" Earlier you told me that on the day after nine-eleven, you began to believe in God, not only in His existence, but also in His compassion, in His power, and in His complexity. But you left out one very important aspect of God – His grace. I don’t think you hate God at all. I think you feel anger and guilt. God isn’t making you live through all this guilt and pain. That’s something people choose for themselves. I’ve learned that most of the pain in life is self inflicted. I used to blame God for all of that, but one day, I don’t remember exactly when, I realized and admitted that it was mostly my fault. I was where I was because of the choices I’d made, the words I’d spoken, and the things I’d done. I was sick, and I was hurting, and I needed God to heal my wounds. "

" Our founding fathers recognized self-evident truth for what it was, and because of this, they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. But with great Truth comes great responsibility, and our founding fathers were willing to die to preserve the natural laws of God and Nature. Indeed many of them made the supreme sacrifice for each and every one of us, and their blood cries out to us now from the ground they fought to free! Their blood cries out to every politically correct, brain-dead American who takes his freedom for granted, and who passively accepts without question the anti-American sentiment so prevalent in our society. Their blood cries out to us in outrage! ‘Did I die in vain! I gave my life, my fortune, my sacred honor so that you and your family could be free! "

" every single time, without exception, my mom and dad were there for me. They picked me up; they held me; they told me how much they loved me, and, little by little, the hurt went away. And that’s who God is, Angela. He’s the world’s most perfect parent. He’s always there, and He’ll never leave you. It says that in the Bible somewhere, and I believe it with all my heart. I believe it because God is my father, and that’s what father’s are like. "

" Presently, there are those in our government who seek to strip away our rights and subjugate us one tiny piece at a time. But there is one right that we must not lose, because it is the gatekeeper of liberty. It is nothing more than the right to self defense; the right to hold our government accountable; a self-evident right, given to us by God. In short, the one right that protects all others. It is of course, the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States: the right to keep and bear arms. Our liberties, acknowledged by the Bill of Rights, stand side by side, lined up like dominoes, and when one falls, so do they all. Then we are enslaved! "
