I have been reading about our nation's founders this week. The more I read, the more I uncover the abysmal ignorance of Sheryl C., a social worker who once snottily asserted that our country was founded on violence. To the contrary, our forefathers exemplified patience and probity far beyond that which is natural to man. They also understood true peace with a depth of spirit that cannot be taught in a classroom.
The patriots of the 1770s knew that slaves under the yoke are not at peace, they are only compliant. They had seen King George III repeatedly increase the yoke.
In a different time and place, Paul wrote to the Galatians, "It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery." 5:1
Only a fool could believe our nation was founded on violence. It was founded on standing firm. Our founders were indeed Supermen who believed in Truth, in Justice, and in the American Way being tethered to such principles.
