Unbelievers say: You cannot use the Bible to prove that God is real….that is circular reasoning.

This is fairly silly double standard. Consider this same logic used to deny Abraham Lincoln existed:

I say: You cannot use the Gettysburg Address to prove that Lincoln ever existed….that is circular reasoning.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Gettysburg Address

Tons upon tons of families on spring break are EVERYWHERE in DC this week. (I wanted to say scores instead of tons really badly, having seen the Gettysburg Address Tuesday, but resisted).

When it comes to words, less is more.

From the book “Take The Stairs” by Rory Vaden of Colorado.

“There are 66 words in the Lord’s Prayer – most people know it. There are 179 words in the Ten Commandments – many people can recite them. There are 282 words in the Gettysburg address – a lot of Americans talk about it. And then there are 26,911 words…in the U.S. government’s regulation on the sale of cabbage – and nobody cares.”

@ArnoLdeGuzman The Gettysburg Address. Tama ba spelling?

Reyes

Yesterday, Democrats voted against a bill I had authored that would require schools to teach our California State Constitution and other founding documents.

The Assembly Education Committee voted 2-4 to kill AB 424. My two Republican colleagues supported the bill. Every Democrat present voted against it.

This is what we are up against in Sacramento—a political party so out of touch that they’re unwilling to support teaching the Constitution in schools.

It gets worse: last year, the Assembly and Senate passed SB 48, which requires that schools teach the historical contributions of LGBT individuals. Yet, they couldn’t support teaching our Constitution.

Democrats will continue voting against mainstream Californians unless the public holds them accountable. Please, join me in educating your friends and family about how out-of-touch the ruling party in Sacramento is.

Forward this e-mail to your friends, and share this post on Facebook.

With your help, we can begin to change Sacramento.

@donaldn33 you need a narrative or some background music. Like quote the Gettysburg address or sing some Jay-Z. I should be your producer

Please remember that people on both sides of the aisle want to put a STOP to COMMON CORE. The opposite is also very true Legislators are not following Republican/Democrat affiliations on this issue. Common Core is an American issue and it makes COMMON SENSE to get it out of Wisconsin!

Gettysburg Address

Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate-we can not consecrate-we can not hallow-this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion-that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain-that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom-and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
- ABRAHAM LINCOLN, 19 NOVEMBER 1863

Maybe it is about time that every American takes a close look at their government. The president takes an oath of office to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States”.”The phrase “so help me God” has been added to every oath since at least the mid-1800’s. President Obama has taken that oath a total of four times. Every congressman Takes an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States”, and the phrase “so help me God” is part of the official oath as provided by the Constitution. If these oaths mean anything to these individuals, why are they so intent on passing laws that are contrary to our Constitution, or in a manner not provided by the Constitution.
In his Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln said “that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth”. But our government is not listening to the people most of the time. Instead, they are passing legislation according to whichever lobbyist, or political action committee, pays them the most. Our president even tried to sway the opinions of every congressman by giving them all a healthy pay increase in December 2012.
The “sequester” is a Democrat designed scare tactic meant to bring about cuts to nearly every branch of government so that they could increase taxes to supposedly counteract the cuts. It resulted it cuts to nearly every branch of government except congressional salaries.
They are also trying to pass laws using emotions instead of factual, sound reasoning. They have been unable or unwilling to take guns away from criminals, so that instead, they can take guns away from law-abiding citizens. Another problem for politicians is gay rights/same-sex marriage. Those areas are not even political issues. They are personal/moral/religious issues that have been raised in awareness by politicians looking to those groups for more support in the voting booths. When we are controlled by the morals of our congressmen, we will be in even more trouble, because it appears that some congressmen have no morals. Even the main-stream media uses emotion to promote same-sex marriage and anti-gun issues. We hear very little in the daily newscasts that can be described as pro-gun or anti-gay rights. They no longer want to report “just the facts".
Now let's see how many Patriots read this. "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their Country".
