“Without God, there is no virtue, because there's no prompting of the conscience. Without God, we're mired in the material, that flat world that tells us only what the senses perceive. Without God, there is a coarsening of the society. And without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure. If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under. If I could just make a personal statement of my own -- in these 3 1/2 years I have understood and known better than ever before the words of Lincoln, when he said that he would be the greatest fool on this footstool called Earth if he ever thought that for one moment he could perform the duties of that office without help from One who is stronger than all.”
Ronald Reagan, University of South Carolina, Columbia, September 20, 1983

So awesome. Reagan was such an inspiration.
and Reagans appointed despot Sim Lake has ordered a Bible
displayed outside a Courthouse in Harris County removed as
if such display by private group violates ,somehow, the
establishment clause of the first Amendment--Sadly too many
Americans don't know--and don't care what is being done under the guise of law in America.
That part is not unconstitutional. I've not seen evidence of the Federal Government attempting to establish a religion for the nation. In fact, what I have seen has been virtually anti-religion, perhaps even honed a bit toward anti-Christianity.
And yet, we still tolerate Judges like this. Had he equipped himself for the task his positions demands he would bring us knowledge of America’s history and the Constitution’s vision for the nation. He instead brings us the tyranny of his good intentions, the tyranny of the unreasonable man.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man. George Bernard Shaw
Am sending the Harris County Court two pages of notes from
Wm.J.Federer's Americas'God and Country on government
endorsement of religion that cannot be reconciled to Sim Lakes invalid order. Included copy of the 1983 Congressional Record authorizing Reagan to proclaim 1983 Year of the Bible, and copy of the 1892 Supreme Court
Church of the Holy Trinity v. the United States,and list of
priori that established "this is a Christian nation"
but don't hold my breath it will fix a broken system.
