Drain The Swamp

The Mexican Rioters in California claim they are fighting to take back THEIR STOLEN land. They claim California is Mexico and it is Stolen Land. That's why they're carrying Mexican flags and burning the American flag.

Guess what? NO!\

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, signed on February 2, 1848, officially ended the Mexican-American War (1846–1848). Under its terms, Mexico ceded 55% of its territory to the United States, including present-day California, Nevada, Utah, most of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and parts of Wyoming, Kansas, and Oklahoma.

Mexico also relinquished all claims to Texas and recognized the Rio Grande as its southern boundary.

In exchange, the United States paid Mexico $15,000,000 and agreed to settle claims made by U.S. citizens against Mexico. The treaty was negotiated by Nicholas Trist, a U.S. diplomat, despite being recalled by President James K. Polk. The U.S. Senate ratified the treaty on March 10, 1848, and Mexico ratified it on May 19, 1848.

In 1853 the USA offered Mexico $10,000,000 to make the Gadsen Purchase.

The Gadsden Purchase was an agreement between the United States and Mexico in 1854, in which the United States paid Mexico $10,000,000 for a 29,670 square mile portion of Mexico that later became part of Arizona and New Mexico. The purchase was made to secure a good route for a railroad across the Southwest to California. It is named after James Gadsden, a U.S. businessman who helped bring about the purchase.

This treaty significantly shaped the modern U.S.-Mexico border and had lasting political consequences in both countries

Additional USA land purchases: Louisiana Purchase from the French for $15,000,000, Alaska from the Russians for $7,200,000, and the Panama Canal Zone from Panama for $10,000,000 plus $250,000 yearly. The US paid France $40,000,000 for their failed work on the canal.

All told, the US spent over $350,000,000 just bringing the Panama Canal to Market. The human toll was about 25,000 dead. Many were Americans, but most were West Indians.

 

 

EXCLUSIVEDR PHIL: I know what REALLY led to the ICE raids that triggered the LA riots... and it's not what the reckless media is telling you

By DR PHIL MCGRAW FOR DAILYMAIL.COM
Published: 17:05 EDT, 12 June 2025 | Updated: 17:27 EDT, 12 June 2025

Over the past several days, all manner of allegations have been made about legal and targeted federal immigration enforcement operations in Los Angeles — and my apparent involvement in them.

So many of these claims are untrue, provoking unnecessary distractions and more of the destructive rage that already pervades too much of our political dialogue.

So allow me to set the record straight.

Despite the so-called 'reporting,' I was not actually 'embedded' with Immigration and Customs enforcement officers making arrests during the raids in LA on Friday, June 6.

I was privy to the parameters of the operation and conducted an on-camera interview with Border Czar Tom Homan the evening before the Friday operation and on the Saturday morning afterward for broadcast on MeritTV.

I was also present for a multi-agency briefing early Friday morning at ICE's LA headquarters involving the FBI, ATF, US Marshal Service and the IRS. I garnered additional insights from Mr. Homan as we drove through the area Friday.

And contrary to what's been reported — or more accurately, not reported — in the mainstream media, federal activities on June 6 did not conduct a random round-up of illegal immigrants in Los Angeles.

Rather, their coordinated multi-agency operations were conducted pursuant to a duly authorized federal search warrant — not a rumor nor hunch.

To obtain a search warrant, the government is required to present evidence to a federal judge who will evaluate if there is probable cause to issue such a warrant and that was done regarding a particular company in LA.

The primary business targeted in Friday's operations was Ambiance Apparel, which, I'm told, is suspected of involvement in criminal activity.

And this is not the first time that this company has been in hot water. In 2020, the business and its owner, Sang Bum 'Ed' Noh were accused by federal prosecutors of undervaluing imports and skirting millions of dollars in tariffs. Ambiance Apparel pleaded guilty to eight offenses, such as conspiracy and money laundering, and Noh was sentenced to a year in prison.

Now, according to the White House border czar Tom Homan, the troubled manufacturer is being investigated again for alleged money laundering, tax evasion and customs fraud.After federal officers raided that company facility, they audited the workforce and reportedly encountered some 40 individuals believed to be in the US illegally. Following US law, they took those individuals into custody.

Following US law, they took those individuals into custody.

