America The Great Experiment

Our Founding Fathers termed America as the "Great Experiment". This is because it was the first time in history that citizens of a nation would be completely free. They would be free to worship the way they wanted, free from taxation without representation and free to use their God given talents to prosper without excessive Government control. But this freedom didn't come without paying a very high price. A ragtag army of farmers, store keepers, teachers and ordinary citizens took up arms to fight against the most powerful nation on earth... for the cause of freedom. They fought from 1776 until 1782 under incredible hardship for the right to be called free men. The American people need to stand up and join the fight that our ancestors started 234 years ago. The Government that was established to serve the people is now completely out of control and this must stop. Richard and I only have two voices but we pray that this Blog will help influence (in some small way) our readers to get involved and take Washington back from politicians and give it back to the people. God was with our Founding Fathers and he is still with us today but we must follow the road map he gave us; his word.
He sums it up in 2nd Chronicles 7:14 -

"If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways than will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land".

God Bless America

More thought from our Founding Fathers

Government is instituted for the common good; for the protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness of the people; and not for profit, honor, or private interest of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, the people alone have an incontestable, unalienable, and indefeasible right to institute government; and to reform, alter, or totally change the same, when their protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness require it. John Adams, Thoughts on Government, 1776.

John Adams, Thoughts on Government, 1776

It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.

Thomas Jefferson

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

Thomas Jefferson
