Open Letter To The Judeo-Christian Council For Constitutional Restoration

‘Confronting The Judicial War On Faith’ Conference, Washington, D.C., April 7-8, 2005
Please make a plan for action and prayer without ceasing.
Christians and Jews have two American traditions for defeating tyranny. Armed warfare against all odds and peaceful protest. Today, political action and civil disobedience moving The People is the greater means to resist.
Christians and Jews created the United States of America in a revolution against tyranny. Christian ministers lead their congregations to fight. Patriots proclaimed, “We have no king, but Jesus.” The tiny Jewish congregations risked everything against the greatest military empire on earth. The fight was about who had the right to tax us. Yet, America became the place where it was safe to be a practicing Christian or Jew.
The foundation of the Nation, the Declaration of Independence, states the ‘self-evident’ truth that the Judeo-Christian God created ‘inalienable rights’. The U.S. Constitution specified key rights - starting with the free exercise of religion, speech and disallowing the establishment of a sectarian Federal church. Some States had official churches until their legislatures abolished them. Every state cited a Supreme Power, God, in their constitution. The laws at every level of government were built on a historical foundation of ideas which included the Holy Bible, especially the Ten Commandments.
In the terrible conflict of the American Civil War Christians and Jews fought on both sides against tyranny. The North found secession un-Constitutional and slavery a tyranny worth ending immediately. The South found regional tyranny and invasion un-Constitutional and ending slavery the Constitutional right of state legislatures.
Christians and Jews worked together to fight the tyranny of worker abuse, child labor, public health threats and for women’s suffrage. The Judeo-Christian membership of American labor unions focused struggles on rights.
Christians and Jews paid the blood tax fighting tyrannical Imperialism, Human Secularist Nazi Totalitarianism, and Human Secularist Communist Totalitarianism in World Wars I, II and III (the Cold War). Now, we are fighting Islamists, who hate Israel and America in almost equal measure, in a long, long World War IV against Islamist Totalitarianism.
Throughout these foreign wars, there was the challenge of domestic tyranny. The moral evil of racial segregation was defeated by peaceful non-violence. Yet, all Christians and Jews didn’t see the tyranny the same. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote, “I have watched white churchmen stand on the sideline and mouth pious irrelevancies and sanctimonious trivialities. I have heard ministers say, “These are social issues, with which the gospel has no real concern”.
When five black-robed priest-kings, lawyers in costumes sitting on the high bench, legislated from their courtroom the Constitutional right to kill unborn babies, the Roman Catholics were almost alone in protesting for the right to life. At the same in Poland, Roman Catholics bravely defied the Human Secularist Communists who removed Crosses from public buildings.
Today, America is engaged in another Civil War, a long Culture War, to determine the consensus culture, the world view, and purpose of our Nation. Judeo-Christian or Pagan Human Secularism. The issues; Ten Commandments, public prayer, partial birth abortion, homosexual marriage, euthanasia, etc., are stalking horses for the intolerance of Tolerance and Multi-Culturalism. These Liberal Puritans are culturally cleansing Judeo-Christian America. Their judges are today’s tyrants. The Liberal Human Secularist Totalitarians are hand maidens of Islamist Totalitarians seeking to destroy Judeo-Christian America.
Urge action. If judges order the Ten Commandments removed, then let citizens peacefully post them every day in every public building in the nation on pieces of paper. If priest-kings say citizens can not pray in public, pray in public. If a judge orders a helpless invalid to die, impeach the judge. Demand elected executives send police to protect. Remove politicians who fear to use their Constitutional powers to limit jurisdiction, re-organize, impeach and de-fund tyranny.
Dr. King led America upwards in the way of Christians during Roman Emperor Diocletian’s tyranny. The pagans ordered Christians to include state gods as ‘house’ gods in every Roman home. Many Romans told their Christian neighbors, they didn’t have to pray to the gods, no one would know, but having the idols was required to obey the law of the land and be a good citizen. When Christians refused the Roman eagle, they were declared ‘enemies of humankind’ and killed horribly. Yet, eventually, anger turned to disgust and a change of mind when family after family died terrible deaths for gentle refusals. Judges under the American eagle, demand a greater dishonor of the Judeo-Christian God today.
Please point out the narrow, straight path forward.
