean, man, with people like Garcia, Jerry Garcia, like, and have him, like, you know, head of giving out gowns, you know?
Or, you know, Phil Spector, you know?
He could do better.
He could lower the net.
Lower the net?
Yeah.
That sounds interesting.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Alexis de Tocqueville, the French statesman who traveled across America in the 1830s and wrote a two-volume study entitled Democracy in America, is widely quoted as observing.
Quote, America is great because she is good.
and And if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great." End quote.
Heard every night across this nation.
What does it mean?
Where does it come from?
How have we sunk to such depths?
And why is it that most people don't even know the depths to which we have sunk?
Quote, We hold these truths to be self-evident.
All men are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.
And then later, that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men." Our Declaration of Independence acknowledges a Creator as the source of the unalienable rights that governments are formed to secure.
This acknowledgment was the very foundation of the Constitution of the United States of America.
Indeed, it was the foundation of the Declaration of Independence which first stated this principle.
What are those unalienable rights with which we are endowed?
They may be described in many ways, but the English jurist Sir William Blackstone wrote in 1766, and I quote, These may be reduced to three principal articles, one, the right of personal security or life, two, the right of personal liberty, and three, the right of private property, end quote.
America's written Constitution was to protect and secure God-given individual rights to life, liberty, and property.
What is going on?
These are being taken away from us by the institution, the government, which we set into place to protect those Creator-endowed rights.
If we ever allow this foundation to be eroded and lose faith that these rights are a gift directly from God to each individual, Then, dear listeners, we lose the basis of the greatness of the miracle that is America.
You see, the ultimate source of these principles and ideals, the ultimate source that is embodied in the Declaration of Independence and in the Constitution and in the Bill of Rights is the natural law.
Sir William Blackstone, the same eminent English jurist, also said this, quote, Man must necessarily be subject to the laws of his Creator.
This will of his Maker is called the law of nature, and this law of nature is, of course, superior to any other.
No human laws are of any validity if contrary to this, and such of them as are valid derive all their force from this original.
End quote.
Don't go away. - Okay.
I'll be right back after this brief pause.
Thank you.
Don't ask why Remember those fabulous six weeks?
The marches, the gin, the rap card burning, and best of all, the music.
Well, now Apple House has collected the finest of those songs on one album called Golden Protest.
Performed by the original artists who made them famous.
You'll thrill too.
Society's Child by Janis Dean.
Perfect Valley Sunday by The Monkees.
What Have They Done To The Rain by The Quidditchers.
In the ghetto by Elvis Presley.
Silent night, seven o'clock news by Simon & Garfunkel.
And who can ever forget this all-time classic?
Yes, Barry McGuire's immortal Eve of Destruction.
And, of course, my own Masters of War, all for the incredibly low price of $3.95.
And, if you order now, you'll also receive a Treasury of Acid Rock, featuring vanilla fudge, new chairs, pretty paint, Moby Grapes, an electric cruise, Jeff's Airplane, Lothar and the Hand People, to name but a few.
Plus, as part of this special limited offer, you'll also get the best of the supergroups, with traffic, food, wine, freight, Jim DeBaker's Air Force, and many, many others.
Yes, this is a collector's dream, gold in protest, plus two fabulous 60's albums, all for only $3.95.
If you were to purchase these collections separately, they'd cost you hundreds of dollars, and many could not be found anywhere at any price.
Well, it's time for my suit heels to be laundered.
But here's where I'm going to tell you how you can get this amazing record package.
Here's how to order this amazing record package.
Just send $3.95 and check your money order, plus your name and address to Apple House Box, 7BK, South Bend, Indiana.
Once again, that's $3.95 and check your money at your Apple House Box.
That's what you need to do today.
The Founders, ladies and gentlemen, did not establish the Constitution for the purpose of granting rights.
They established this government of laws, not a government of men, in order to secure each person's creator-endowed rights through life, liberty, and property.
Don't go away, folks.
I'll be right back after this very short pause.
Voice of the people must be heard at all times. .
It's all right, my Lord.
This conference is for us Caucasians.
You know, I might be gone a little cold in my forehead.
I'm going to eat with a fork.
It's all about you and me going for a little spin.
Congratulations to the nomination for the presidency of the United States.
And now, the Manna Heritage Productions League.
