George Washington (1732-1799)
Commander-in-Chief in the Revolutionary War, President of the Continental Congress, first President of the United States of America, known as “The Father of His country,” eulogized by Henry Lee as, “First in War, first in peace, first in the hearts of his countryman.”
“No country upon Earth ever had it more in its power to attain these blessings…Much to be regretted indeed would it be, were to neglect the means and depart from the road which Providence has pointed us to, so plainly; I cannot believe it will ever come to pass. The Great Governor of the Universe has led us too long and too far…to forsake us in the midst of it…We may now and then, get bewildered; but I hope and trust that there is good sense and virtue enough left to recover the right path.”
In Washington’s letter to General Benjamin Lincoln, his deputy in the War, who accepted British General Cornwallis’ sword at his surrender.
“It shall still be my endeavor to manifest, by overt acts, the purity of my inclination for promoting the happiness of mankind, as well as the sincerity of my desires to contribute whatever may be in my power towards the preservation of the civil and religious liberties of the American people.”
In his letter to the Methodist Episcopal Bishop of New York, 1789
“I am sure that never was a people, who had more reason to acknowledge a Divine interposition in their affairs, than those of the United States; and I should be pained to believe that they have forgotten that agency, which was so often manifested during our Revolution, or that they failed to consider the omnipotence of that God who is alone able to protect them.”
In his letter written to John Armstrong, 1792
“While just government protects all in their religious rights, true religion affords to government its surest support.”
In his letter to the Synod of the Dutch Reformed Churches in North America
“Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.”
“Purity of morals is the only sure foundation of public happiness in any country.”
The Writings of George Washington, October 21, 1778
“The federal government …can never be in danger of degenerating…so long as there shall remain any virtue in the body of the people.”
Writings, February 7, 1778
“Religion and morality are the essential pillars of civil society.”
Writings, March 3, 1797
“Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morals are indispensable supports…Let it simply be asked, ‘Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice?’ And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar stature, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.”

And that's exactly what we are about to face.... A man's principles have to come from somewhere and if it's from socialism rather than religion its doomed to failure and murder on a massive scale IMHO. History, recent history gives very clear examples of this by studying the murder of tens of millions by Stalin, Mao . The dem party truly represents socialism and by their ignorance and treason have been successful in bringing us to this very tragic and fateful day IMHO. -Tyr