I was at ICE's LA headquarters when these individuals were brought in, and I can report that these people were treated with dignity and respect, offered food and water and then interviewed.

In short, Friday operations were a strategic enforcement of the law — deliberate and legally sanctioned. But the response of some so-called activists, on the other hand, have been dangerous, destructive and utterly lawless.

Rioters attacked law enforcement officers throwing chunks of broken concrete and other projectiles at moving vehicles. Others blocked agents from doing their jobs. Still more rampaged through the city looting, destroying public property and even torching cars in the streets.

For what?

I've spoken extensively to Border czar Homan and President Donald Trump about their immigration enforcement goals, which are to close the southern border with Mexico, prioritize the deportations of the most dangerous illegal immigrants in the country, finally, to find an estimated 300,000 undocumented children who have gone missing over the last several years.

Some of these children have very likely found their way to families, but an untold number of these vulnerable minors have been pushed into prostitution and forced labor, and they need to be rescued.

Additionally, after these children are located, they'll require medical, psychological and sociological services to help them recover from the inevitable trauma that they've suffered.

Who among us would object to these priorities? Yet, Los Angeles erupted into chaos.

Where were these protesters when President Barack Obama was deporting 2.8 million illegal immigrants during his administration? Perhaps, today's 'activists' are motivated more by politics than principle.

The truth, though it may be hard to hear, can't be avoided: laws are not suggestions. They aren't 'optional,' and being a good person or worker does not grant immunity from them.

If these impassioned protesters really want change, they should show up in Washington, DC, to protest Congress or write to their representatives to demand legislative reform.

While the right to peaceful protest is the cornerstone of our democracy, the ICE agents who risked their safety to perform their jobs are neither politicians nor lawmakers. They did not put pen to paper to propose these policies – they are merely operating under a sworn duty to enforce the law, not rewrite it.

But throwing rocks at law enforcement officers? Blocking vehicles? That's not speech, it is criminal conduct, plain and simple — and it certainly should not deter ICE operations.

Make no mistake the violence perpetrated against ICE and other law enforcement officers is not a negotiation for justice. It is a demand for surrender. But that cannot happen.

If you want to change immigration policy — fine. Let's have that debate. Let's talk reform.

We need more truth, not more rage. And we need a media willing to inform, not inflame.

Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to secretly retrieve US made Stinger Missiles that the State Dept had supplied to Ansar al Sharia in Libya WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission.

Sec State Hillary Clinton had brokered the Libya deal through Ambassador Stevens and a Private Arms Dealer named Marc Turi, but some of the shoulder fired Stinger Missiles ended up in Afghanistan where they were used against our own military. On July 25th, 2012, a US Chinook helicopter was downed by one of them. Not destroyed only because the idiot Taliban didn't arm the missile. The helicopter didn't explode, but it had to land and an ordnance team recovered the missile’s serial number which led back to a cache of Stinger Missiles kept in

Qatar by the CIA.

Obama and Hillary were in full panic mode, so Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to retrieve the rest of the Stinger Missiles. This was a "do-or-die" mission, which explains the Stand Down Orders given to multiple rescue teams during the siege of the US Embassy.

It was the State Dept, NOT the CIA, that supplied the Stinger Missiles to our sworn enemies because Gen. Petraeus at CIA would not approve supplying the deadly missiles due to their potential use against commercial aircraft. So then, Obama threw Gen. Petraeus under the bus when he refused to testify in support of Obama’s phony claim of a “spontaneous uprising caused by a YouTube video that insulted Muslims.”

Obama and Hillary committed TREASON!

THIS is what the investigation is all about, WHY she had a Private Server, (in order to delete the digital evidence), and WHY Obama, two weeks after the attack, told the UN that the attack was the result of the YouTube video, even though everyone KNEW it was not.

Furthermore, the Taliban knew that the administration had aided and abetted the enemy WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission, so they began pressuring (blackmailing) the Obama Administration to release five Taliban generals being held at Guantanamo.

Bowe Bergdahl was just a useful pawn used to cover the release of the Taliban generals. Everyone knew Bergdahl was a traitor but Obama used Bergdahl’s exchange for the five Taliban generals to cover that Obama was being coerced by the Taliban about the unauthorized Stinger Missile deal.

