Read this and weep!
George
W. Bush said (Jan. 20, 2005):
"In America's ideal of freedom, the public
interest depends on private character
- on integrity, and tolerance toward others, and the rule of conscience
in our own lives. Self-government relies, in the end, on the governing
of the self. That edifice of character is built in families, supported
by communities with standards, and sustained
in our national life bythe
truths of Sinai, the Sermon on the Mount,
the
words of the Koran, and the varied faiths
of our people. Americans move forward in every generation by reaffirming
all that is good and true that came before - ideals of justice and conduct
that are the same yesterday, today, and forever." (http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/01/20050120-1.html)
Patrick Henry said (1776): "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians;not on religions but on thegospel of Jesus Christ!" http://www.christ-college.edu/html/cble/patrick_henry.htm
