The Infamous John Adams Quote
Posted by Terrie Soberg under: Presidential Election 2008 .
Mitt Romney has ticked off the liberals, no surprise. Even the atheists are offended that he didn’t mention them. I am 
pleased, however, that Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and Bill O’Reilly all had positive things to say about the speech. I personally have never heard or heard about a stronger, more impactful speech given by a presidential candidate.
Bloggers are not happy, and the mainstream media is not happy. This morning Rush Limbaugh played a montage of 12 different media personalities all using variations of the same theme: “He only used the word “Mormon” once.” Romney had no intention of explaining the indepth teachings of his religion. He did not try to address any religion specifically. His purpose for the speech was to show how our Constitution was founded upon Judaeo-Christian principles. No matter how much liberals or the ACLU try to change this fact, it will always remain true. Romney quoted one of our founding fathers, John Adams:
We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our constitution was made for a moral and religious people. Freedom requires religion just as religion requires freedom. Freedom opens the windows of the soul so that man can discover his most profound beliefs and commune with God. Freedom and religion endure together, or perish alone.
Our constitution will not work if the people are not moral and religious! We are seeing the truth of this to a greater and greater extent each day. The news is full of stories recounting the wickedness of people in this nation. Surely the Lord must be extremely grieved. How long before we go too far? Once our cup is full, the world will be ripe for destruction. It’s difficult not to feel totally helpless, yet we must go forward and do what we can to elect leaders who will uphold the Constitution and live by the principles upon which it was founded.
Rush Limbaugh spoke about Romney’s speech on his radio show today:
The reason I liked it, as I said yesterday, it did not cherry-pick; it didn’t try to appeal to every little group out there and their pet cause. It was filled with grand ideas. It was a teaching moment about the nature of the country, its greatness, how to continue it, from where we derive our freedom, the kind of thing that the American people are not told often enough. It was uplifting. It was optimistic, and it was inspiring. And, for that reason, whether it gets him elected or not, it was a great speech for people to hear, and to have it be talked about.
Americans seem to be losing sight of why America is the greatest country in the world. The time to act is now, before our great country is no more.
