Declaration of Independence
IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America
hen in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

    Sad part is that we do not teach our kids our REAL history. Check your kid's history book against the actual documents, it's been edited and rewrote in almost ALL public textbooks. We look to our history to define who we are now; the easiest way to change the way a society acts is to rewrite their history...

    America is divided much the same today as it was at the time of the Revolutionary War. About 1/3 are true Patriots, about a 1/3 are loyal to old Europe Dictatorships and Monarchies and the other 1/3 just don't give a damn.

    Treaty of Tripoli. USA. 1796.

    Reason: Used with relative frequency to tell Americans who do not know the actual history of their own nation that their nation was NOT formed upon the notions of the religion of christianity using the following quotation:

    "The United States was in no way founded upon the Christian religion."

    True. But it was founded on Christian "principles". There is a huge difference between religion and principles.

    That is a lie that the uneducated God hating liberals tell. READ all our documents and you WILL know better.

    "The United States was in no way founded upon the Christian religion." was put in the FIRST treaty by anti-Christian bigot John Barlow AND WAS REMOVED FROM THE FINAL RATIFIED TREATY by the God fearing and worshiping founders, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, John Quincy Adams, and James Monroe.


    This is why liberals HATE history.

    The majority of those people you named (Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, & James Madison) were actually believers of the philosophy of deism. Deists believe in the existence of a divine creator/god, but their divine creator/god is NOT the same divine creator/god of christianity. Furthermore John Quincy Adams and John Adams were believers of Unitarianism, which is the monotheistic belief of god as one person and the belief that jesus was a prophet and the son of god, but not god himself.

    The line which I have quote was in fact used in the the final version of the treaty. which was effective on June 10, 1797, although that won't stop you and other dolts of you calibre of ineptitude from proclaiming it to be false solely because it doesn't agree with your hyper-religious ideology.

    Thomas Jefferson confesses to being a Christian and that we should try and live moral lives like Jesus. If you are refering to what he wrote during his later yers in the "Jefferson Bible" just know that he never published that book, it was his own personal writings. That book was published by the federal government paid for with tax payer money in 1904.
  • lady_c5... luke 2012/07/06 03:58:31

    Do more research. That Treaty was null and void only a few years later and the replacement Treaty did not contain that clause. Even the original Treaty does not contain that clause. When the original Arabic is translated there is no Acticle XI it is a letter from one arab to the arab in Tripoli that has nothing to do with the treaty.
