Steps of the White House
Andy Rooney
DID YOU KNOW? As you walk up the steps to the building which houses the U.S.
Supreme Court you can see near the top of the building a row of the world's
law givers and each one is facing one in the middle who is facing forward
with a full frontal view . it is Moses and he is holding the Ten
Commandments!
DID YOU KNOW?
As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge oak doors have the
Ten Commandments engraved on each lower portion of each door.
DID YOU KNOW?
As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see the wall, right above where the
Supreme Court judges sit, a display of the Ten Commandments!
DID YOU KNOW?
There are Bible verses etched in stone all over the Federal Buildings and
Monuments in Washington, D.C.
DID YOU KNOW?
James Madison, the fourth president, known as "The Father of Our
Constitution" made the following statement:
" We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the
capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all
of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves
according to the Ten Commandments of God."
DID YOU KNOW?
Patrick Henry, that patriot and Founding Father of our country said:
"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation
was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on religions but on
the Gospel of Jesus Christ".
DID YOU KNOW?
Every session of Congress begins with a prayer by a paid preacher, whose
salary has been paid by the taxpayer since 1777.
DID YOU KNOW?
Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the Constitution were members of the
established orthodox churches in the colonies.
DID YOU KNOW?
Thomas Jefferson worried that the Courts would overstep their authority and
instead of interpreting the law would begin making law . an oligarchy
the rule of few over many.
DID YOU KNOW?
The very first Supreme Court Justice, John Jay, said:
"Americans should select and prefer Christians as their rulers."
How, then, have we gotten to the point that everything we have done for 220
years in this country is now suddenly wrong and unconstitutional?
Lets put it around the world and let the world see and remember what this
great country was built on.
Chamber, US House of Representatives
I was asked to send this on if I agreed or delete if I didn't. Now it is
your turn...
It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore, it is very hard
to understand why there is such a mess about having the Ten Commandments on
display or "In God We Trust" on our money and having God in the Pledge of
Allegiance.
If you agree, pass this on
