From the time the Pilgrims arrived on American soil, faith in God played an important part in shaping our nation. Images of Moses adorn the Supreme Court in recognition of the Judeo-Christian origin of our laws. But it was Taxes, loss of Liberty and oppression from a mad king that led our Founding Fathers to write The Declaration of Independence and start The American Revolution. Today, those who stand for these ideals no longer call themselves The Silent Majority because we are silent no more.
For all those liberal bigots out there, the song GOD BLESS AMERICA, was written by a Russian Jew named Irving Berlin as a thank you for the blessings this country gave him. There is an interesting story behind this along with a video of the first radio broadcast of the song by Kate Smith. http://performingsongwriter.com/god-bless-america/
