“It is contended by many that ours is a Christian government, founded upon the Bible, and that all who look upon the book as false or foolish are destroying the foundation of our country. The truth is, our government is not founded upon the rights of gods, but upon the rights of men. Our Constitution was framed, not to declare and uphold the deity of Christ, but the sacredness of humanity. Ours is the first government made by the people and for the people. It is the only nation with which the gods have had nothing to do.” PeopleMenFirstsLooksMadeBookCountryGovernmentChristianHumanityNationsChristRightsAtheismTruth IsConstitutionFoundationFoolishOur CountryLook UpDestroyingDeitiesFramedSacredness Author:Robert Green Ingersoll

“The conclusions seem inescapable that in certain circles a tendency has arisen to fear people who fear government. Government, as the Father of Our Country put it so well, is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. People who understand history, especially the history of government, do well to fear it. For a people to express openly their fear of those of us who are afraid of tyranny is alarming. Fear of the state is in no sense subversive. It is, to the contrary, the healthiest political philosophy for a free people.” PeopleWellsCountryStatesPhilosophySeemsGovernmentPoliticalCertainFatherDangerousMastersGunContraryCirclesTyrannyTendenciesConclusionOur CountryServantFearfulPolitical PhilosophySubversive Author:Jeff Cooper
