power to the people vs give peace a chance

I love Mike Gravel.

10-The Peace Treaty that was signed in 1783 by David Hartley, Ben Franklin, John Adams, & John Jay was entitled; In the name of the most holy and undivided Trinity. John Witherspoon signer of the declaration was a prominent evangelist who produced 2 bible editions and stated; I entreat you in the most earnest manner to believe in Jesus Christ for there is no salvation in any other. This concludes American history lesson # 1 you dumb ass!

9-The first Public school law passed in 1647 was entitled The old deluder Satan act It was designed to stop Satan from keeping men from the knowledge of the scriptures by translating them in an unknown tongue. As part of that directive the bible was part of public education for 320 years. That bible had a congressional endorsement that stated resolve the United States and Congress assembled recommend this edition of the bible to the inhabitants of the United States.>

8-After the battle of Yorktown in 1781 the US Congress published the 1st English bible. 20,000 copies were printed in 1782 and called The Bible of the American Revolution. In the records of Congress it states that the reason this bible was printed is because this bible is a neat addition of the holy scriptures for the use of our schools.>

7-After that congressional meeting John Adams wrote to Abigail Adams encouraging her to read the 35th Psalm which they based their congressional prayer meeting on, asking her to read it to her father Rev. William Smith who was the minister of their church. Then John Adams called for a national day of fasting & prayer. John Adams also reported to Abigail after victory against the British; it appears to me the eternal Son of God is operating powerfully against the British nation.>

6-Article 7 of the US Constitution holds up the Declaration of Independence, both documents are integrated. The Declaration of Independence is a list of clauses & rights historians have documented had been preached from the American pulpit prier to 1763. The Declaration is actually a list of Christian sermons. The 1st session of Congress Sept 6, 1774 was opened with a 3 hour prayer session/bible study.>

5-Given a plethora of Christian faith proclamations made by the founding fathers, there is no rational argument that would lead any reasonable person to believe that The Treaty of Tripoli means what Atheists want it to mean. 29 out of the 56 founding fathers had seminary degrees. Andrew Jackson said the Bible is the rock on which our republic rests. In 1816 John Adams said the people responsible for American independence include a long list of Christian Pastors.>

4-It was designed to communicate a distinct difference between the structuring of Christian American and Christian Europe, essentially liberty as opposed to tyranny, the reason for American Independence. Left in context the treaty simply proclaims that unlike her sister nations, Americas founding was based on the Christian virtues of peace & tolerance desiring to not make war with other nations purely based on religious differences.>

3-The 1797 Treaty of Tripoli article XI: The intention of this treaty which was ratified under John Adams in no way proclaims that America is not a Christian nation. In fact it does just the opposite by denoting the difference between American Christian purity and European Christian corruption. It marked the difference between Christian Europe & Christian America to the Muslim nations in that Christian America would not declare Holy war against Muslim nations as Christian Europe would.>

2-It is religion and morality alone which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free constitution is pure virtue. - John Adams 1776. The 1797 Treaty of Tripoli article XI. Oh what a surprise! Youve mastered the art of spin by taking quotes out of context to support your own erroneous claims. You are either intentionally dishonest or you have no REAL knowledge of American history.>
