“In America we challenge bad ideas with good ideas, not censorship” DC Draino on X
This was true in the America of the Founders who established the Founding documents on certain Roman principles and Christian presuppositions. But as early as 1926, President Calvin Coolidge was aware of and deeply concerned by the insidious spread of new pagan scientific materialism in America.
As Coolidge knew, Americans are free only because of the truly enlightened Christian foundation laid by the country’s founders. In a speech he delivered in Philadelphia, July 5, 1926 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Coolidge tried to call American’s back to their Christian heritage. He told Americans that the Declaration’s principles of liberty are grounded in man as the ensouled image bearer of God and arise from man’s God-given inalienable rights. And these are found, said Coolidge,
“in the texts, the sermons, and the writings of the early colonial clergy…” The clergy preached equality “because they believed in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man.” Sanctity of life, the right to self-defense, and all the rest of our individual liberties were justified “by the text that we are all created in the divine image, all partakers of the divine spirit.” God’s children therefore, have no “superiors;” there are no modern-day “divine rights kings” who possess “any right to rule…over them.” Americans are free to choose their own leaders.
The Declaration, continued Coolidge, is,
“a great spiritual document.” Its principles are not material but spiritual. “Equality, liberty, popular sovereignty, the rights of man—these are not elements we can see and touch. They are ideals(whose) source and roots (are) in religious convictions. They belong to the unseen world.” President Coolidge cautioned Americans that, “unless the faith of the Americans in these religious convictions is to endure, the principles of our Declaration will perish. We can not continue to enjoy the result if we abandon the cause.” Coolidge ended his speech with a stark warning, “We must not sink into a pagan materialism…” (Back Fired, William Federer, pp. 269-271)
Americans did not heed President Coolidges warning, and have sunk into nihilistic pagan materialism:
“An age of science is necessarily an age of materialism,” declared Hugh Elliot early last century, “Ours is a scientific age, and it may be said with truth that we are all materialists now.” (Darwin Day in America, John G. West, xiv)
Modern Materialism derives from ancient pagan Atomism, which teaches that all that exists is physical matter bouncing around in the Void. This ancient pagan ‘science’ has virtually displaced America’s founding Christian worldview. The result is that materialism is now the operative assumption for much of our government, culture, politics, and law. Materialist operatives control every public institution in the United States.
According to the logic of materialistm “we the people” are nothing but socially-constructed soulless atomized robots that can presumably be deconstructed and melted down into an atomized mass. If we are nothing but an atomized mass we are not individual souls with minds and free wills.
Not only does this situation make our Constitution into a piece of worthless paper, but it leaves all Americans at the mercy of Leftists, Dems, and Progressives who hate us and have been stealing away our rights, our wealth and property, subverting and perverting our children, and flooding our homeland with illegal criminals who have been empowered to rape, murder, and terrorize us
All of this evil has come upon us because we have turned away from our Creator.
