Truth is the one thing that is hard to discover and a lot of people are just not interested. If we are the least bit interested in the truth, we listen to news broadcasters each evening or morning. The word of that is that if you are a channel flipper like me you hear different tales about the same news on different news organizations. They just can't seem to come to some agreement as to what the truth is. The maddest I believe I have ever been is when I learned that our politicians do not have to tell the TRUTH while campaigning. Why do we bother listening to campaign speeches or advertisements during elections because they are all LIES designed by people in advertising to make their man look good. I know, I spent 20 years in advertising.
The Mayflower Compact was a document establishing a Christian colony at Plymouth Rock, Va. in 1620:
"In the name of God, Amen. We, whose names are underwritten, the loyal subjects of our dread Sovereigne Lord, King James, by the grace of God, of Great Britaine, France and Ireland king, defender of the faith, etc. having undertaken, for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian faith, and honour of our king and country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the Northerne parts of Virginia, doe by these presents solemnly and mutually in the presence of God and one of another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civill body politick, for our better ordering and preservation, and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to enacte, constitute, and frame such just and equall laws, ordinances, acts, constitutions and offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meete and convenient for the generall good of the Colonie unto which we promise all due submission and obedience. In witness whereof we have hereunder subscribed our names at Cape-Codd the 11. of November, in the year of the raigne of our sovereigne lord, King James, of England, France and Ireland, the eighteenth, and of Scotland the fiftie-fourth Anno Dom. 1620."
And the document is followed by forty one signatures.
Following are some quotes that should be taught to every man, woman and child of the United States of America because we are FREE and FREEDOM comes from God and so does the UNITED STATES.

As we celebrate the birth of our nation it’s important to know the truth that set our freedom free. This nation was founded not by religionists but by Christian faith.
— the Mayflower Compact of 1620.
This nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians; not religion, but by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
— Patrick Henry
We recognize no sovereign but God and no king but Jesus Christ — John Hancock
[The Constitution] A system, which without the finger of God could not have been suggested.
— Alexander Hamilton
The Lord is our judge [Judicial]; The Lord is our lawgiver [Legislative]; The Lord is our King [Executive].
— James Madison inspired by Isaiah 33:22
"God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that His justice cannot sleep forever. Commerce between master and slave is despotism. Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than these people are to be free. Establish the law for educating the common people. This it is the business of the state to effect and on a general plan."
— Thomas Jefferson
"To the distinguished character of patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian."
— George Washington
Inscribed on the Liberty Bell:
"Proclaim LIBERTY throughout all the Land unto all the inhabitants thereof"
— Leviticus 25:10
I now make it my earnest prayer that God would have you, and the State over which you preside, in his holy protection; that he would incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to government, to entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another, for their fellow-citizens of the United States at large, and particularly for brethren who have served in the field; and finally that he would most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind, which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and without an humble imitation of whose example in these things, we can never hope to be a happy nation.
— George Washington
