Pass this on to someone else, if you'd like. There is NO LUCK attached.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! As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge oak doors have the Ten Commandments engraved on each lower portion of each door. [Andy Rooney] 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." [Andy Rooney] "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christions, not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ." Every session of Congress begins with a prayer by a paid preacher, whose salary has been paid by the taxpayer since 1777. [Andy Rooney] Fifty-two of the 55 Founders of the Constitution were members of the established orthodox churches in the colonies. 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. [Andy Rooney] 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 229 years in this country is now suddenly wrong and unconstitutional? Let's 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, or delete the eMail 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.
If you delete the eMail, it's okay: Nobody's luck is dependent On E-Mail. Thank God!