So we have a traitor as POTUS that is not only corrupt, but compromised, as well and a Sec of State that is a serial liar, who perjured herself multiple times at the Congressional Hearings on Benghazi. Perhaps this is why no military aircraft were called upon for help in Benghazi: because the administration knew that our enemies had Stinger Missiles that, if used to down those planes, would likely be traced back to the CIA cache in Qatar and then to the State Dept’s illegitimate arms deal in Libya.

Karoline Leavitt Hijacks Colbert’s Stage in Explosive On-Air Clash—Audience Gasped, Show Abruptly Cut, and TV History Made  News  5/25/2025 ??

The Ed Sullivan Theater crackled with electricity on the night that political commentator Karoline Leavitt faced off with late-night host Stephen Colbert. What was meant to be a familiar blend of sharp satire and casual political banter turned into something far more explosive—a culture clash so raw and unscripted that it rattled the very foundations of late-night television.

Colbert, known for his acerbic wit and left-leaning commentary, had likely expected a spirited debate. But what he got was a full-frontal challenge from a guest who came not to play along—but to push back. From the moment she walked on stage, Leavitt made it clear: she wasn’t there to be the punchline.

“If You Want Comedy, Steven…”

The tension erupted almost immediately. When Colbert opened with a light jab at Leavitt’s campaign strategies, the crowd chuckled. But Leavitt’s icy reply cut through the laughter: “If you want comedy, Steven, go ahead. But I came here to talk about real issues that matter to Americans.” The studio fell quiet, the audience unsure whether to laugh or brace themselves.

Colbert tried to recover with a trademark joke, but Leavitt pushed forward—criticizing the media’s bias, accusing The Late Show of silencing conservative perspectives, and calling out the liberal echo chamber she believes dominates television. It was a bold—and rare—moment of ideological defiance on a stage not known for nuance when it comes to conservative voices.

The Trump Tipping Point

Things escalated when Colbert brought up former President Donald Trump, adding his usual satirical spin. Leavitt leaned in, unwavering: “You can mock him all you want, but millions of Americans saw their lives improve under his leadership. You laughed, but they’re still struggling today.”

Silence. No punchline. Just shock.

Colbert, momentarily caught off guard, tried to steer the conversation back toward lighter ground—pop culture, current headlines—but Leavitt refused to pivot. She redirected the spotlight to inflation, crime, and border security. “People aren’t laughing at their grocery bills,” she said. “They’re not entertained by fentanyl in their schools.”

Every audience reaction—from scattered boos to stunned gasps—underscored that this wasn’t just an awkward interview. It was a battle for narrative control. And Leavitt wasn’t backing down.

A Battle of Wills on Live TV

When Colbert challenged her with, “Do you really believe everything you’re saying, or is this just political theater?” Leavitt didn’t flinch: “It’s not theater when you’re living paycheck to paycheck, Steven. But maybe you wouldn’t understand that from inside this Manhattan studio.”

Gasps turned into murmurs. Producers signaled from offstage. The conversation had veered too far off-script, too fast. Colbert’s attempts to regain control faltered. Leavitt had hijacked the segment—but not with chaos. With conviction.

The interview was cut short—abruptly. A producer entered the frame, whispered in Colbert’s ear, and the show went to commercial. Cameras were still rolling when Leavitt stood, turned to Colbert, and delivered one final mic-drop: “Maybe next time, invite someone you’re actually willing to listen to.”

A Firestorm Erupts Online

Within minutes, the hashtag #LeavittVsColbert began trending. Social media lit up with reactions: praise, outrage, analysis. Some hailed Leavitt as a fearless truth-teller; others accused her of turning a comedy platform into a campaign rally.

The Late Show issued a statement blaming the cut-off on “time constraints.” Leavitt’s team fired back, accusing the show of censoring a guest who wouldn’t play along with the script. Journalists, pundits, and media watchdogs jumped into the fray. The consensus? This wasn’t just a failed interview. It was a cultural flashpoint.
Fallout on Both Sides

The incident had ripple effects. Leavitt became a fixture on conservative outlets, portraying herself as the David who stormed Goliath’s stage. She argued that the mainstream media was too fragile to handle dissent—and the confrontation proved it.

