" W hy is it that, next to the birth-day of the Saviour of the World, your most joyous and most venerated festival returns on this day [4th of July]? . . . Is it not that, in the chain of human events, the birth-day of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birth-day of the Saviour? That it forms a leading event in the progress of the gospel dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer's mission upon earth? That it laid the corner stone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity?" When people say we are not a Christian based nation they are mistaken!!Our founding is based on principles of the Holy Bible.Please checkout a resource on this matter, www.trumpetofheritage.org .  As we approach one our most signifigant holidays let's start exercising our liberties and rights that were given by an Almighty,our Creator!!

Erich's Full MySpace Blog: Sunday, January 28, 2007 Imagine your life like this. You wake up in the morning to the sound of gunfire....you can't run outside to see what's going on because you'd get shot..you can't call a friend to see what's going on because your family is too poor to have a phone...scared to drive down the road because of the IED's that were put out in your sleep that you have no idea where they're at...and if you're a Sunni...and the Shittes put the bomb out then you could be the next victim....scared to be around a bus because it could very easily blow up and kill everyone around it....scared to go anywhere because of all the kidnappings going on around you....that's just some of the problems the Iraqi people face...not everyone over here is bad...and for everyone that says that its none of our business to do it...your probably the type of person that would sit in your apartment and hear a husband beating ...

The candidate must see the importance of our country's security.He or she must see 4thly, that  secure borders are ...

No one said a word!I'm not easily offended but this is unecessary behavior.How do I report this?
