In this day and age when the founding principles--and the Christian origin of those principles--of the United States are under attack from liberals, secularists, humanists, socialists, and Marxists, it is more important than ever to maintain familiarity with the facts and truths of where we came from.

A graet and important column, Bob. de Tocqueville saw clearly in America what so few citizens see today. We see, indeed, the cost of our separation from God and our rejection of the Christian heritage in every newspaper and news report on TV and the internet. There is remnant enough that we can still call ourselves a Christian nation, but the forces of secularism will not rest until that too is eliminated. God help us!