Meanwhile, Colbert addressed the episode in a later monologue, trying to strike a lighter tone. “Sometimes,” he joked, “truth walks in wearing a smile and leaves flipping the script.” But the edge was there. The Late Show had been shaken—and not just by a tough guest. By a new media reality where control isn’t guaranteed and confrontation goes viral.

More Than a Viral Moment

What happened at the Ed Sullivan Theater wasn’t just television. It was a televised metaphor for the growing chasm between America’s political tribes.

To Leavitt’s supporters, it was a brave confrontation of elite liberalism. To Colbert’s fans, it was an invasion of a space meant for satire and civil discourse. For everyone else, it was a sign that the old media rules are breaking—and no one is sure what comes next.

Leavitt proved she could walk into the lion’s den and not just survive—but flip the narrative. Colbert was reminded that even in a studio built for laughs, the truth—however you define it—can walk in uninvited and leave the audience speechless.
Final Takeaway

In the end, it wasn’t just about who “won” the exchange. It was about what it represented: the risks of inviting a disruptor onto a platform built for applause lines, and the consequences of underestimating someone who came not to entertain, but to challenge.

For Karoline Leavitt, the moment catapulted her from rising conservative voice to national firebrand. For Stephen Colbert, it was a reminder that comedy meets its limits when ideology refuses to play nice.

One stage. Two worldviews. No script. And a country still arguing about what it all meant.

WATCH: SPEAKER JOHNSON DROPS BOMBSHELL: COURTS ON CHOPPING BLOCK! April 24,,  2025

In a bold and necessary move, House Speaker Mike Johnson has issued a stark warning to the far-left activist judges waging lawfare against President Donald J. Trump. Since his triumphant return to the White House on January 20, 2025, President Trump has faced an unprecedented wave of politically motivated legal attacks—137 cases in less than two months, with only two closed. This is not justice; this is a judicial insurrection, as Senior Counsel Josh Hammer of the Article III Project rightly called it on The War Room with Steve Bannon.

The radical left, unable to defeat Trump at the ballot box, has weaponized the courts to sabotage his presidency. During his first term, Trump faced 65 nationwide injunctions—already an outrageous number. But now, the lawfare has escalated to staggering levels, with activist judges—many appointed by Biden and Obama—issuing reckless rulings designed to obstruct the will of the American people.

Speaker Johnson, finally recognizing the existential threat posed by these rogue judges, declared that CONGRESS HAS THE AUTHORITY TO DEFUND AND EVEN DISBAND THESE LAWLESS COURTS. In a statement that sent shockwaves through the liberal media, Johnson said: (THIS IS AWESOME)
“We do have authority over the federal courts, as you know. We can eliminate an entire district court. We have power over funding for the courts and all these other things. But desperate times call for desperate measures, and Congress is going to act. So stay tuned for that.”

This is a long-overdue response to the left’s judicial tyranny. The Supreme Court, sadly, has failed to rein in these activist judges, leaving Congress as the last line of defense. The liberal media, of course, is in full panic mode, framing Johnson’s warning as an “attack on democracy.” But what about the real attack on democracy—unelected judges legislating from the bench to undermine a duly elected president?

A lot of us feel the same way....Where are all the arrests

 Why is it only a problem now?

Steve Crabtree  Yesterday at 11:35 AM 

 

Did you know? Under Obama, over 3 million people were deported—but 75–83% never saw a judge or had a chance to plead their case.

Most were removed through expedited processes at the border—no court hearing, no trial.

And this isn’t unique to Obama. Under Clinton and Bush, millions were also deported without judicial oversight.

Due process? Apparently, only if a republican or Donald Trump is in charge! 

So I ask you—where was all the outrage then? Where were the protests against Obama, Clinton, or Bush? This has been standard practice under many presidents before Trump 

No president in U.S. history has ever been required to get permission from the courts—or from anyone else—to defend the sovereignty of their own borders.

Why is it only a problem now?

vv

With all the federal judges cozying up together against President Trumps illegal immigrant deportation agenda, maybe they should ALL be made to read this !

R** S******z

Thomas Jefferson, no novice when it comes to government and the
Constitution, warned of judicial extremes.

