What would George Washington Say About Obama Ordering Military Gay Pride Celebrations?

"Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, Religion and morality are indespensible supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism who should labor to subvert these great Pillars of human happiness -- these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. The mere Politician, equally with the pious man ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with private and public felicity. ... [L]et us with caution indulge the opposition, that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that National morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle." --George Washington (1796)

Let us also remember what John Adams said about the U.S. Constitution:

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." --John Adams

Or perhaps Samuel Adams said it best:

"The sum of it all is, if we would most truly enjoy the gift of Heaven, let us become a virtuous people; then shall we both deserve and enjoy it. While, on the other hand, if we are universally vicious and debauched in our manners, though the form of our Constitution carries the face of the most exalted freedom, we shall in reality be the most abject slaves." --Samuel Adams

It is our choice. It must be a choice. If we abandon our Godliness for the debauchery of sexual perversion, all other destructive tendencies will follow. Rome collapsed from within, because of the civilization's inability to remain moral. As the morality broke down, so did the representative nature of the political institution, and what remained were tyrants and despots who drove the empire into the ground.
