The Declaration of Independence has four religious references: “Nature’s God;” “Creator;” “Supreme Judge of the world;” and “Divine Providence.” It claims, as a self-evident truth, that all mankind is endowed with “Liberty” as a permanent God-given right. The Constitution also has religious references: “...secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity” — to enforce that God-given right.
Enemy infiltrators into government positions declare that: God is dead, the Declaration is nonbinding, and the Constitution is obsolete. The truth is:
a) America still believes in God
b) The courts still uphold the Declaration as a binding Organic Law
c) Constitutional constraints on federal power, if enforced, would still perpetuate Liberty
d) Federal mandates to not violate the principles of either document are still the most common prerequisite for statehood (e.g.: Alaska and Hawaii)
What happens to “Liberty” when public servants show contempt for Founding documents?
What happens to God-given rights (including those enjoyed by atheists) when government officials cease to recognize God?
Lawful remedies: a) An Article V Convention by the states to amend and strengthen the U.S. Constitution; b) state nullification of federal infractions; and c) impeachment for violating their oaths of office.
