I will stick with Ben Franklin!

”He who would trade liberty for some temporary security, deserves neither liberty nor security.”

”He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither.”

”People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both.”

”If we restrict liberty to attain security we will lose them both.”

”Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.”

”He who gives up freedom for safety deserves neither.”

”Those who would trade in their freedom for their protection deserve neither.”

Count me in with Ben.

It is amazing that Americans do not realize some of the fundamental things that made our country so different than ones before it. Clearly out schools do a poor job of teaching American history.

It goes far beyond simply a "poor job". My office is right besides a teacher who could fill in for Michael Moore whenever Mr Moore has his inevitable heart attack. His love for every two bit dictator and thug is only surpassed by his desire to Disarm everyone who ISN'T a two bit dictator and thug. I just had to open a port to the website www.godhatesfags.com for a student doing a journalism assignment -and yes, they have this teacher teaching journalism and economics. He lumps ALL Christians into the Westboro types.

Make sure to keep the e-mail for the request to open the port to that web site, so that if someone obejects they will not say you open it without direction.

What, you thought that was their purpose?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!


Seriously, you need to find an old book called 'NEA: Trojan Horse in American Education'. It will spell it all out for you from their own statements just exactly what the public 'education' system considers it's 'purpose'.

Quote:

Another basic principle must be found and accepted. This we have enunciated in the following: "The state maintains free public education to perpetuate itself and to promote its own interests. Free public education is a long-term investment that the state may be a better place in which to live and in which to make a living."

This implies that education of the future will be concerned with the welfare and progress of the individual only as the welfare and progress of the individual contributes to the welfare and progress of society ...

Only education which seeks the reconstruction of society is consistent with and capable of realizing and perpetuating the fundamental principles of democracy...

-- Thomas H. Briggs, setting forth the program of NEA's Committee on the Orientation of Secondary Education, NEA Journal, March 1937, ibid., p. 142

The problem is that we have had Marxists who for more than 100 years have been taking over colleges and universities, libraries, governmental institutions, churches, high schools, and more recently grade schools. Yes, as a conspiracy it was not the super-organized tale that we salivate over, but it is the one of a man who makes a few disciples who then in turn each take disciples, and in so doing undermine the system like an infestation of termites.

One man making disciples and then they in turn bring his ideas to fructition.
Hmmm sound like Christianity.

The truth is that if the Left has been winning is because we Christians have failed in our duty to stop them.
Jesus has all power, yet we often appear powerless when our enemies gain inch after inch.
We Christians could turn the tide of evil upon this nation, if we really wanted it bad enough.

The good thing is that while Christianity has been losing in the west it has been wining in the third world nations.

I am not going to dispute that entirely. I am just not quite sure that I entirely agree.
