America Today: an Address
Decades of time ago, under a vale of fairness, compassion, protection, and in following years, political correctness and environmental concern, a new culture was brought forth to this nation. Conceived in Godlessness, immorality, corruption and governmental tyranny, and dedicated to the proposition that sloth, greed, dishonesty, stupidity and dependence would drive men to lose their integrity and souls, forfeit their liberties, and grovel at the feet of a self-interested, almighty government and its liberty-fearing leaders.
We now engage in a great moral and social war testing whether those who abhor this damnable ideology will fight to regain the strength and soul of this once great country or allow it to finally fall completely into the ash heap of history. To rebound from the moral and social blight created by those who have degraded the freedoms and strengths of our once great nation and its people to increase their own power and wealth. We are met on a great battlefield of that war at a crucial time and have come to take back this great nation for those who have died defending it, the children that are its future, and those who still take pride in loving it, savoring its freedom and calling it home. It is vital that we should do this for the benefit of the future of this country and mankind. For that last great bastion of freedom and prosperity is fast becoming what it was and not what it is.
We cannot waste, we cannot hand over, we cannot just give away this hallowed ground millions have died to protect. To those heartless and soulless titans of self-interest and character assassination who have desecrated and reduced this society far below our power to rebuild it today or tomorrow, but in the many years it will take to reverse an ideology that reduces God to an enemy of the state, diminishes individual liberty, disrespects private property, limits free speech, negates the uniqueness of human life, promotes the destruction of the family, abuses the most innocent and defenseless, and develops a culture of wickedness and lawlessness to release upon this society, which they then attempt to disarm while hiding behind their taxpayer-funded fortresses.
Unlike the crisis they have dreamed up, if we do not act here in true and real urgency, the world will not long remember the greatness of this land and what it has stood for. It will instead be taught to forget the appreciation of those who it has freed and fed in the name of humanity and liberty and who have craved a chance to bask in its freedom.
On our city streets we are reminded with great remorse of the empty lives and dreamless futures of those whose lives have been used and destroyed by others who use government dependence as a tool for political survival.
It is for us the living and still freedom-loving to be dedicated to reversing the selfish and sinful work which they who have used humanity here have so despicably advanced. To guarantee this nation founded under God, shall have a reemergence of freedom of the people, by the people and for the people. Under God and so help us God.

We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other.
