The Constitution of the United States allows us to change; I don't have a problem with that.

My grandparents knew it was important that I understood Christianity and the Bible. But they never took me to church; they sent me to church.

Historically, America has answered to a higher authority.

The flag still stands for freedom and they can't take that away.

When our forefathers put down roots in desolate places, the thing that allowed them to survive was that they had a faith to see them through the tough times.

I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free.

But if we get to the point where more people do not believe in a God than who do believe in God, we will have a hollow legal system - we will have something without heart.

If tomorrow all the things were gone I'd worked for all my life, And I had to start a new one with just my children and my wife, I'd thank my lucky stars to be living here today, 'Cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can't take that away. And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free.

The papers reveal that in several key abortion cases, justices were keenly interested in the perceived public reaction to their rulings - indicating that courts can be influenced by public sentiment.

When you put your hand on the Bible, you are saying something much stronger than just telling your peers that you're going to tell the truth.

That's why I believe that we must never fail to affirm that we are indeed one nation under God.

My personality is that I'm a human being like everybody else, just a citizen and a blue collar guy.

At their core, when things really matter, people see a need to turn to God for strength and protection.

But I believe there is a decay that is eroding America, and as a result, God begins to disappear from our society.

I'm pretty much an open book.

When you put your hand on the Bible, you are saying something much stronger than just telling your peers that you're going to tell the truth.

It bothers me to know there is the possibility that I as a Christian would be not only an underdog, but that I would be trodden upon if I claimed that I was a Christian.

The traditions of a nation are very important and the anthem written by Francis Scott Key in the early days of our nation should always be revered.

Some people may believe that their conscience is enough to guide them not to lie, be deceitful or do the other things God has commanded us not to do. I disagree.

But if we get to the point where more people do not believe in a God than who do believe in God, we will have a hollow legal system - we will have something without heart.

People who don't believe in God may have their own way of justifying some bad act they have committed.

Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land, God Bless the U.S.A.
