QUOTE : They believed that if America followed the ways of God, it would become the most blessed, the most prosperous, and the most powerful civilization on earth. From the very beginning they foretold it. And what they foretold would come true. America would rise to heights no other nation had ever attained. Not that it was ever without fault or sin, but it would always aspire, one way or another, to fulfill the calling envisioned by its founders at its inception.
