Those who know me well, know that I love American History and love reminding people of the reasons our amazing nation exists today. As I have watched the news reports roll in this "Holiday Season" about how religious liberties once held dear to previous generations are more curtailed than ever in the public arena; as I consider the Louisiana State Legislator's unanimous adoption of two resolutions demanding the United States Congress pass a law forbidding the US Court System from even hearing "religious" cases, I am reminded of something our First President said:
In his Farewell Address, George Washington referred to religion and morality as the "great pillars of human happiness" and noted: "Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle."