How Democracy Works.
Number 43.
The Miracle of Pre-Elections.
Pre-Elections depend upon a free people.
From the earliest stages, the voice of the people must be heard at all times.
Sorry, boy, this conference is for us Caucasians.
Oh, how much you got all those holes in your ass?
Ninety for sport.
How about you and me going for a little spin?
Congratulations in nomination for the presidency of these United States A 1973 Avocado Green Party at GTO.
The representative of all the people responds to the will of the other people.
Those cynical manipulators of all that's best in America.
Henry, what won't they suit you?
Listen, Bob Lynch, thank God it wasn't an empirical.
You wouldn't think the change.
Well, what should I do to combat this infamy?
Develop a pendant?
Grow a grill?
Be as I've told you, I got the plot.
And across the nation, the voice of the people responds to the will of the people.
I'd vote for the pioneers every time.
This baby's got 350 horses under the hood.
We need that extra power on today's highways.
Anything but Nixon, ma'am.
A blender.
Anything.
Modern technology can record the voice of the people with the utmost precision.
Pontiac, 38%.
Nixon, 41%.
Go get him, Pontiac!
Enabling those in power to remain faithful to their oath of office.
Now, many of you may wonder why, in announcing our withdrawal from Southeast Asia and the legalization of marijuana, I am wearing these ludicrous headlamps on my ears.
Let me explain.
The will of the people demands the frank exchange of opinion.
Mr. Candidate, perhaps you'd give the panel some idea of your general approach.
Boy, can that baby hang in there on the corner.
I just want to say, Harry, that in the accelerating times in which we live, we must not change the way things are discussed.
Uh, how many miles does she get to go?
Oh, 20, 22 in a long haul.
But rather negotiate the tricky curves of the future.
If only Kennedy had been a Continental, he'd still be with us.
And if only Roosevelt had been a wheelchair.
The will of the people is clear.
Adjustments must be made.
I'm sorry, Spearow.
It's the role of the people.
That's what I thought.
Spearow, he dance no more on the heads of punks.
But tell Spearow one thing, boss, before he waddles off into something.
Who is new, Spearow?
This is Harrod, old friend, but... a crime.
A poor act so maxed am I. That's good, boss.
It's right he dance good on the heads of punks.
In the heat of an election year, however, mere adjustments are not enough.
Yes, the will of the people is a cruel mistress.
Yet it is in the darkest hour that she teaches her most lasting lesson.
Why do they hate me?
I'm the only one to be positive.
This, the seventh crisis, is something hot to pick up the plot.
Think!
Climb, not sicker.
If the seventh crisis is something hot bigger to block, think, think, think, think.
God help me, I say he's got to be a bridge.
Fix-a-thumb is a clear choice.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Come on, get me a car, too.
Hey!
the will of the people, the representative of all the people is transformed from a representative of none of the people into a representative of some of the people.
Democracy at work.
Oh, yeah.
Someone's coming.
Someone good.
Someone rugged.
Someone smooth.
Someone long, sleek, exciting, powerful.
Someone you can sniff into as easily as he sniffs into you.
The all-new 1973 Nixon GLP.
You want a president with breakthrough trust.
A president who won't boil over when he gets on.
Above all, a president who starts first time in the Cold War.
Try the 1973 Nixon.
He lifts the road to prosperity like a tiger.
And he breaks, just like a little human boy.
You're in the generation of two, and this show is only one.
The preceding was a political announcement paid for by the Nixon-Mack campaign committee.
The voice of the people is heard once more.
Don't believe it, man.
He'll do anything.
Anything!
With the will of the people duly satisfied, the race for the highest office in the land, not a prize, but a privilege, enters its final lap.
Here in tiny Buena Vista, California, the Democratic candidates took a definite stand on the busing issue today by forcing seven school buses into a multiple accident.
From all over the nation have come congratulations and pledges of support.
Move those kids off the road, will ya?
They're holding up traffic.
In other dramatic developments, the President appointed a Buick to the Supreme Court, announced plans for a summit meeting with a Zotts limousine, and pledged a vote to all auto-Americans.
Mr. Nixon himself cruised down to Lafayette for a $100 a tank fill-up, accompanied by Mrs. Nixon, now a Chevy Mover, and the seven White House Volkswagen's.
