    Wish we had leadership like this today, if we don’t get back to these TRUE leaders, we will never again be the world’s strongest country….True strong leadership with some common sense is all that can save this country, we have to become one nation UNDER GOD….again. Thanks for this story

        I can’t imagine how ‘that whole under god stuff’ would derail your support for luseal’s entire response, as it simply reflects the widely held solid belief that no one can lead until they first know how to follow.

        As I see it, a significant problem vexxing the American electorate is the vast absence of coherent values. When politicians ‘float ideas’ and run focus groups as their predominant method of deciding what to say, they are much more apt to ‘flip-flop’ and lose the trust of the voters who support them.

        Politicians such as Reagan, Kennedy, and Lincoln, are held in high regard, not because everyone agreed with them, but rather because everyone understood they were anchored by their own beliefs.

        Being ‘under God’ implies we would get our head on straight and do what is right rather than foolishly trying to follow the fickle attitudes of the many. Those who follow God are apt to set aside their personal needs to help others, they are apt to support the poor, the sick, the widows, and those in prison.

        Those who chase after their own interests are too busy trying to get re-elected and polling every issue that they leave our nation impotent.

        I agree with luseal that until and unless we come together ‘under God’, our nation has likely seen its peak and will continue to decline economically, democratically, and morally.