This Founding Father stated:
“Nothing in the Constitution has given them [the federal judges] a right to decide for the Executive, more than to the Executive to decide for them. . . .The opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional and what not, not only for themselves, in their own sphere of action, but for the Legislature and Executive also in their spheres, would make the Judiciary a despotic branch.”(2)

In a letter to Judge Roane, September 6, 1819, Jefferson restated his concerns regarding the judiciary, contending that the Constitution did not give them control over the other two branches.
Had it done so, Jefferson contended that:
“The Constitution, on this hypothesis, is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary, which they may twist and shape into any form they please.”(3)

In a letter to Diplomat William Jarvis (September 28, 1820), Jefferson again warned that making the Supreme Court the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional issues would lead to despotism:

“You seem . . . to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy. Our judges are as honest as other men, and not more so . . . and their power [is] the more dangerous, as they are in office for life and not responsible, as the other functionaries are, to the elective control. The Constitution has erected no such single tribunal, knowing that to whatever hands confided, with corruptions of time and party, its members would become despots.”(4)
And at the risk of boring you with Jeffersonian wisdom, eloquence, and accurate predictions, here is one more statement referencing the judiciary as the “most dangerous” branch of our government:

“At the establishment of our constitutions, the judiciary bodies were supposed to be the most helpless and harmless members of the government. Experience, however, soon showed in what way they were to become the most dangerous; that the insufficiency of the means provided for their removal gave them a freehold and irresponsibility in office; that their decisions, seeming to concern individual suitors only, pass silent and unheeded by the public at large; that these decisions, nevertheless, become law by precedent, sapping, by little and little, the foundations of the Constitution, and working its change by construction, before any one has perceived that that invisible and helpless worm has been busily employed in consuming its substance...” (Letter to A. Coray, October 31, 1823)(5)

Thomas Jefferson knew the weaknesses of human nature, and that “judges are as honest as other men, and not more so.”(6) Indeed, the last line of defense for the deep state and leftist legislators, in their attempts to maintain control of America seems now to be the courts.

 
As Daniel Horowitz stated:
“They have ordered the administration to fund private foreign aid organizations, reinstate specific personnel, and publish designated information on government websites. In one case, a judge even directed the Secretary of Defense to retract a statement on the Pentagon’s policy regarding transgender troops. And over the weekend, U.S. District Judge James Boasburg attempted to block the deportation of violent gang members under the Alien Enemies Act. [The same judge who serves on FISA, the court that issued warrants to spy on the Trump campaign nine years ago. He later sentenced an FBI agent who falsified information in order to obtain the warrant to only probation, while sentencing January 6 participants to years in prison.]

“What’s next? Will they order Trump to stop threatening Hamas or remove the bust of Andrew Jackson from the Oval Office?

“Judges have forgotten who they are: unelected shields against government overreach, not legislative swords that can impose policies. Perhaps Trump needs to examine that bust of “Old Hickory” Andrew Jackson in the Oval Office and recall his (likely apocryphal) response to Chief Justice John Marshall’s ruling in Worcester v. Georgia: ‘John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!’”(7)

In the past few years, we have watched rogue judges (and prosecutors) try to destroy President Trump and those associated with him. Now they are attempting to keep him from exposing and ending fraud in our government, and from deporting violent criminals – who came to America illegally in the first place. If we were not all watching this lunacy take place, it would be beyond belief. Hundreds of congressional leaders and numerous judges don’t want the fraud exposed or the criminals deported!

Chilling Connections Between Anti-Trump Judge, Supreme Court Revealed

By Jack Davis  April 1, 2025COURT

 

 



 

Appointed to the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court by Chief Justice John Roberts and reportedly a former Yale roommate of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Boasberg has become a lightning rod for conservative criticism. Now serving as chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Boasberg has faced backlash for rulings that include blocking deportations of violent illegal immigrants and presiding over cases involving leaked internal government communications—moves Trump and his supporters say reflect judicial bias, Fox News reported.

“The Chief Justice handpicked DC Obama Judge Jeb Boasberg to serve on the FISA court,” said Mike Davis, president of the Article III Project. “The DC federal judges are in a cozy little club, and they protect their own.” His remarks echo a broader sentiment on the right that Boasberg’s judicial decisions – and his close ties within the legal establishment – reflect a partisan tilt against the president.

