This image has been picking up steam lately. Let's see what some of our founding fathers have to say about this:
Enjoy and have fun being educated.

Remember these are not my words, these are from the men that were there from the inception of our nation as well as other founding documents.I'll even post something from De Tocqueville I could go on and on and on. You decide for yourself if this image has really any merit.

The Way Forward Is Back

"Providence has been given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation, to select and prefer Christians for their rulers."
- First Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Jay

He who made all men hath made the truths necessary to human happiness obvious to all . . . Our Forefathers opened the Bible to all.
- Samuel Adams Signer of the Declaration of Independence

We recognize no sovereign but God and no king but Jesus!
- John Hancock and John Adams

"The general Principles, on which the Fathers Atchieved Independence, were the only Principles in which, that beautiful Assembly of young Gentlemen could Unite, and these Principles only could be intended by them in their Address, or by me in my Answer. And what were these general Principles? I answer, the general Principles of Christianity, in which all those Sects were United: And the general Principles of English and American Liberty, in which all those young Men United, and which had United all Parties in America, in Majorities Sufficient to assert and maintain her Independence.

Now I will avow, that I then believed, and now believe, that those general Principles of Christianity, are as eternal and immutable, as the Existence and Attributes of God"
- John Adams to Thomas Jefferson, June 28, 1813

If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper; but if we and our posterity neglect its instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity. - Daniel Webster

"Resistance to tyranny becomes the Christian and social duty of each individual. . . . Continue steadfast, and with a proper sense of your dependence on God, nobly defend those rights which heaven gave, no man ought to take from us."
- Resolution from the Massachusetts Provincial Congress - 1774

"The Americans combine the notions of Christianity and of liberty so intimately in their minds, that it is impossible to make them conceive the one without the other." - Alexis De Tocqueville, 1835

By The Way, I am not here to fight.
Just posting truth and you decide.
