DID YOU KNOW? As you walk up the steps to the building which houses the U.S Supreme Court you can see near the top of the building a row of the world's law givers and each one is facing one in the middle who is facing forward with a full frontal view ... It is Moses and he is holding the Ten Commandments!
DID YOU KNOW? As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge oak doors have the Ten Commandments engraved on each lower portion of each door.
DID YOU KNOW? As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see the wall, Right above where the Supreme Court judges sit, a display of the Ten Commandments!
DID YOU KNOW? There are Bible verses etched in stone all over the Federal Buildings and Monuments in Washington , D.C.
DID YOU KNOW? James Madison, the fourth president, known as "The Father of Our Constitution" made the following statement: "We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."
DID YOU KNOW? Patrick Henry, that patriot and Founding Father of our country said: "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ".
DID YOU KNOW? Every session of Congress begins with a prayer by a paid preacher, whose salary has been paid by the taxpayer since 1777.
DID YOU KNOW? Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the Constitution were members of the established orthodox churches in the colonies.
DID YOU KNOW? Thomas Jefferson worried that the Courts would overstep their authority and instead of interpreting the law would begin making law . An oligarchy . The rule of few over many.
DID YOU KNOW? The very first Supreme Court Justice, John Jay, said: "Americans should select and prefer Christians as their rulers." How, then, have we gotten to the point that everything we have done for 230 years in this country is now suddenly wrong and unconstitutional?
Lets put it around the world and let the world see and remember what this great country was built on.

I was asked to send this on if I agreed or delete if I didn't. Now it is your turn...
It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God Therefore, it is very hard to understand why there is such a mess about having the Ten Commandments on display or "In God We Trust" on our money and having God in the Pledge of Allegiance. If you agree, pass this on.
I have passed this on, risking the wrath of my landlord, who saith, quote, "One more goat and you're outta here!" since I have extracted my Biblical revenge upon those who have gotten my goat by getting their goats in return, and this apartment complex is overrun with goats.
The fuss we currently see was begun in the Declaration of Independence, wherein:
"...We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness..."
Already, we are head for trouble, as this states "created" not evolved, and "by their Creator" not by random chance of evolution. Perhaps it would be wise of us to withhold certain unalienable rights from those who believe they have evolved and recognize no Creator?
In the 1920's there was a pseudo-science or notion of eugenics, wherein by selective breeding, the human race could be improved. Instead, we allowed stupid people to continue to breed. Of course, at least two major factors closed the door on eugenics. First, if all men are created equal, then who is to decide who may or may not procreate? Secondly, and probably even more significant, is the fact that any number of dictators, and possibly elected and appointed officials as well, turned this concept into genocide, rather than patiently waiting for the inferior individuals of the species to merely die off without breeding. If objections arose to eugenics, most certainly stronger objections arose to genocide.
Somewhere along the line, and I fail to pinpoint or even approximate when and who, the Ten Commandments given Moses in the Old Law (Exodus 20:1-17), and condensed by Christ in the New Law (Matthew 22:37-40) to be based on two, were further condensed to only one, "Thou shalt offend no one, especially the non-believers, who lacks the intelligence to explain to their offspring that not everyone believes the same thing, thereby preserving their offspring from irreparable damage." (1 Me 1:1).
And so, we have become, subject to anyone's misinterpretation at will, a multi-oligarchy, in which each and every stupid person must not be offended, and our elected representatives, occupying said chamber but inured to their surroundings, shall assume a mandate to write as many nearly totally-redundant laws as possible to ensure no stupid person is offended, even if each must be named singularly in a particular law.
For example, during the VietNam War, limits were imposed upon freedom of assembly, whereby a gathering in excess of some small number of people was required to obtain a parade permit! Shortly after the terrorist attacks of 9-11-2001, a nearly identical law was passed, substituting the term "terrorist" for "war protester."
Our only hope lies in Christ Jesus and unceasing prayer; we are otherwise too badly outnumbered to win this by our own power.
God bless and keep you and yours,
