The 'Republic' was studied before it was chosen to be integrated into the US Constitution framework. Fascinated with the story that gave birth to the concept of a 'Republic,' the founding fathers observed the story of Oliver Cromwell. If you don't know who that is, you're a part of the problem. A farmer who toppled a crown putting forth a simple concept that the people, belong to God… and not unto a king. The king disagreed, and through faith, Oliver proved him wrong.
Being a Republic requires a morally correct compass of governance. Our Founding Fathers understood this. We the People, must give consent to be governed by God. Consent cannot be given unto a government that refuses to recognize God. Anon didn't say that everybody had to believe in God, but the respect must be afforded to those who recognize the connection of all things significant to true freedom.
Anon has spent the last 20 or so years trying to help elected officials understand that many of the mandates being put forth post-911 were against belief systems protected by the 1st amendment.
If anon can sum it up simply… without God, every mighty nation shall fall. Knowledge is power. God bless!! o7
