"AMERICA IS A COVENANT NATION," EXCERPT FROM PETER MARSHALL: Please use the link below for the excerpt of a message by U.S. Congressional chaplain, Peter Marshall, in which we are reminded that America is a Covenant with God Nation. This message could not be preached to Congress today--he would be hounded out of the Capitol! But what he says is exactly how we were founded, in a solemn, official, binding covenant with Almighty God, a fact Peter Marshall once reminded the whole nation of and which nobody who knows history in least part can truthfully deny. That is really what is meant by the phrase in the Pledge of Allegiance, "one nation under God." We are "under God," because our forefathers, the Pilgrims and Puritans, and the Founders, instituted this nation in faith in God, in subjection to His rule and His commandments--not founding our nation in human wisdom, human law, and human striving. We are a "God-Nation," not a replacement to the Chosen People and Nation of Israel, but, nonetheless, a nation that covenanted in a true, godly, humble fashion with God. That makes us different from every nation on earth exept Israel. That is why we have an affinity for Israel, traditionally, in America, and why America has been so blessed, singularly, by God, and also why we have freedom and liberty. That is why we need to return to a knowledge of this holy Covenant and acknowledge our responsibilities under it.

"The American Dream," Excerpt of Message by Peter Marshall

HOW FAR AMERICA HAS FALLEN FROM ITS IDEALS AND PRINCIPLES AND THE DREAM OF ITS FOUNDERS!

Postscript: November 2006--"The Titanic Connection with America's Destiny and Imminent Destruction," A View by Ronald Ginther

What sort of government do we have in America? Is it truly representative? Or is it a deceptive screen for something sinister and destructive of our cherished liberties? Television, for instance, is a terrible, culture-destroying visual drug--an addiction to which is evidenced in the behavior and lives of most Americans. Its educational value is negligible, compared with books and instruction by qualified teachers and individual learning and discovery. Yet it dominates American life, so that an America without it can no longer be imagined. Television, then, is really an addicting drug--not what it seems. It is no mere electronic means of mass, prepackaged "entertainment," "educational TV," "amusement," or "diversion." It is a mind-numbing, behavior modifying, time-consuming, degenerating drug. The smokescreen, however, is effective--we complain about the effects of television dominance in the culture, the radical decline in U.S. education, and the violence it promotes in the young, but the only real cure for most Americans would be to ban it or exercise total abstinence. That, of course, is "unthinkable." The following article will explain what has happened to the American experiment in freedom and representative government as defined by the Constitution and other founding documents.

Something that quacks like a duck and looks like a duck and flies like a duck must be a duck, you can reasonably conclude. So too with oligarchy. This nation speaks and looks and acts like an oligarchy, so my conclusion is that it is an oligarchy, not what it is purported to be: a "representative democracy." That is an ideal we have slipped far from in practice, sad to say. Our Founding Fathers would not be able to recognize this nation of America that has changed so much from the Constitution and the principles that they fought and sacrificed for.

"America Is An Oligarchy," A View of American Society and Government," by Ronald Ginther

"Modern Shamgars Standing for Truth," by Ronald Ginther

A modern "Shamgar" is Fox channel's Bill O'Reilly, a non-Christian gadfly and a boot in the rear of secular humanist propagandists such as the NBC as well as the amoral politicoes running the failed State of Vermont and other secular humanist pathogens. I don't think his term, "secular progressives," which he uses for liberals, is a good one, however, since there is really no progressiveness in secular humanism--it is all about the down-hill slide of society into the slime pits. O'Reilly's book can be found at any bookstore or Amazon.com.

Some excellent resources about America's Christian heritage, founders, and values can be found on these websites. Marilyn Hickey made an excellent video tour of historic Christian sites on the East Coast involved in the American Revolution and the Continental Congresses, and Dr. James Kennedy has a video, "One Nation Under God," for a donation of $25 to Coral Ridge Ministries.
