The key question the Trafalgar Group asked Americans two weeks ago was this one: “How important is it for Americans to be able to freely express their religious beliefs in news media and on social media?” The answer was both surprising and encouraging: More than three-quarters of those polled said such freedom was important.
For politicians seeking office based on how the political winds are blowing — the response among those polled who consider themselves to be “persons of faith” was over 85 percent.
Overall, of the entire cohort quizzed by Trafalgar between May 9 and May 12, 56 percent said that, come 2024, they would be more likely to support a candidate who’s bold about his or her faith than one who waffles about it.
This reflects a major hurdle the Deep State must overcome if it is to succeed in turning the nation away from God and toward dependence upon a greatly enlarged central government run by them.
It was preacher Jedidiah Morse, known as the “father of American geography” (and the father of Samuel Morse, the inventor of the Morse Code), who first exposed the conspiracy behind the forces that today are so close to realizing their objective.
In 1798 he delivered three sermons supporting John Robison’s book Proofs of a Conspiracy, which first revealed the Illuminati’s masterminding of the French Revolution of 1789.
Morse knew whereof he spoke, then, when he said in a sermon in 1799:
To the kindly influence of Christianity we owe that degree of civil freedom, and political and social happiness … mankind now enjoys.
In proportion as the genuine effects of Christianity are diminished in any nation … in the same proportion will the people of that nation recede from the blessings of genuine freedom….
It follows, that all efforts made to destroy the foundations of our holy religion, ultimately tend to the subversion also of our political freedom and happiness.
Whenever the pillars of Christianity shall be overthrown, our present republican forms of government, and all the blessings which flow from them, must fall with them.
The danger of the continued deliberate erosion of the foundations of Christianity in the nation was repeated 50 years later by one of America’s most eloquent and effective public speakers, Daniel Webster:
If we and our posterity shall be true to the Christian religion, if we and they shall live always in the fear of God and shall respect His commandments, if we and they shall maintain just moral sentiments and such conscientious convictions of duty as shall control the heart and life, we may have the highest hopes for the future fortunes of our country.
But if we and our posterity reject religious institutions and authority, violate the rules of eternal justice, trifle with the injunctions of morality, and recklessly destroy the political constitution which holds us together, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us.
Lest these voices from the past be ignored, Cheryl Chumley, writing on Tuesday in The Washington Times, reflected on their warnings, along with a ray of hope emanating from the Trafalgar poll:
If we don’t want the left to push America more into socialism, more toward communism, more toward collectivism and away from individualism, then electing a president who understands God-given rights and who openly, unashamedly speaks of a creator who gives those rights is a big step in the right direction.
