No man can take away our inalienable rights

Jan. 15 is upon us and it is a dark day for our once great republic. We are told that we are not to judge a man according to the color of his skin, then we give honor to a man because of the color of his skin. Martin Luther King Jr. was, at best, a man of questionable character. The FBI files have been sealed for years, so that by the time truth is released, the myth will have more validity than reality; so what is new?

Our nation has just had the first Muslim sworn into the U.S. Congress; his hand was on the Quran. That book being one of the many that represent pagan societies and bring with it injustice, slavery and death. For those who understand the fundamentals of government, this is an act of treason against the fundamentals of our nation's heritage.

Our nation was founded as a Christian republic and the Holy Bible was the foundation of our once great nation. This was the cornerstone of the freest government in the history of man and the principles it promoted included liberty, truth and justice. The founders of our nation did not term rights as "human" but they declared rights to be inalienable rights. There is a huge difference between these "rights." As much as there is between the Quran and the Holy Bible. Human rights stem from man's attempt to do justice based upon man's ever-changing opinion. Inalienable rights stem from the author of life itself, God. They recognize that we all will some day answer to, and be judged by, Him. No man can justly take away inalienable rights, without violating the principles of His justice and righteousness.
