"I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them. It is not to inaugurate new programs, but to cancel old ones that do violence to the Constitution, or that have failed in their purpose, or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden. I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is 'needed' before I have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible. And if I should later be attacked for neglecting my constituents' 'interests', I shall reply that I was informed that their main interest is liberty and that in that cause I am doing the very best I can." -Barry Goldwater |

| Contrary to the rhetoric spewed from the liberal left in this country, the United States of America was founded upon Christian principles. All one has to do is read the words of the founding fathers to understand this. The idea of a separation of church (religion) and state (government) has been interpreted from the 1st amendment to mean that all reference to God should be removed from any government building, including schools, in speech, text and art. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;" (1st Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America) It is clear that if one does their research that this was never the intent of the founders, but rather to prevent the establishment of a state religion as had been the case in England. It was this state religion which prompted the Pilgrims and other groups to settle in the new world in their quest for religious freedom. |

| “The United States in Congress assembled highly approve the pious and laudable undertaking of Mr. Aitken, as subservient to the interest of religion, as well as an instance of the progress of arts in this country, and being satisfied from the above report of his care and accuracy in the execution of the work, they recommend this edition of the Bible to the inhabitants of the United States, and hereby authorize him to publish this recommendation in the manner he shall think proper.” –Congressional Resolution, September 10, 1782 |

| I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. |
| "How fitting that on September 13, 1988, a veteran congressman from Mississippi became the first to lead the House of Representatives in the Pledge of Allegiance as it became a permanent part of daily operations. Gillespie V. Montgomery, affectionately known as Sonny, has lived the Pledge of Allegiance during three decades of service to his country and his state. Adlai Stevenson once observed that "Patriotism is not a short and frenzied outburst of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime." Those words might have been uttered to describe Sonny Montgomery." Salute to a Patriot: A Tribute to Sonny Montgomery http://msuinfo.ur.msstate.edu/alumni/sonny/salute/salute1.htm |

| "[The purpose of a written constitution is] to bind up the several branches of government by certain laws, which, when they transgress, their acts shall become nullities; to render unnecessary an appeal to the people, or in other words a rebellion, on every infraction of their rights, on the peril that their acquiescence shall be construed into an intention to surrender those rights." -- Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia [1782] |
