Unity or Division?

Is the fate of democracy and freedom in America in jeopardy? Is the decline and demise of America inevitable?

These questions contain words, or dangers, few are willing to acknowledge. They are ominous words or thoughts in their rhetoric; they are more so in their possible reality.


Yet, we must address and resolve them. We are perilously and uncomfortably close to squandering the beliefs and values that have made us one in America.

A former Secretary of State was recently asked this paraphrased question: “What keeps you awake at night? Russia, China, communism, terrorism?” The Secretary replied, “None of these. It is America that keeps me awake at night.”

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
