CHAPTER ONE
THE SIX PILLARS OF THE MORONOCRACY
On June 26, 2006, speaking to“progressives” at a“call to renewal conference,” Barack Hussein Obama said this:“Whatever we once were, we are no longer just a Christian nation; we are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.” In June and July of 2007, Obama made near-identical statements to CBS and to CBN’s Steve Brody. On April 12, 2009, President Barack Obama stated at a press conference in Turkey that we Americans“do not consider ourselves a Christian nation, or a Muslim nation, but rather, a nation of citizens who are, uh, bound by a set of values.” In 2006, Obama said we are no longer“just” a Christian nation. In 2009, he said that we“do not consider ourselves a Christian nation” at all.
Claiming that we are no longer a Christian nation is bad enough, but the most disturbing and revealing part is Obama’s introduction:“Whatever we once were…” The implication is that it doesn’t matter what we once were; it doesn’t matter what principles our nation is founded upon. Perhaps Obama means that we cannot objectively determine“whatever we once were.” But determining that could not be any easier. The father of our country, George Washington, expressed our nation’s foundational spiritual framework in his 1789 General Thanksgiving Proclamation:
WHEREAS it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me“to recommend to the people of the United States a DAY OF PUBLIC THANKSGIVING and PRAYER, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness:
NOW THEREFORE, I do recommend and assign THURSDAY, the TWENTY-SIXTH DAY of NOVEMBER next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed;— for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish Constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted;— for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge;— and, in general, for all the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us.
And also, that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions;— to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our National Government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide
