Defending the American Way of Life

In our last episode, I shared about the difference between Justice and Social Justice. I concluded by saying that our founders created a republic based on Natural Law and the Laws of Nature’s God. They summarized this idea in the Declaration of Independence, in which they declared that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. I concluded with this Question for Reflection: What about the Separation of Church and State? Today, we’ll dig into answering this question. This video series is based on a speech I gave titled “The Making of Good Citizens” as part of Gubernatorial candidate Jamie Reitenour’s Indiana Goodness Campaign (www.jamie4ingov.com/).

In our previous episode, we talked about the topic of “Separation of Church and State.” Not long after the 1962 Supreme Court Decision in Engle vs. Vitale, which removed Prayer In School, the idea of “situational ethics” began to be taught in our schools. In fact, today our educational system scoffs at the idea that Americans ever even knew what the Bible says. In Episode 8, we’ll ask the question: Did Americans Once Know Their Bibles, and Even Have Many Verses Memorized?

Welcome to this last of ten short video presentations on the Constitution and Living as Good Citizens.

So, let’s dive in! To see all the videos in this series, please visit www.rumble.com/defendamericanway

In our last episode, I shared how the founding fathers placed a great deal of importance on the fact that ours is a nation founded on Natural Law and the Laws of Nature’s God. Increasingly, however, we’ve seen the rise of an attitude that “my tribe” has been wronged by “your tribe,” and that your tribe owes me reparations!” This leads us to a failure of personal responsibility and a domino effect that ends in anarchy. And so, this raises the following question that we’ll address in this episode: What is the difference between Justice and Social Justice? This series is based on a speech I gave titled “The Making of Good Citizens” as part of Gubernatorial candidate Jamie Reitenour’s Indiana Goodness Campaign (www.jamie4ingov.com/).

Episode 5: What Did President John Adams Mean? In our last episode, I asked this Question for Reflection: What did President John Adams mean when he said” Our constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other? Today, given the background we’ve covered in our previous episodes, we are ready to explore the context behind this famous quote by Adams – a quote with which perhaps you, the viewer are already familiar. This series is based on a speech I gave as part of Gubernatorial candidate Jamie Reitenour’s Indiana Goodness Campaign (www.jamie4ingov.com/).

In our last episode, I left you with this Question for Reflection: What did the Apostle Paul Mean When He Said: Conduct Yourselves Worthy of the Gospel? Today, we will see how the goal of civics education should be the creation of an inner moral virtue. In other words, today we’ll see how the purpose of politics is the well-being, the good of the people. This series is based on a speech I gave as part of Gubernatorial candidate Jamie Reitenour’s Indiana Goodness Campaign (www.jamie4ingov.com/).

Did you know that Nineteenth-century newspapers printed Sunday school lessons, ran Bible clubs for readers, and circulated sermons? Many newspapers printed bible verses they put on the banners of their papers. Regarding the nation’s first common textbook, one author said that the McGuffey Readers portrayed God as “creator, preserver, and governor.” Join me for Episode 2: Governors, Thermostats, and Newspapers in my series on the Constitution and Living As Good Citizens. This 10 part video series is based on a speech I gave as part of Gubernatorial candidate Jamie Reitenour’s Indiana Goodness Campaign (www.jamie4ingov.com/).

This is the first video in a ten part series on the Constitution and American Goodness. In January of 2024, I gave a speech on the subject of the Constitution and Living as a Good Citizen as part of Gubernatorial candidate Jamie Reitenour’s Indiana Goodness Campaign (www.jamie4ingov.com/). Her campaign has sparked a debate about why we should strive for goodness in politics. I have taken that original speech and modified it into a series of TEN short video presentations. This is Episode 1: The Foundation of American National Policy. Discover more videos in this series at https://rumble.com/defendamericanway
