“The establishment of our new Government seemed to be the last great experiment for promoting human happiness by reasonable compact in civil Society.”— Letter of George Washington to Catherine Macaulay Graham: New York, January 9th, 1790.
The first President of the United States of America was optimistic about the Republic which he helped found, and of which he was the great figurehead.
Today is the inauguration of the latest President of the United States of America, Barack Hussein Obama II. While I wish him well, I hold out little hope for the future of the Republic.
The moral order has been overthrown, and power is to be centralized on an unprecedented scale.
First of all, then, I ask that supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings be offered for everyone, for kings and for all in authority, that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all devotion and dignity. This is good and pleasing to God our savior, who wills everyone to be saved and to come to knowledge of the truth.
