Imperial temptations and humanitarian nightmares force the United States of the late 19th Century to confront the contradictions between its revolutionary self-image and its expanding national interests. Christopher Maillet — March 3, I thoroughly enjoyed this podcast. Many people tend to forget the stories of our past, and simply assume the United States has always been a strong imperialist nation.

Optimist Prime — March 28, Stella — April 7, Excellent coverage of a significant event in American history. While many of the names were familiar, I was not aware that many of them played a role in this event. Dan Carlin tells a great story while supporting his facts with eyewitness accounts and historical records. Ien van Houten — April 21, I listened to this some time ago. I grew up in post war Europe, and the Americans were the good guys. At first we still thought that the poor naive, well meaning Yanks had just blundered unwittingly into an old world post colonial quagmire.

My opinion changed during the meddling in the affairs of the Dominican republic. The ugly imperial side of America, especially in Latin America, became more apparent during the seventies and eighties. Even so, I retain great fondness for the best of the American ideal. The world needs that shining vision of freedom, flawed as it is. All too often one sees only one aspect portrayed as the Real America. You are a rare breath of well informed, out of the box fresh air.

I love your work. I have bought several collections, and recommend you to friends. Thank you for many hours of making kitchen chores an educational time. The last consequence of a dying Christianity is a dying people. Not one post-Christian nation has a birth rate sufficient to keep it alive The death of European Christianity means the disappearance of the European tribe, a prospect visible in the demographic statistics of every Western nation. Buchanan is a life-long Catholic, which is evident in his book.

Half a century on, the disaster is manifest. The robust and confident Church of no longer exists. Catholic colleges and universities remain Catholic in name only. Parochial schools and high schools are closing as rapidly as they opened in the s. The numbers of nuns, priests and seminarians have fallen dramatically.

Mass attendance is a third of what it was. From the former Speaker of the House to the Vice President, Catholic politicians openly support abortion on demand. How can Notre Dame credibly teach that all innocent life is sacred, and then honor a [U. As an Evangelical, I recognize some of the same disturbing contradictions within conservative Protestant churches, even those that have historically been committed to Scripture.

Sin, repentance, atonement, holiness, and reconciliation with God are discredited or ignored. The Savior died to provide a remedy for the sin that dwells within. Our Founding Fathers clearly understood the relationship between Christian Truth and the stability of our then new nation.

Here are just a few quotes that express that essential connection. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. Thomas Jefferson, our third president and one of the principal framers of the Constitution — a man who, revisionists tell us, wanted a "wall of separation" to protect the government from people of faith — wrote the words that now appear on his memorial in Washington, D.

Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God? No book in the world deserves to be so unceasingly studied, and so profoundly meditated upon as the Bible. Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the Foundation of the Redeemer's mission upon earth? That it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity?

Sir, I am in the hands of a merciful God. I have full confidence in his goodness and mercy The Bible is true I have tried to conform to its spirit as near as possible. Upon that sacred volume, I rest my hope for eternal salvation, through the merits and blood of our blessed Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown.

But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us.

It behooves us, then, to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness. There are dozens of other quotes on record that stand as expressions of faith offered by our chief executives through nearly years of American history.

I can't read their writings without marveling at the spiritual heritage that has been handed down to us through the ages. But these statements of faith also evoke a sadness over what is happening to our great country today. We are witnessing an unprecedented campaign to secularize our society and "de-moralize" our institutions from the top down. The effort, now in its fifth decade, has been enormously successful.

Description

Most forms of prayer have been declared unconstitutional in the nation's schools. The Ten Commandments have been prohibited on school bulletin boards. Secular universities are blatantly hostile to Christian precepts, and the media screams "Foul! In this wonderful Land of the Free, we have gagged and bound all of our public officials, our teachers, our elected representatives, and our judges.

Since we have effectively censored their expressions of faith in public life, the predictable is happening: And we wonder why so many of them can kill, steal, take drugs, and engage in promiscuous sex with no pangs of conscience. We have taught them that right and wrong are arbitrary — subjective — changing. They learned their lessons well. A recent poll of the Wall Street protesters, conducted by Doug Shoen, indicates that 98 percent of these revolutionaries support civil disobedience to achieve their goals, and 31 percent would support violence to advance their agenda.

It is Marxist in tone and implementation. At one of the recent presidential debates, all the candidates focused on the economic peril that has gripped our country. America faces a debt of 14 trillion dollars, which can never be repaid. It is significant to note, however, that only six references to the family were made during the event.

Former Senator Rick Santorum was responsible for four of them. The biggest problem with poverty in America…is the breakdown of the American family.

You want to look at the poverty rate among families that have two in them [a husband and a wife. It is the foundation for our country. We need to have a policy that supports families, that encourages marriage…that has fathers take responsibility for their children. And that needs to be included in this economic discussion. That statement is precisely on target. It is the life-blood of any democracy. I have been trying to say that for 40 years, and yet this God-given institution is coming apart at the seams.

It is breathtaking to see how hostile our government has become to traditional marriage, and how both Democrats and Republicans are increasingly antagonistic to parental rights, Christian training, and the financial underpinnings of family life. The hope of the future is prayer and a spiritual renewal that will sweep the nation. It has happened before, and with concerted prayer, could occur again. We can rediscover the eternal principles that made us the most blessed people in the history of the world.

But if we continue down the road we are now traveling, I fear for us all. Family Talk will fight for the things we believe if given a chance. I know there are millions of people out there who hold to biblical truths and want to be represented in the public square. We will not compromise those fundamentals one inch. I hope you will help us hold the line on behalf of families and righteousness everywhere. Candidly, this ministry continues to struggle financially, and our very survival will depend on the generosity of our constituents in the next two months.

That will tell the tale, not only for this organization but for many other non-profit entities that are hanging by a thread. We will follow the leading of the Lord in these closing days of Please pray with us about the future of this ministry. I would love to have you come visit us in Colorado Springs sometime, and see for yourself what the Lord has done so quickly. We are heard on radio stations. As we celebrate a season of Thanksgiving, please know that I am very grateful for each of you.
