Have Americans Forgotten Their Pledge, God, And Protected Rights?

Pledge of Allegiance: I pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.

The Bill of Rights

The Ten Commandments

John Locke, in The Second Treatise of Government, introduces the notion of the individual's God-given inalienable rights, of which all individuals are entitled, and which provide the moral collection of civil society.  "The state of Nature has a law of Nature to govern it, which obliges everyone, and reason, which is at that law, teaches all mankind who will but consult it, that being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty or possessions; for men being all the workmanship of one omnipotent and infinitely wise Maker; all the servants of one sovereign Master, sent into the world by His order and about His business; they are His property, whose workmanship they are made to last during His, not one another's place..."  John Locke (1632-1704) was an English philospher who wrote two important works, Essay concerning Human Understanding and Two Treatises on Civil Government, both published in 1690, quickly established him as the leading philosopher of freedom.

Censorship, Media Bias, and Fake Impeachment Charges

Censorship, Media Bias, and Fake Impeachment Charges President Trump hasn't even left office and the left has run over all conservatives in its quest for Communism.  The unprecedented censorship and yet another fruitless impeachment process couldn't wait.  After calling for violence at least 28 times in the last year, the Democrats have the gall to suggest Trump incited violence on January 6th.  Anyone reading his message knows that claim has absolutely no merit whatsoever. In fact, read it yourself : Donald Trump: (02:44) The media will not show the magnitude of this crowd. Even I, when I turned on today, I looked, and I saw thousands of people here, but you don’t see hundreds of thousands of people behind you because they don’t want to show that.

Turn your cameras please and show what’s really happening out here because these people are not going to take it any lo...

Madam speaker, in his annual we’ll address to our predecessors in Congress in 1862, President Abraham Lincoln spoke of the duty of the Patriot in an hour of decisive crisis for the American people. “Fellow citizens,” he said, “We cannot escape history. We will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance or insignificance can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down in honor, or dishonor, to the latest generation. Even we here,” he said, “hold the power and bear the responsibility.” In the Bible, St. Paul wrote, “Think on these things.” We must think on what Lincoln told us. We even here, even us here, hold the power and bear the responsibility. We, you and I...
