Foundation of our nation
“It is the duty of every man to render to the Creator such homage, and such only, as he believes to be acceptable to him. This duty is precedent both in order of time and degree of obligation, to the claims of Civil Society. Before any man can be considered as a member of Civil Society, he must be considered as a subject of the Governor of the Universe.”
–James Madison, A Memorial and Remonstrance, 1785
There are very similar quotes from most of the founders. It’s pretty simple. This is not a chicken or egg question; precedence is clear. They knew what came first. They believed that if you lack a fundamental foundation for moral behavior, it is far less likely that you will be a citizen who ever looks much beyond immediate short-term self-interest, to what is good for the society as a whole.
Events have not proved them wrong.

What lovely people
Once again the radical Left tramples on the civil rights of others, stooping to invading a church’s worship service.
Worshippers at a Bible-teaching church in Lansing, Mich., were stunned Sunday when members of a pro-homosexual, pro-anarchy organization named Bash Back interrupted their service to fling propaganda and condoms around the sanctuary, drape a profane banner from the balcony and feature two lesbians making out at the pulpit.

Dobson’s view of our future, or Wallis’?
Before the election, James Dobson created and circulated an imaginary “letter from the future”: “Letter From 2012 in Obama’s America”
The ability of the letter to sway the election is gone, of course. We have a little space from the election now, and can take a breath.
But the letter is still a useful document for staking out some territory about some likely outcomes of the Obama adminstration. For the most part, because these outcomes depend largely on packing the Supreme Court with leftists, and involve known Democrat plans in Congress, there may not be much we can do to avoid these outcomes by political activity, except maybe a successful filibuster of far-left judges. But maybe forewarned is forearmed, and just maybe there is something we can do by the 2010 congressional elections to slow it all down.
You can read the Dobson letter by clicking the link above: it will download a PDF to your computer, which you can save, print or just view. I have not reproduced it here because it has many formatting features that would be lost, including many footnotes with sources for quotes and policy positions that Obama and others have taken. It is a fairly clear distillation of the warnings given by many in the center-Right about the Obama presidency.
Jim Wallis, of Sojourners, and frequent spokesman for the Christian Left, replies here.
The following will only make sense if you read Dobson’s letter and Wallis’ response first.

Obama really concerned about abortion?
Does anyone reading this think there is ANY evidence that Obama is actually concerned about the frequency of abortion?
