My regular readers know that is a clue to run and hide.

In a recent back-and-forth, I used the phrase “Judea-Christian values” in reference to how this country was founded. Naturally, since I was discussing the topic with a liberal, I was wrong, plus he managed to throw a bunch of quotes at me showing that the founders were a bunch of heathens who never set foot in a church.

I’ve been trying to research in my limited spare time (being a Dad for a six year old is very time-consuming) but haven’t gotten very much accomplished. I have dug up some statistics on how much of the background material the founders of this nation used came from the Bible – it’s a little over 35% or so – I think that number might be a little low. I do know that even Blackstone (English common law) drew most of his base for the law from the Bible. Most of the divide between the “liberal” and the “conservative” sides in this nation can, I believe, be illustrated by asking both sides to indicate whether or not they attend church and read the Bible. Yes, there are some conservatives who don’t, and there are some liberals who do, but for the most part you can infer the beliefs of someone by their affiliation with a religion.

Conservatives know that there is only one truth. Liberals make up “truths” to fit the story they want to tell, much like the little kid caught taking cookies from the jar. Actually, I would believe the little kid before I believed a liberal, but there you have it.

I’m going to keep working this theory and pulling numbers together. Hopefully I’ll have something in the next few days.

Those who fail to study history are doomed to repeat it – or at least have to learn what others have already taught…

You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.

Dr. Adrian Rogers, 1931
