Country should return to its roots

June 5, 2012 — The editor:

 

Once upon a time there was a group of men that had enough guts to say, “Enough of your tyranny and deception,” and together they threw a boatload of tea in the ocean.

They said, “After we run your kind out of this country, together we will build a government that serves the people with God at the helm instead of greed.”

With God at the helm they became the richest and most powerful county in the history of the world. Then the leaders of the country and the Supreme Court removed God out of the schools and public places, and the greatest nation in the world started down a road of no return to destruction.

Today this nation is divided with mistrust, fear, and greed. Should the voters and taxpayers get together and say “God help us?”
