Religion and Politics
Dear editor:
With all the talk from the majority leaders of the House and Senate, Rep. Tom DeLay and Sen. Bill Frist, about the need for “morality” (their definition) and a judiciary that is “more Conservative and Christian” (again, their definition), one can not help but think back to some of the Founding Fathers of our country and what they had to say on the subject. We should be thankful that it was they that set up our government and not today’s crop of self-serving legislators.
From Benjamin Franklin…. “A man compounded of law and gospel is able to cheat a whole country with his religion and then destroy them under color of law.”
From James Madison….“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands….may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”
They knew what they were talking about.
