The Right to Exceptionalism: Every Man's Place in Politics Robert Miskimen Sr

Publisher Marketing: America. The land of the free. The home of the brave. And a country in peril. Our country is at a crossroads. Its cultural foundation is shifting, the demographics are changing, and the governmental underpinnings are beginning to abrade between the pressures of pluralism and the fears instilled by political correctness. Where have we gone wrong-and more importantly, how do we return to the fundamentals upon which this great republic stands? One nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all? The answer lies in the two words that for decades were a part of this brief quotation from the beloved pledge of allegiance but once again find themselves omitted under misguided perception of the roles of church and state: under God. The Founding Fathers were, to a man, Christians. And the documents they created and government they founded was rooted in their religious beliefs. But somehow, over the course of over two hundred years, the core values of that religion, and its connection to the constructs of government have been lost. It is time to return to the words those great men first put forth in our Declaration of Independence-and the stirring words of so many that followed, including perhaps the greatest statesman in our country's history: Abraham Lincoln. The United States can no longer acquiesce to those who would see its constructs bent and beleaguered to accommodate and must rather return to the Exceptionalism upon which it is founded.
