Benjamin Franklin:

Educate your children to self-control, to the habit of holding passion and prejudice and evil tendencies subject to an upright and reasoning will, and you have done much to abolish misery from their future and crimes from society.

That’s why the crime rate is so high and so many kids are in trouble now days. Ben had it right but will we listen to him?

It makes me sad how people have tried to smear Ben Franklin. He was one of my favorites to learn about in history. Such a wise man.

I did a report on him in fifth grade and i remember my teacher questioning my choice in who to do the report on. Benjamin franklin was a smart man and he saw through many things that others did not. My father taught me to have a great respect for Franklin…even IF some parts about him are undesirable.

Well, good ol’ Ben. The subject of historical rumor. Like Thomas Jefferson. Anyway, if the Psalms of David can have merit, so can the writings of Ben Franklyn. (At least he didn’t have anyone killed so he could have sex with the widow.)

Our Mission Statement

Encourage people to learn about our Constitution and the freedoms it preserves and to have faith in the Judaeo-Christian principles upon which it is based so that when those freedoms are threatened action may be taken to protect them.

In support of our mission statement, here is our Three-Fold Purpose of the blog, In God We Trust.

1. Defining and spreading an understanding of our Constitutional freedoms for the purpose of sustaining those freedoms.

2. Identifying threats to the unity of the conservative base, and helping people to resist the pressure to compromise values as an answer to political tensions.

3. Spreading the message that the key for healing the nation is showing respect, tolerance and kindness as we accept the political differences of others.

Our Blog Theme Song:
