“Do Not Let Anyone To Be A True American If They Ever Attempt To Remove Religion From Politics.”—George Washington
Too many times we have activist judges and leaders alike who add and subtract from the Constitution as if it were a math problem. How much clearer can the following words be? “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibit the free exercise thereof.” Yet from that sentence our lawmakers have deduced that God must be ushered out of society. The Constitution has been manipulated to endorse whatever the courts feel is necessary.
Instead of conforming to the probable meaning of the Constitution, our society continually abuses the freedoms the document was meant to protect. It has already been established that despite the fact that the first Amendment is supposed to enable our freedom to worship, our laws have prohibited it. Yet in the meantime all other deviant behaviors—such as burning American flags, torching draft cards, gratuitous use of profanity in public, glorification of violence and death abortion, euthanasia—are all acceptable under the scope of freedoms guaranteed by the first Amendment. Allowing this to continue is only going to further cripple the moral foundation of our nation; freedom without “reasonable and responsible limits destroys individual lives and ultimately destroys the fabric of a civilized society.” Geisler and Turek.