Boasberg, a native of Washington, D.C., earned a graduate degree in Modern European History from Oxford University in 1986 before attending Yale Law School, where he reportedly shared housing with Kavanaugh, according to multiple reports. After graduating in 1990, Boasberg clerked for the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, then joined the San Francisco law firm Keker & Van Nest as a litigation associate from 1991 to 1994. He later practiced at Kellogg, Huber, Hansen, Todd & Evans in Washington, D.C., from 1995 to 1996, Fox noted.

After working in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, Boasberg was appointed in 2002 by President George W. Bush as an associate judge on the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, the local trial court for the city. In 2011, President Barack Obama nominated him to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. He was confirmed by the Senate and officially received his commission on March 17, 2011.

Boasberg was later appointed to the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA Court) by Roberts to serve a seven-year term. The FISA Court consists of 11 federal judges, each selected by the chief justice. Judges on the court undergo extensive background checks and are tasked with reviewing and authorizing surveillance and wiretap requests from federal prosecutors, law enforcement, and intelligence agencies. Much of the court’s work is classified. Boasberg served as the presiding judge of the FISA Court from 2020 to 2021, after which he resumed his duties on the D.C. District Court.

Boasberg faced renewed criticism after being randomly assigned to oversee a lawsuit related to a leaked Signal chat involving the Trump administration. Following the assignment, Trump took to Truth Social to accuse Boasberg of “grabbing the ‘Trump Cases’ all to himself.”

Davis also took to social media, writing, “Judge Jeb Boasberg is lighting on fire his legitimacy over an unnecessary, lawless, and dangerous pissing match with the President Jeb will lose. Let’s hope the Chief Justice doesn’t light the entire federal judiciary’s legitimacy on fire by siding with his personal buddy Jeb.”

The Founding Fathers deeply distrusted judges. They thought the lawyer class was dangerous, and if given unbridled power they would undermine and destroy free society.    Newt Gingrich April 1 2025

The American Founders’ invocation of the transcendent moral authority of nature is one of the most remarkable acts of statesmanship in human history.

Christianity was the first non-political religion in the West. Being a Christian was not a question of what political community you belonged to, it was a matter of faith or belief. While that was incredibly liberating—because it meant salvation was open to every human being—it created unprecedented challenges for politics and citizenship.

In order to establish republican self-government, the American Founders had to solve these complicated problems. The solution they came up with is famously stated in the Declaration of Independence:

“the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God.”
This revolutionary truth, combining human reason and divine revelation, provided the basis for establishing religious liberty for the first time in human history.

By looking to the laws of nature (or laws of reason) and nature’s God as the ultimate justification for their revolution, the Founders were asserting that there was an objective moral order in the world because that world was created by a benevolent and reasonable God.

Since our minds are a gift from God, and He intended us to use them, we can perceive much of this moral order through our own rational faculties.

This natural moral order exists outside of our will—it exists whether we like it or not. We are born into both a physical and a moral world that we do not create. the laws of nature and nature’s God are fixed and unchanging. They serve as the ground for political authority and supply conventional or everyday law with sacred and transcendent authority. In establishing this foundation for American politics,the Founders -

First, they solved the split between piety and citizenship by supplying a common ground for morality. Because the morality of the Bible and the morality of reason are compatible, one can be both a pious believer and a good citizen, while avoiding the contentious sectarian disputes that tore Europe apart.

Second, the separation of church and state becomes possible for the first time. The Declaration’s teaching about the laws of nature and nature’s God establishes a kind of political theology, a non-sectarian ground of legitimacy that makes the laws “sacred” without getting the government involved in theological disputes about the Trinity, faith versus works, etc. According to many Protestant ministers of the Founding era, this also allowed true Christianity to flourish for the first time because Christianity could be practiced by choice rather than by coercion.

Third, the Founders solved the problem of religious persecution. Because the government and the churches can agree on a moral code that is compatible with both reason and revelation, each can operate in its proper realm without intruding on the other. It becomes possible to institutionalize religious liberty by prohibiting religious tests for office and keeping government out of the business of punishing heresy.

The American Founders’ invocation of the transcendent moral authority of nature is one of the most remarkable acts of statesmanship in human history. The question which we and all American patriots confront today is whether we still understand and appreciate this incredible gift of religious liberty bequeathed to us by the Founders.

Do we still have the knowledge and courage to keep alive the sacred fire of liberty?
