STATE OF THE UNION

2

Watching the State of the Union Address by president Obama the other night motivated me to research some of the other addresses and statements that other, former presidents of the United States have given:


Hey, here's one:
"Intelligence, patriotism, Christianity,
and a firm reliance on Him,
who has never yet forsaken
this favored land, are still competent
to adjust, in the best way,
all our present difficulty."

-Abraham Lincoln,
1st Inaugural Address, bold mine
Oh, and here's another:
"I have examined all religions,
and the result is that the Bible
is the best book in the world
."

-John Quincy Adams,
Works, Vol. X, p. 85, to Thomas Jefferson
on December 25, 1813, bold mine
Ooh, this is interesting:

"Cursed be all that learning 
that is contrary to the cross of Christ."

-James Madison,
America's Providential History, p. 93.
And HOW ABOUT THIS!
"In this age, there can be
no substitute for Christianity...
That was the religion
of the founders of the republic
and they expected it to remain
the religion of their descendants."
-Congress,
U. S. House Judiciary Committee, 1854
,
Reports of Committees of the House of Representatives Made During the First Session of the Thirty-Third Congress (Washington: A. O. P. Nicholson, 1854), pp. 6-9.

Hmmm...contrasting these statements with Obama's "State of the Union Address," I think the United States should be in pretty good shape...

Don't you?
