TEN SENTENCES
by Ken Freeman
The cornerstone of our nation is not our economy or our military strength. No, our nation rests upon ten short lines carved in stone and the document those words inspired, the Constitution of the United States of America.
Those ten sentences, those Ten Commandants, form the basis of our Judeo-Christian beliefs -beliefs that have given more freedom and more prosperity to more peoples of the world than any other single body of thought in human history.
But over the years, as a nation, our understanding of these simple truths has faded and we have failed to keep their spirit bright. As that consciousness has dimmed, as the importance of individual freedom has diminished, to fill the void the U.S. Congress has written 10,000 laws unsuccessfully trying to implement what these ten sentences set forth; attempting to legally enforce what personal responsibility and belief in the Ten Commandants had engendered willingly from a just and grateful people.
Many in America today deny that our rights as free men, those inalienable rights described by our Founding Fathers, descend from God directly to man as his birthright. Our Founders understood, as we must, that these rights are unending and that they belong to the individual alone; that they are a direct covenant between man and his maker.
Ignorant of our history and of our special blessings, many now deny this higher authority and say that there is no higher rule than that of government and the rule of law. This is a trap! For it logically follows that if government alone gives these rights and freedoms, then government alone can take them away. Without this belief in God’s over riding protection in our inalienable rights, the tyranny of uncontrolled and unaccountable governance by man will consume our people and our nation.
Why is this chunk of rock so despised by so many in the world today? I believe it is because this monument and the words inscribed upon it are a reminder to those who believe in governmental tyranny that there is a God but they are not it. On this monument these guarantees and the authority on which they are based are indeed written in stone for all to see; and this greatly offends the haters of American liberty.
In the American Revolution, this country was founded and sustained by a tiny minority of freedom loving individuals-individuals with great vision and a strongly held belief that the precepts of the Ten Commandants would form the rock on which the greatest nation in the history of the world would stand. Their vision and their sacrifices were justified and spectacularly successful. Today, no power on earth can destroy the United States of America, no power that is except-ourselves.
Thomas Payne said, "Those who expect the blessings of freedom must undergo the fatigue of supporting it." We the veterans gathered here today have fought for our nation’s lifeblood before. We must do so again. Now, more than ever, we must stand up and be counted. A few good men, men like Roy Moore, can focus and lead our nation back to the rock on which our country can endure. We must stand upon that rock and read and believe in the words that are carved upon it. They are our only true hope for the future. We must fight for these words and the right to display them.
May God bless our efforts to regain our freedoms, may God bless America.
