The Pledge Of Allegiance ends in this way: One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. It looks good and sounds inspiring. But when we look at the U.S. today, it should probably read: One nation who hates on God, divided, with liberty and justice for all but those who believe in God.

Anyone who truly has brain acknowledges that the United States was founded on the basis of bibilical principles. It’s not to say that it was a Christian nation per se. However, it was definitely a nation built on a sound belief in God with many of the Founding Fathers, like Alexander Hamilton and George Washington, being Christians.

Earlier this year I went to see Ben Stein’s Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, a documentary on how the academic community blackballs those who have a belief or even looks like they support intelligent design over evolution. It presents America in its current state: a nation that is anti-Christ, becoming more hostile against true Christians (yeah. There are those who say it but…they’re not Christians) daily.

Since I started writing regularly here on the Truth Manifesto, I did away with cable because I found myself watching the same shows over and over and that it took away from writing and pursuing the other things. My video viewing consists of Netflix, buying DVDs, and whatever programming I can find online. So when I came across the series Speechless: Silencing Christians, I had to take a gander. Now I’m hooked.

Speechless: Silencing Christians is a half hour television program that chronicles the growing hostility against Christians in the United States. Hosted by Janet Parshall, it airs on the Inspiration Network, iLifeTV, and INI. It carries thirteen full episodes online. I highly recommend that you get on over there and take a look at the show. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a Christian or not. If you believe in the Constitution, it’s a show worth watching.

I’m going to keep you updated as I watch the shows myself and I’ve added a new link on the sidebar. I want to encourage everyone to post your comments here to tell me what you think about the show itself. You can guarantee that I’ll be posting more about it.

William Livingston (1723-1790) was one of the ratifiers of the Constitution. He was 61 years old when he signed it. He served as the governor of New Jersey, an office he held for fourteen years. He was a former Brigadier General in the militia.

In 1772,Livingston took in Alexander Hamilton who was sixteen years old at the time. He made it possible for Hamilton to attend King’s College (now Columbia University).

Livingston published articles defending the Christian faith, many being published in the Independent Reflector. This is an excerpt from No. 46:

“I believe the Old and New Testaments without any foreign comments or human explanations….I believe that he who feareth God and worketh righteousness will be accepted of Him…I believe that the virulence of some…proceeds not from their affection to Christianity, which is founded on too firm a basis to be shaken by the freest inquiry, and the Divine Authority of which I sincerely believe without receiving a farthing for saying so.”

One of the Founding Fathers of this country, Alexander Hamilton, was one of the signers of the Constitution and some say one of the key people in that being carried out. He authored 51 of the 85 Federalist Papers which were a substantial influence in the Constitution being ratified. He was the first Secretary of Treasury, founded The New York Post, and also founded one of the first banks in New York. His likeness is on the ten dollar bill.