And so the election reaches a fitting climax.
One more, folks.
We're about to spin an entry into the demo derby.
Governor Wallace of Alabama, the 1958 Don Pickup.
And all three contestants are hustling around in tiny, figurative-looking constructions.
The President does miss the Pontiac, and, and the Pontiac is a pickup.
The President comes around again, and rear-ends the Pontiac.
He's got that extra life, that extra excitement.
- And this is the body, and the body, I can't think of.
The brother comes around again, and the red company, he's got that extra light, that extra sight, that, he will end the world, he's got the light, again and again and again, again, again, so it looks like six and a seven feet soon. - And through the miracle of pre-election, history is made once more.
Do you, Richard Nixon, engine number 5286A76, swear to uphold the oath of office of the President of these United States?
The will of the people's rights be stowing upon the choice of some of the people to trust them all.
Thomas Jefferson said, That man has been subjected by his Creator to the moral law, of which his feelings are conscious, as it is sometimes called, are the evidence with which his Creator has furnished him
the moral duties which exist between individual and individual in a state of nature, accompany them into a state of society, their Maker not having released them from those duties on their forming themselves into a nation in the world.
End quote.
I feel totally different.
Absolutely different.
And I've been out and, you know, crying.
You know, like, it makes you feel a little warm inside.
I mean, wow, like, all of a sudden I get, um, you know, to help with these poor people, you know, who are being abandoned.
I mean, you know, we fasted, you know, at school for a day, you know.
Actually, you know, two periods in that lunch, I think, you know.
But, you know, it was really fun.
You know, fasting is so fun.
James Madison wrote, quote, The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hand.
Whether of one, a few, or many, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny." End quote.
Hi, I'm Frank Rizzo asking you to give generously to help support the Philadelphia Police League for Retarded Children.
Organization that gives a retarded child the opportunity to become a policeman.
Founded in 1844, the League provides training in every aspect of crime prevention, from tying one's own shoelace to lying under oath.
Many of the youngsters aided by the League have risen to high position in law enforcement.
In fact, all of us have.
So please help us to rid the streets of morons, psychopaths, and mental defectors and put them where they belong, on the courts.
An enlightened, committed people who understand the principles of our Constitution are the most effective means of preserving liberty.
James Madison said this, and I quote, Although all men are born free, slavery has been the general lot of the human race.
Ignorant, they have been cheated.
Asleep, they have been surprised.
divided, the yoke has been forced upon them.
But what is the lesson?
The people ought to be enlightened, to be awakened, to be united, that after establishing a government they should watch over it.
It is universally admitted that a well-instructed people alone can be permanently free.
End quote.
And now, her hymn.
End quote.
You took me forever You cried out like I was waiting And break the Simmons and worms Under the dark Our Fatura, Iには
It was just the crazy time You took me forever And they came Only three days We're with you all the way Just across the bay Only three days We're with you all the way Just across the bay Just across
the bay It's a great mother girl, I don't know if I'd be upset if I'm the only evil type around.
Just because I can't see that doesn't mean that I don't care.
The last time, brother, I'll stay for me.
Oh, the present day, I'll stay with you all the way.
Just across the bay.
Oh, the present day, I'll stay with you all the way.
Just across the bay.
Oh, the present day, I'll stay with you all the way.
Just across the bay.
I'm the world that's on the ground.
I need it from the ground to come to the ground.
So many grievous hearts, many likes to see it from.
But I know you'll always be there for that home.
Oh, the present day, I'll stay with you all the way.
Just across the bay.
Oh, the present day, I'll stay with you all the way.
Just across the bay.
We'll be there for that home.
Amendment 1 to the Constitution of the United States of America.
And I quote, in part, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.
It is the pillar and support of America's Constitution.
Thomas Jefferson said, quote, In matters of religion, I have considered that its free exercise is placed by the Constitution independent of the power of the general government, end quote.
This government was established as a secular entity to protect the religious freedom of all peoples to practice whatever religion they wished to practice.
It was never founded as a Christian state or any other religious state, for the only thing that guarantees that you will not be persecuted in the prosecution of your religion is that the state not have any interest in any religion.
So don't believe all of the bullshit that you've been hearing about this being a Christian nation.
It protects Christians.
