This is the story of how the judges in America, smoothly but surely, came to power and overthrew the legislative and executive powers, making them their puppets. Of how liberal judges speak Newspeak in our courts, and we play allong willingly. Of how American democracy went down the drain as this new plutocracy came to power. Sic transit George Washington.
The book in a nutshell: "it was acknowledged that the state had the legitimate power to prescribe state religious establishments. Therefore, the sole purpose of the First Amendment was to prevent the federal government from usurping this specific State power."
A categorical quote: "Even Jefferson and Madison ... enacted the death penalty for bigamy and poligamy and that Jefferson himself proposed "castration" as the penalty for sodomy."
"The Christianity practiced in America was described by John Jay as enlightened, by John Q. Adams as civilized, and by John Adams as rational. A clear distinction was drawn between American Christianity and that of Europe in earlier centuries. As Noah Webster explained: "the ecclesiastical establishments of Europe which serve to support tyrannical governments are not the Christian religion but abuses and corruptions of it."
And finally: "The First Amendment is explicit: "Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion." Yet, amazingly, most of the contemporary rulings ... involve neither "Congress" nor the "making of a law". ... the free exercise of religion is no longer the inalienable right recognized by our Founding Fathers ... thus the First Amendment violates itself."
Mr. Barton wrote here a clear and precise analyses of the original texts, public and private, of America's Founding Fathers, and put them side by side with the liberals' new interpretation (rather prostitution). It can't get any clearer than this.
If Jesus predicted that there would be false teachers and prophets, the American Founders should have also predicted -and warned us- of these false judges who use their Newspeak language (reading exactly the opposite of what it says) to bring old Europe into America. Jesus was not naive, we are naive.
The reading gets some times exhausting due to the numerous quotes and exact analyses, so I was going to give it 4 stars, but after seeing that the reviewing of this book has become a duel of irreconcilable sides between 5-starrers and 1-starrers, I guess I'll have to take sides too.
