“God who gave us life gave us liberty. 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 of the Gift of God? ” – Thomas Jefferson
“The ‘why’ of America, who we are as a people, is the Declaration of Independence. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights.” The constitution is there to do one thing: Protect God-given rights. That’s what makes America different than every other country in the world. No other country in the world has it’s rights based in God-given rights. Not government-given rights. And some people say, “Well, Faith has nothing to do with it.” Faith has everything to do with it. If our president believes that our rights come to us form the state, everything government gives you it can take away. The role of the government is to protect rights that cannot be taken away…. Understand where those rights come from, who we are as Americans, and the foundational principles by which we have changed the world.” – Rick Santorum
