Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1781: “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? That they are
not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed, I tremble for my country when I
reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever.”
President Ronald Reagan stated June 16, 1983: “We’re a nation
under God, a living and loving God. But Thomas Jefferson warned us, ‘I tremble
for my country when I reflect that God is just.’ We cannot expect Him to
protect us in crisis if we turn away from Him in our everyday living. But you
know, He told us what to do in II Chronicles. … He said, ‘If my people, which
are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and
turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from Heaven and will forgive
their sin and will heal their land.'”
President Dwight Eisenhower stated in his farewell address, Jan.
17, 1961: “This evening I come to you with a … farewell, and to share a few
final thoughts with you, my country. … We face a hostile ideology – global in
scope, atheistic in character, ruthless in purpose, and insidious in method. …
As we peer into society’s future, we … must avoid the impulse to live only for
today, plundering for our own ease and convenience the precious resources of
tomorrow. We cannot mortgage the material assets of our grandchildren without
risking the loss also of their political and spiritual heritage.”
As for this writer, Samuel Alano, I mean to stand upon the
Constitution. I need no other platform. I shall know but one homeland and one God. The ends
I aim at shall be my America, my Christian Faith, and my historical heritage. I was born an American; I
will live an American; I shall die an American, free from the shackles of secular
geopolitical tyranny.
