“America needs a Christian revival”
Your response: “America need limited government revival and a return to self reliance.”
I leave it to the Founding Fathers to answer you, RFE Engineer.
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
John Adams
“Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked: Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice ? And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.
“It is substantially true that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government. The rule, indeed, extends with more or less force to every species of free government. Who that is a sincere friend to it can look with indifference upon attempts to shake the foundation of the fabric?”
George Washington’s Farewell Address
Thank you for posting that ... it is clear to me at least that Glenn Beck is trying with all his heart to renew ‘a moral people’ to revive the Republic. And I’m not talking Mormons, I’m talking Beck wants ALL God fearing people in America to renew their relationship with The Almighty and be guided toward moral choices instead of herded by bloodsucking politicians into going along with evil in our midst.
You start with limited government. The rest is up to freedom loving citizens to exercise their God-given freedoms.
Big-government Christianity will fail, as it should.
